— [Speaker Name] · Therapist & Researcher

There is a difference between being liked and being known. Most of us, if we're honest, have spent more time on the first than the second. [Speaker Name] spent an hour on Sunday unpicking why — and what it actually costs us.

The talk moved between attachment theory and lived experience, between clinical observation and the specific texture of modern loneliness. It was one of those sessions where you find yourself nodding slowly rather than quickly.

"The most exhausting thing in a human life is performing a version of yourself that nobody challenged you to create."

The homework

Before Thursday, [Speaker Name] asked us to do one thing: have one conversation this week where you say something true that you'd normally leave unsaid. Not confrontational. Not dramatic. Just honest. The kind of thing you usually keep back because it feels like too much.

This week's homework

"Have one conversation where you say something true that you'd normally leave unsaid. Notice what happens."
