Our anonymous advice segment where you submit your questions and I give advice. Todays questions: 1. "I just found out my work best friend has been interviewing for other jobs and didn’t tell me. I know it’s professional decision but it feels like a betrayal because we used to always vent about how much we hated our jobs and couldnt survive without the other person" 2. "My little sister is always the favorite, when I tell my parents they say I should be happy for her but I always feel like the lesser sibling" We chat about things like harsh realizations about relationships and not being as close as we thought we were, pulling on the loose thread that maybe we're not where we're meant to be, and how to clap for ourselvea even if others don't, or the double edged sword of being the favorite.
