The first advice piece really hit home for me. I had a friend who for ten years always made fun of my hair, my body, would get between me and my relationships with friends even my own mother once. I felt like he had a finger in every pot of my life and I only recently cut things off and blocked him everywhere. I’ve been struggling with it so I feel like I was meant to hear this ❤
Navigating adult friendships can be so hard. I've definitely been through several one sided friendships. It's always hard to know when enough is enough.
That last one, christ on a bike!! I'd definitely think my ex husband was going to murder me. My first thought would literally be "omg I'm going to be on a true crime podcast"
I would absolutely LOVE an update to the last letter. I am so curious how the friend of OP will react to critique of his “romantic plan.” It sounds like an ambush and kidnap. A whole update episode if enough people respond back would be so cool, too! Keep up the great work, gerls! 💜💚
You are so right about quality of friends, not quantity I’ve three people I would call true friends and I hope they consider me to be theirs A hundred “friends” can’t compare…!
I’ve cut so many people out of my life because it was always me reaching out to them and trying to keep the “friendship” going. I stopped reaching out to them and it’s been crickets so I know where I stood in their lives. Will always be civil when I see them out though. I feel so much better mentally now
That last one YIKES! I’d speak with him and obvi tell him not to do it, but I’d go a step further and contact the ex wife to warn her of his idiotic delusional plan.
I am absolutely loving every episode! ♥ Oh, and intense relationships don't necessarily mean good/healthy relationships. My best friend and I have not seen each other for over ONE YEAR at times, yet when we do meet it's as if no more than a week has passed. That is a friendship that is built to last.
😮 That third one absolutely chilled me. Even if, even IF it’s done with no ill intentions at all, her reaction and then his reactions to that could so easily spiral out of control It’s not funny, it’s horrifying Oh my god. Please please, give us some closure on that story.
This is my favorite episode so far! It's so interesting to actually talk about adult friendships and setting boundaries and expectations. I feel like there's a million shows about romantic relationships but in my adult years I've had a harder time maintaining close friendships more than anything else.
Omg!!! I went thru the same thing as nova and lymp were talking about re been taken advantage of by friends … EXACTLY THE SAME!! I also waited to see how long it would take for them to reach out to me rather than me doing everything for them. The majority of them took a year to respond and that was only to invite to their bday parties 🙄 why would I go if I haven’t heard from you in a year?!? They would also keep saying we miss you and we should catch up and I will reply YES! I AGREE! but nothing came of it as I would always be the one in the past to organise all of this …. I had enough and just ghosted them … one of the best things I have done. they proved that they were never really my friends at all
I had a friend who used to order things out of my catalogue. Then on a night out she would say I'll pay for the Taxi and that can come off my catalogue bill. It took a real friend to tell me I was being ripped off .
Love this ! I can totally tell by watching your travel videos that you girls are really fun to be around and you’re very sweet to your friends . And there’s never a main character to your group, which says a lot . ❤ ❤
The last one, omg😑😑😑. This is why the bear. And I know a lot of it is well meaning, but the woman's perspective is not usually something a guy is asked to consider. So they have absolutely no idea how something like this scheme, that seems lightly dumb or even romantic, is going to be taken by the person it's being pulled on. You both hit the nail on the head🖤🖤🖤
Oh my god I had the EXACT same thing as Leonard 1, short time span for a really strong friendship and we’d go out 3 times a week… I only realised how toxic it was when I finally stopped seeing him… it isn’t healthy, just leave it! Hard to give it up if you work/live near each other but if there’s opportunity to bin it off, do it! It took me 2 years to realise that he was crushing my self esteem, stringing me along until he had something better, and I was putting way more into this than he was. He was 32, I was 25. I just thought we were so similar though, same humour, music taste, nightlife
I loved the episode as usual and I can't wait for more into the series! nova, I love the jewellery you're wearing - i'm rather obsessed with those earrings where did you get them? 💕
I had been friends with some since we were 5 years old and as we got older (late teens) it was like she expected me to parent her. We lived together for a time until she skipped out to live with someone else leaving me hanging and I still didn't end the friendship. It got to when we were 30s and a mutual friend sat me down and said this needs to stop. Put in the effort you receive. So I did. I've not heard from her for 5 years. And honestly the weight that lifted from me was insane.
I [Stupidly/Naively] thought "Secondary School" would be like an 'American movie' OMG Friends for life kinda thing, but School friends are just 'Getting though it' same as you, and as my Dad once said "Often, just your friends for what they can get out of you" my Dad also said "You only ever have a few good friends your whole life" too
My dad used to say "school days are the best days of your life" so I really tried to enjoy them and it turns out he was right ( the only thing he has been right about).
@@lilme7052 I figured out I was Gay in my Teens which was in the mid 80's when all the AIDS paranoia was going on, So I was S**t scared I might be Outed at School, So I didn't exactly have the best time, think I over did it trying to be "Cool" and stuff, like it might have save helped if other kids sussed me out ["Oh, he's OK, he's cool" ] hated not having Money as a kid too and having to whine to parents to buy me stuff
Hi, girls. Leo here (short for Leonard). 34.8 years old. I refuse to brush my teeth and my only friends are you two (even though you aren't aware) and a potted primrose with fungal root rot. Please advise.
If a friend is crying on your shoulder about how awful their life is and you can think of some avenues that could help them out of this situation I think you'd be a bad friend to not try and help, if they haven't explicitly said that all they want is to vent and aren't looking for advice.
that one where the person is being taken advantage of for rides and stuff, reminds me of that spongebob episode where squidward loses his job and so spongebob lets him stay with him and then squidward turns into a huge entitled diva queen
Nova, love... salt is bad for blood pressure, not cholesterol 🙂 Excellent point you two made. At 61, I have a shite-ton of acquaintances, but friends I can count on one hand... I mean the kind of friends that would help me bury a body at 3am and give me an alibi... and vice versa. Love guys!
About the first story, I've been in many similar situations when I was younger with "friends". I can only speak about myself but for me the reason I put up with it was because I didn't want to be alone. It's very sad but I didn't have much love for myself either and sort of just let it happen. So it was partly abandonment issues and partly a self love thing. Like I said I'm only speaking from my own experience not necessarily Leonard's, but if you relate that's how I saw it. Now I feel like I much rather be alone than put up with that sort of disrespectful self centered behaviour. A relationship needs to go both ways where you give to each other. One person should never feel like they're being overlooked or taken advantage of.
At 26 I met a girl at a club and we became the fastest of friends and fell wildly in friendship with each other. But we only ever hung out on weekend at the indie bars and gay clubs with alcohol. When we finally did start hanging out during the day we did NOT get along at all in fact we would argue and fight constantly. It was so sad to lose her as a friend. We reconnected years later but it’s not the same and we’re just polite with each other.
Never heard of "let lions lie" heard of "let sleeping dogs lie" I'm guessing it means the same thing. Fun fact, I'm sure there's an episode of Only Fools and Horses called Sleeping Dogs Lie. Ps. Absolutely love you two!
Uhhhm… I’ve heard of this happen, but never to me. It seems that RUclips unsubscribed me somehow, even though I just watched a video of yours from 6 years ago yesterday. I resubcribed but thought I’d let you know it happened! 💜🖤
Inside the Actor’s Studio is taped at the illustrious school of acting (/sarcasm) called Pace University!!! … I only know because it’s my alma mater (I graduated from the business program 😂)
One of my school friends is now a surgeon specialising in the liver, so odd to think that we were both in the same classes for our high school years and now she's saving lives and I look after cats to pay the rent. 😂 She posted a pic on FB ages ago with a pint of beer in her hand to celebrate performing her first liver transplant. You can take the girl out of a rough school but you can't force her to drink that fancy stuff! 🍻✅♥️🍹❌😂
I feel like with situation no 2 , its unclear what the friend is going through. They might not be able to give 100% all the time but still want you in their life. They may not realise their behaviour. As for leonard 3. Bullshit she cant remember. Thats a mad situation though. 4. Genuinely scared for the woman😮
Had a friend like that they were wearing me down never had no place to live stay with people ,came to see me off there face. The next evening when to pub friend s birthday she came along my nice gay mate she goes up to him demanding a drink that just got me mad and told her got messy that was it horrible mate rang me all the time .
I just want to interject and say that Leonard 3 needs to be careful about telling the girl who “doesn’t remember” about the sex… in this day and age, if the person was so drunk that they can’t remember, then the topic of consent because a huge issue. Obviously they asked multiple times etc, but that doesn’t wash if the other person was so incredibly pissed that they can’t actually remember the event 🙄 you just have to be very careful
I have a huge crush on a boy. How do I know if he likes me back? He complimented my nails and my glasses once. He seems to like talking to me. He followed me out of church like I was walking out noticed him going left but my car was right so i walked towards it then poof he was next to me and chatty. I told him I like jokes and he did the banana orange joke all night long. WHAT DO I DO.
on the topic of the drunk hook up the other thing i’d really want that person to stress if they did bring it up is the fact that they did check in often, if they really don’t remember it. because giving consent while drinking is a very slippery slope.
3 videos in one week? how lucky we are gerls
Haven’t we done well.
I absolutely love this new series please keep doing it as long as it's still fun for you of course.

I'm loving the pod!!!! Thank you for this! Can't wait to listen at work! 100 stars!
I think this should be a phone-in. There are so many questions that need to be addressed before definitive help/advice can be given.
I just couldn't take my eyes off you both. You're sooo adorable!

This is so good and relevant. Liked and shared. Well done. I look forward to more episodes.

Wow I really love this ❤ I was enjoying this so much and was hoping it was not going to end
I swear Olympia looks like 2 completely different people in and out of makeup yet nova looks slightly different out of makeup
Well to be fair Nova's still wearing a fair amount of makeup here 😅
I am still astounded that Lymp can look like just about anyone. Her Elizabeth Holmes still completely boggles my mind. Whaaa? How? Crazy.
Is your second personal story about Char? (I joke 😂)
If they hadn’t just had her in a vid I’d be questioning it as well 😂

I wondered that, too.
Oh my lord how poorly do u think of char😭😭😭😭 she treats her wigs like shit not her friends

Great job gerls!👏🏽👏🏽🩵💙🧡💜🧡🩵💙💚🤎❤️
Bend it into a point😂
Giving advice - here's the secret. Only give it, if they ask for it. Unsolicited advice never lands.
If a friend is crying on your shoulder about how awful their life is and you can think of some avenues that could help them out of this situation I think you'd be a bad friend to not try and help, if they haven't explicitly said that all they want is to vent and aren't looking for advice.
@@Novympia fair enough. But advice rarely lands. You can lead the horse to the water, etc.

Idk why but today's episode felt so short! Maybe cause there was less Lenard's in this one? Either way it went by so fast! I wish it was longer 💖
I'm curious in the first letter if they are paying for everything does the younger person ever buy the round of drinks?

The ex-husband is either ignorant or on his last call. I’d tell him if you talked to a therapist about this what do you honestly think they will say.
