The Stories We Tell

Millennials: will they retire? That's what we're mulling over this week. As an elder millennial, Contra Tenore has some thoughts on how this was all supposed to go. Brown is waiting for the collapse. We're all existing in this capitalist hellscape until then.Support us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/WindowGazingPodcastCheck us out on Tiktok:@brown19170 @cntrrtnrOur Website:https://windowgazingpodcast.com/

This week's episode is about how we try to fit a neat narrative onto messy real life events. We're always looking for a way to make sense of the world and sometimes it just doesn't make sense. We also talk about cognitive bias and some pieces of story that are useful and even advance us as a species.Support us: https://www.patreon.com/WindowGazingPodcastCheck out our website: https://windowgazingpodcast.com/

This week we talk about our love of dating shows. Are there any that aren't trashy? Tangents include why Americans need to be on the TV, Contra Tenor's love of below deck, and the complex relationship dynamics of some fairly shallow people.Follow us on Tiktok: @brown19170 @contratenorSupport us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/WindowGazingPodcast

We're talking about relationships this week! Brown's many relationships and thoughts about them, and Contra tenor's one stable marriage or 20 years. Two different perspectives to compare and contrast relationships. <p>There's also a list of "insecure" relationship aspects that I list early in the episode. Here they are in written form:lack of trust-difficulty with intimacytrying to get emotionally unavailable people to respond / be nicelimerance / creating a fantasy world around the relationshipnot being able to tell when people are being nice or meanenmeshment. Not knowing where my emotions stop and yours begin. Chronically prioritizing other peopleeither taking too much responsibility or not enough. In either case ending up in bad relationships over and over againinsecurity of all kindsloss of self: not knowing what I want, not knowing how I feel, not knowing who I like</p><p>Support the podcast: Patreon</p><p>Where to find us: https://www.brownintuitive.com/</p><p>http://windowgazingpodcast.com/</p>
