Do I like who I am around this person?
“Are you being 80% yourself? Are you being 10% yourself?” 31:10
From three girls’ trips in two weekends. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
The episode's own mini exercise, from 30:55. Use it for one friend or for a whole group chat.
Stars are for honest, specific answers. It never tells you whether the friendship is good. Answering “defensive” earns the same star as “curious”.

At the Maine bachelorette, Jean was the only single woman there. Everyone else was married, and all but one had kids. “There were points in the conversation where I obviously had nothing to add.”
“My first thought was, they are so different. But then I took a step back and I was like, wait, I’m the different one.”

Her takeaway was to build friendships with people in a similar life stage, because “for a weekend it was beautiful,” but every day “I would start to feel bad.” This is for anyone who has felt like the different one at the table: single at an age when that comes with a look, child-free, a career detour, a move nobody else made.

Only facts the captions tie to one sister. The trips to Japan, the matcha farm and the friendship-breakup tears are left out until we know who said them.
Just the two of them, back from a wholesome bachelorette in Vermont, a countryside weekend in Portugal and a bachelorette in Maine. Along the way: the difference between a holiday and a vacation, a COVID bob, a Jeff Probst shirt, and the friendship audit.
