Most people think Stoicism means being friends with everyone.
It doesn’t.
In this episode, we break down a hard truth:
not everyone is meant to be your friend.
Some people, by their nature, won’t align with you.
Others, by their roles, can’t.
And trying to force those relationships doesn’t make you more virtuous—it makes you more confused.
We talk about:
You don’t need more people.
You need the right ones.
