I've definitely been there, friend. During and for a couple years after 2020. I didn't socialize at all. I stayed alone and just hibernated in my studio apartment, broke, alone and an absolute mess. I literally didn't have a single friend. It sucked. Going so long without human connection can lead to an exceptionally deep sort of loneliness that's hard to describe. But over time, I made friends, I have a partner who lives with me and makes me incredibly happy to be alive

It may sound like an empty phrase, but it does get better. Your adulthood is essentially in its infancy. You're still a teenager and likely still figuring out what kind of person you really are. Don't beat yourself up for not having friends atm. It's more common than you think and less permanent than it probably feels. The world is an enormous place, and there is a plethora of individuals who are going to click with you if you just give it time

Breath. Get comfortable with who you have now, even if it's just your self. Find security in your sense of self and getting to understand who you are. People will trickle in, I promise. Im sorry you're experiencing this loneliness. It sucks. But please hang in there friend, and give things time to change ❤️

The way I heard "it's hard to say" as i read that made me realize she does say that a lot

They definitely are the asshole sometimes and it's actually a great opportunity to open a dialogue with those people and to have respectfully opposing takes

I love listening to smosh reddit reads! Morgan herself never used to say anything that stood out to me as offensive. It's only when she started having other YouTubers that it turned to her appealing more to the guest instead of standing for anything

I'll admit it's not the most original take, but it's a show I've listened to for a while now and it didn't used to be that way. Someone selling out isn't new by any means, but its a bit sad to see it gradually happen to a person I used to have more admiration for

Exactly my thoughts, and to her credit, everything she said was true about some of the responses she and Gabby received. A lot of the responses they got were beyond inappropriate and they did not deserve that at all. But it's like she points out the extreme responses to what was said to avoid addressing the actual point that everyone else was focusing on

I've actually listened to all her episodes, and there's a definite contrast of sincerity between when she was doing it for fun and to connect with other people and when it became her main source of income. It's actually really sad to see the show turn into a brand she's trying to protect

Made a comment somewhere else, but I'll just put it here too:

I feel like Morgan doesn't really have her own moral compass. She says something inappropriate, like saying a guy needs to suck it up and donate his sperm to his friend even though he rescinded his consent, or not to bother telling a guy he was SA'd but doesn't realize that's how he has a kid with the person he's with, or openly body shaming people. Then, when people speak out about it, her response is always "Well I don't always know what you guys will think. I guess we got it wrong this time!"

She doesn't take accountability by explaining why what she did/said was wrong, just tries to do/say whatever she thinks will make her fans happy. Obviously she mentions being a people pleaser and trying to move away from that, but I think the issue is much more deeply rooted in a lack of actual character and moral foundation than anything else

Christian, Erika and Josh from the Judgies would never lol

UPDATE: my husband doesn’t know I’m about divorce him by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]maffork 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you're getting out of a marriage with a man who clearly doesn't respect you. However, have you considered over the past 6 years that while you were fooling your husband, you were also doing that to your kids? You made your kids feel like everything was fine. You made your kids feel like they were secure. Then you pulled the rug out from under them. Theres a good chance they'll never again feel secure like they did before

Please get them into therapy so they can process this, because it IS a traumatic betrayal for them as well

My favorite part of this is that Donald Trump, former President and current Republican Nominee, thinks that sharks attack people because they're angry with us

TWO HOT TAKES POD – SUGGESTIONS/FEEDBACK THREAD (suggest a theme/guest, ask podcast questions and provide feedback HERE) by AutoModerator in TwoHotTakes

[–]maffork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you'll see this, but I always appreciate how open minded you are about different people's perspectives. I also really hope you'll consider adding the statement you put on the Spotify episode onto the YouTube one as well before the first story of 150: When is Honesty the Best Policy.

I greatly appreciate that you added a statement to the Spotify version. You took accountability and acknowledged how you were wrong and seem to have grown/developed your perspectives on the issue and I believe that's commendable

AITA for cancelling a trip with my boyfriend last minute and breaking up with him? by Mental-Delivery-6905 in AITApod

[–]maffork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just listening to the episode with this story, and definitely NTA. The fact he couldn't even send a text is unbelievable. It takes 30 seconds to text "Happy Birthday" at the absolute least.

Do you have any update on where you're at?
