Steph Claire Smith

I feel like we do have an expectation when you go through big milestones like this on how the people in your life are going to respond.

And sometimes those expectations, like you can be really disappointed if it doesn't.

And it's weird when like maybe your neighbour or like an acquaintance of yours almost shows up in a more supportive or excited way.

That is very, very odd.

But I think in that there's something to...

I suppose, remember that you never really know what's going on in someone's life.

I think it's very fair and I want to validate you for feeling like you may be... I don't want to call you a problem, but, like, that maybe that judgment is on you.

Like, I get why you would jump to that from the way that they've been acting if you haven't had any support since it's happened and everything.

But I think it...

You don't necessarily have to assume that.

I think there could be many other reasons why they're not supportive of it or that they're quiet.

I just don't.

I don't know.

It's a really tough one.

It's a real pickle.

Do you know what it makes me think of as you say that, which I think is such a good point?

Because my first response, to be honest, I feel like I'm taking the Steph chair today.

I would say put them in the bin and just don't talk to them, like honestly.

Which is, it's fair, but it's hard, right?

That's right.
