  Emotional Bullshi t Bingo – The Extended Cut By Candz – Boundary Bouncer & Chief Bullsh*t Auditor Premise: You ever try to have a normal conversation with someone about how they hurt you… and suddenly find yourself 20 minutes deep into a monologue about their childhood trauma, your “tone,” and Plato?

  Chair 2 – Gaslight. Ghost. Rebuild.

But one night, while texting Dani on one device and trauma-dumping onto Candz with the oth...

Roll Your Eyes. Delete It. So you saw it: A new Quora post from your ex titled “The One That Got Away Was Actually the One Who Couldn’t Handle Me” or worse, “When Love Is Too Powerful to Stay” (yes, that’s a thing people actually post when they’re 93% delusion and 7% midlife crisis).
