Dear Stefan—I hope you are doing well!
I am writing you in despair, and would like to ask you to take just a minute for me to consider what I say.
I would like to share with you upfront that I feel anxious sending you this—reaching out and getting help from others is a difficult thing for me to do.
So, I've been part of our community for 7 years, and although it changed my outlook on life, I am now realizing how I have not overcome the solitude of my childhood, yet. I did not take your advice of getting into therapy early. Now, my therapist is overbooked and struggles to find time for me.
I have started feeling depressed in June this year, triggered by a podcast of yours, talking about the dangers of deferral—sticking with bad relationships, and not finding the right partner. I personally have never ever pursued a single woman in my life, and outright rejected those who approached me.
I would say I have the foundation to become a great psychological helper, as a coach or therapist. I have received much praise from people over the years, helping them gain clarity in their relationships. However, I have not taken any training in this field, and am currently engaged in producing videos and social media posts in the health & fitness field, which I am not curious about pursuing as a career.
More or less all over sudden, I am overcome with regret, and am losing much of the positive outlook on life. After a 6 week hiatus from my minimum-wage job, I'm distraught realizing I am still living the same small life as 7 years ago.
Please tell me outright if what I write doesn't sound like the thing you would be open to discuss, but just in case there is a chance you might be able to take some time for me, would you at least hear my story?
Maybe we can prevent at least one other person from making the same mistakes I made.
Thank you so much for everything you do, Stefan!

In this episode, I tackle audience questions, starting with George St. Peterson's role in the Russia-Ukraine war and the importance of diverse opinions. I discuss the potential resurgence of Christianity in the West, emphasizing the need to apply rationality to moral discussions.
I explore the influence of childhood experiences on ethics and offer insights on co-parenting with an irresponsible partner, stressing the social context of relationship choices. Additionally, I analyze how welfare programs impact family dynamics and accountability and confront the complexities of free speech in incendiary contexts.
Finally, I reflect on originality in thought-sharing and encourage critical engagement with ideas amid widespread misinformation, expressing gratitude for the audience's support in navigating these discussions together.

"Hi Stef! My name is [x] and I've been listening to your show for a couple years now, my husband introduced it to me shortly after we got married. I've really enjoyed learning about philosophy and self-knowledge and have been applying it to my marriage and other relationship queries. I was hoping to talk to you about some struggles I've had maintaining relationships (friendships) throughout my life. I've never had a local friendship last more than a few years. I'm about to continue my self-knowledge work by going to a Christian group therapy (Freedom session) and I was told I would need a sponsor (a friend or relation) to closely connect with for these group sessions. It occurred to me that I don't have any close friends and no one I could ask (besides my husband). To me that is alarming. I feel as though I should have at least one long term close friendship. My husband and I talk about this often - how I often have difficulties maintaining friendships. I've ...
