Episode Details

There is something you have been pretending to understand. Something you have been nodding along to when people explain it to you. Something you have been acting like you know when you do not. A thing in your work. A thing in your field. A thing in your relationship. A thing about your own body. A thing about your own mind. A thing about money or health or the future or the past or the way the world works. Something that comes up in conversation and everyone else seems to be following and you are standing there with a tight chest and a forced smile and the feeling that you are the only one who does not get it. The only one who is lost. The only one who is faking. And you have been pretending because admitting you do not know feels like admitting you are not enough.
