Whew, these past two episodes are triggering but so real! Love you all for helping me address/fix my BS.

I totally agree with Dustin’s point of view on getting closure. Fran's point of view gave me a different look on closure too. It’s crazy because I found myself in that type of closure a while back and never looked at it, at the time in that way. I just love this show. It makes me think differently on things which I love to see both sides of things or different point of views on situations.

Dustin!!! Not the holla guy from Dave Chapelle Show!?! I can't!! You just took me up out of here, you hear me!! Lmao!!

I'm kinda surprised by your responses. It's really not a big deal. One time, 10 years ago. That's an "oh, I think I know him. We hooked up once like forever ago. I never spoke to him again though..." Chances are, he already showed his friend her picture and this is his friend baiting her to finally tell him. THAT is the problem, that she kept it a secret at all.

And yes, this legit happened to me. Me and the guy walked into a party and there was the guy RIGHT in front of us. He guy immediately pulled him to the side and told him when my friend was getting me a drink and after the fact there was a "Danger! She smashed the homie!" joke and it was over. We never even talked about it again. It's a non-issue.

I love you guys, you are helping my mental health so much. How do I find your individual social media accounts?

This week on #TheFriendZone, we discuss 3-part investigative docuseries The Program: Cons, Cults & Kidnapping on Netflix.
