Ep. 1 Adult Attention is Not Validation

from Since Nobody Wants to Say It · host Asia

People love calling teenage girls “fast,” “mature,” or “grown” — but nobody talks enough about the adults who were comfortable desiring children in the first place.In this first episode of Since Nobody Wants to Say It, we unpack the uncomfortable truth behind being desired by adults as a teen and why so many girls were taught to see it as validation instead of a warning sign.From “you’re so mature for your age” to being praised for attention we should’ve never been receiving, this episode dives into the emotional aftermath of growing up too fast, confusing attention with worth, and realizing as adults that some things were never normal to begin with.This conversation is raw, honest, uncomfortable, and necessary.
