00:00 intro
00:40 How do you have the confidence to offer your advice without worrying it’s wrong?
01:15 Why is earning a lot of money important for me? I don’t even like having a lot of stuff?
03:46 Excluding sex, what’s the difference between your best friend and your romantic partner?
05:54 Heartbreak (is that existential?) I guess it’s the end of a certain path?
08:42 A ‘friend’ ended our friendship because I had too much troubles and worries in my life and she couldn’t deal with it anymore (which was nice since it has been so pleasant for me) But I still miss her and think about her. I don’t want contact anymore because I’m hurt. Do you have any tips for complicated relationships or book recommendations?
12:30 How do I exist in a capitalist hells cape without destroying my humanity?
