grief support group #17 💌 on emotional support young adult books and romantic pursuits

Welcome to the 💌💗GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP🪩🍒‼️. This is my radio show on KSFS Radio at San Francisco State where I talk all things pop culture, my research on grief and media, and answer your advice questions.This week I discuss combatting social anxiety, Survivor 50, the latest on my thesis, thoughts on the portrayal of grief + emotions in young adult books, and answer the following advice questions:★ Why does being pursued romantically feel like being hunted for sport? Also why does pursuing someone romantically feel like hunting for sport. Why can't we just frolic in the field? [AND] Why pursuing someone feels like letting your intestines drag behind you unraveling inch by inch?★ as i have become older and wiser i realize some of my longtime friends have friends I don’t like. I’ve tolerated these aqaintances for a long time but life is too short. I hear you become more of yourself as you age so maybe that’s why i dont like these friends of friends anymore… or am i obligated to like them at all?Ask your advice questions anonymously here: bit.ly/ksfsadviceHere’s the music I played this week: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0FzzOG255wM0E1tbZQmbHf?si=h-W_VUAXT1ai2CG2XWKzUgIf you want to play the music alongside the audio:Introduction segmentMusic break [Perfect Places, Spin, Dance With Me]Research segment Music break [someone like u, Plastic Box]Advice segment 1 Music break [30°C]Advice segment 2 and outroMusic break [Frontin’]Listen live next time on Thursdays from 9-10:15 a.m. PST at ksfsmedia.net or by downloading the KSFS radio app. 🪩 See you there!
