Friend Crushes

Ever met someone and thought, "Do I want to be your best friend... or be more like you?"In this episode of Masc Off, I dive into the soft, strange, and often confusing world of friend crushes - that magnetic pull toward someone that isn't romantic or sexual, but still feels deeply intimate.I reflect on a friendship that blurred the lines between admiration and identity, exploring how friend crushes can become mirrors - showing us the part s of ourselves we've buried under masking, fear, and survival. Especially as queer and trans folks, these connections can awaken something powerful: the desire to finally be seen... by ourselves.Stay connected with Masc Off!Instagram: @themascoffpodLike this episode?
