Episode Synopsis

Ever catch yourself getting annoyed at the people you love — not because they’re doing anything bad, but because you’ve quietly been carrying the weight of the friendship? When you’re always the one checking in, holding space, or remembering the details, irritation can slowly harden into resentment.In this episode, we talk about:Why resentment builds when we don’t address small hurts in real-timeHow unspoken needs lead to emotional scorekeeping The anxiety of speaking up when past friendships didn’t respond wellWhy avoidance always creates more distance than an honest conversationHow to bring things up early, before the irritation turns into a narrativeThe surprising intimacy that can come from naming a hurt without blamingWhat to do when someone can’t meet you where you are Friendship doesn’t require perfection, but closeness can’t survive silence. Naming your needs isn’t dramatic — it’s how relationships grow.FIND ME: INSTAGRAM: ⁠@theevergreenrx⁠TIKTOK: ⁠@theevergreenrx⁠YOUTUBE: ⁠@theevergreenrx⁠WEBSITE:⁠ theevergreenrx.com⁠For submitting questions or business inquiries, please email me at ⁠[email protected]: Everything posted here is for educational or entertainment purposes only and is not a replacement for individualized medical or mental health treatment.
