Welcome to Do As We Say, Not As They Did!

The Truth About the Friend Zone

What if we’ve been thinking about the “friend zone” all wrong? Emotional needs and physical needs are different, and sometimes we get them met in very different places.

For some of us, physical intimacy can feel WAY easier than actually letting someone get close enough to know us.

And that means the “friend zone” isn’t just something women supposedly do to men. Any of us can separate the people we trust with our emotional vulnerability from the people we pursue physically.

On this week’s episode of @DoAsWeSayPod, @DrLizPowell and @DrNerdLove are talking all things related to the “friend zone,” emotional intimacy, vulnerability, and communication through two Reddit stories that range from awkward to downright toxic.

Turns out, who you feel safest with and who you think you’re supposed to want can get pretty complicated.
