In an age where trends die and materialize from nowhere, humans naturally seek community and the desire to feel they belong, but in a society where social media and internet access are greater than ever, when is it too far? Well, clearly it&#39;s when you make them your whole personality, right? With lots of playful banter and rants, we discuss performativeness and pick-me&#39;s, our experiences with them, and how they come to be.

Can You Not Pick Me...

We want to first start by thanking each and every one of you for your support of our small project. Nicole and I initially started this podcast because of our passion for ranting and talking deeply. We thought bringing our passion and conversations online would potentially help others and encourage them to think differently through our episodes on a wide array of topics. Your support means everything to us, and we apologize for our unexpected hiatus. We hope this episode answers all your questions.

A lot of people often use the saying &#34;I&#39;m finding myself&#34;, but what does that actually mean? Is it an excuse? A weapon? We discuss it all in this episode, where we try to stay on topic while distracting ourselves with Marvel Rivals. This episode is meant to be experimental, so cuts will be slightly choppy in certain areas after going through extensive editing! Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

What Does "Finding Yourself" Even Mean?
