I said it out loud to a woman I barely knew at a children's museum \u2014 overstimulated, exhausted, maybe just used to no one listening. She said me too. That friendship has lasted twenty years. That's what this episode is about. This week we talk about the loneliness nobody names \u2014 the kind that lives inside a full life \u2014 and why so many of us are performing fine in the presence of women who are holding the exact same thing.&amp;nbsp; We talk about the should's that keep us quiet, why adult friendship is harder than it used to be, and what becomes possible when someone is finally too tired to perform.
