Listen "You Don't Have to Hang Out With Jerks (Revisited)"
Episode Synopsis
The 2023 version of a Jonathan Pishner annual topic!
The holiday season is here, and typically that comes with more social interactions in groups - holiday parties, family gatherings, celebrations, and more. While these are supposed to be fun events of joy and mirth, and many are indeed just that, a lot of times it also comes with social stress.
The idea that you "have to" hang out with people can be stressful to many people, especially if it includes someone you have a bad relationship with! After all if you don't want to spend time with some people normally, and it's actually BAD FOR YOU to do so, why should you do it at a time of joy, recovery, and mirth?
Well good news - you don't have to!
