You Don't Miss Them, You’re Just Lonely
About this episode
This episode discusses how loneliness can lead to romanticizing past relationships and the difference between missing someone and missing companionship.
Welcome to your post-Valentine's Day clarity episode 🥴 If the past month has had you randomly thinking about your ex and wondering if you actually miss them… consider this your sign that you probably don’t miss them, you’re just lonely. In this episode, I talk about how nostalgia can trick us into romanticizing the past, why missing someone doesn’t always mean you want them back, and how loneliness can blur the line between love and familiarity. You don't miss THEM, you just miss having someone. Trying Not to Care is sponsored by Ollie - Treat your Palentine with Ollie! Go to ollie.com/ tntc and use code tntc to get 60% off your first box!
