The social taboos that create isolation and shame. This episode validates experiences millions feel but can't admit: parents who love their children but regret having them, inheritance disputes that reveal which siblings were truly favored, and friendship breakups more painful than divorce with no social recognition. Discover why workplace revenge fantasies are universal but unspoken, how caregivers resent disabled family members while loving them deeply, and why marriages become "roommate arrangements" with both partners knowing it's over but neither saying it aloud. From career regret at 50 when success feels hollow to therapy's failures clients can't discuss, from elder abuse by family members to the forbidden ambivalence in a culture demanding constant enthusiasm, this episode examines why we perform emotions we don't feel and how silence serves power while individuals suffer alone.
