Hey there! This week I begin with my tea talk (Apple-cinnamon tea in a Little Prince mug) and a life update about everything I\u2019ve been up to, I introduce the topic of toxic friendships by saying why I want to talk about it, my goal, and a disclaimer. I begin by sustaining that we\u2019re all a bit toxic: it\u2019s human nature, so we need to set boundaries, and understand md when these tendencies can be unleashed. Then, I explore why toxic friendships are necessary: they keep us humble, remind us not to idealise people, teach us how to cope, acknowledge how draining they can be, and make a distinction of when they cross the line. Lastly, I share my favourite coping strategies (venting, speaking up, setting distance, and journaling), but take into account the role of insecurity. I wrap up with some main takeaways and share my favourite show, song, and Instagram filter. \n\n\nTO GET DIRECTLY TO THE CONTENT, SKIP TO 11:11\n\n\nFOLLOW THE PODCAST\u2019S INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/theasteapodcast?igshid=r04b2760fkdl\nCONTACT ME THROUGH: theasteapodcast@gmail.com (for business inquiries, sponsorships or to tell me what you think about this podcast!)\nSEND ME A VOICE MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/th351a-beaury/message\nCHECK OUT THE DESIGNERS OF MY COVER ART: https://instagram.com/sofiarrublacreative?igshid=1xtsd1w69zkkl\nhttps://instagram.com/cuerpobaldio?igshid=1jq5cb59nm2z\nListen to my other podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3RhYyCBLVwBuNimne4zVCO?si=AG_LzDsuQdqBYedSmFOkfQ\nFollow my TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJwKjr2L/ \nSTART YOUR PODCAST NOW BY HEADING TO anchor.fm\n\n\nCHECK OUT THE THINGS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE (IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE):\nListen to my episode on the importance of dissatisfaction (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/episode/6dzfaa5heVvkVVHgvnTR1a?si=hVNbzPfORfmYKU05NiUg6A\nTea: https://lateresita.co\nTikTok: @theabeaury\nTake the enneagram personality test: https://www.truity.com/test/enneagram-personality-test\nNetflix show: Lupin \nListen to Meet me in the Pale Moonlight by Lana Del Rey unreleased on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3CdDXjCTThq2njJVM2pGbQ?si=f3l6N5oBSciBYx_DoXkFvg\nInstagram filter: RETRO STARS by marielabagnato\n\n\nHERE ARE SOME QUOTES I LIKED FROM THIS WEEK\u2019S EPISODE:\n12:58 = \u201cWe are all a little bit toxic\u201d\n14:22 = \u201cFor me, toxic behaviours are behaviours that harm another person in any way\u201d\n19:17 = \u201cIn response to all of this toxicity, I think it\u2019s just a matter of setting boundaries\u201d\n19:40 = \u201cNo one person will occupy 100% of your attention\u201d\n21:10 = \u201cSometimes the way people behave in toxic manners is not my fault\u201d\n22:57 = \u201cSometimes toxic friendships are necessary\u201d\n24:08 = \u201cI don\u2019t think some toxic traits are enough to get rid of a friend when there\u2019s so many other things they can contribute to you\u201d\n25:26 = \u201cI think that toxic friendships also help you not to idealise people\u201d\n28:41 = \u201cThere\u2019s so many more pros than cons to this friendship, so I\u2019m trying to learn to live with these cons.
