Coping With Friendship Anxiety

Deskripsi

We’ve never analysed our friendships more – doorbell friends, friendship audits, rankings, and the architecture of “meaningful connections”. But in a world defined by overwork, isolation, algorithms, and convenience culture, is all this discourse actually bringing us closer… or just giving us new ways to spiral?This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson are unpacking the rise of friendship anxiety and the limits of the tools meant to soothe it, ultimately discovering that the real issue is structural: a world that engineered community out, then sold it back to us as a subscription.And because the wellness zeitgeist never sleeps, we’re also talking: the DIY labs closing the loop on longevity testing, and Kylie Jenner’s new hydration drink that makes you “glow from within” (sigh).
