<p>What are the patterns that lead us to reject all connection after we're hurt? What are the motives of those who push the narrative that you can only depend on yourself?</p>
<p>Let's vivisect a pattern you've seen before, either in a friend or in yourself. Wear gloves. It's gonna get messy up in this business.</p>
<p>Spoiler Alert: Yeah, it's a cult. But it's so much worse than you think.</p>

<p>It's long, it's rambling, literally train-of-thought. But it is what I promised on the label of this podcast: This is how I think and how I feel. Whatever you do with it (if anything) is up to you.</p>
