I have a question about this episode Valentines Week Love Fest - Encore - How Men Are Changing in Relationships and this Journey to Self-Awareness. I also have a question about the episode #068: Mark’s First "Girlfriend" Tells Her Story with Michelle Dow and the topic of developing emotional intelligence. I am almost 60 years old and have started looking back at my younger years, especially ages 12 to 32. I believe my frontal lobes came online late, and I developed many strong attachments to girls during that time. I think I fell in love maybe 12 or 13 times. No one ever spoke to me about my brain, and I realize my brain made me a real asshole. I was hurt, and other people were hurt. I take responsibility for my own actions, but is it also OK for me to harbor a little resentment about my education? Would I have listened if someone had told me about it?
How can I maintain friendships while experiencing personal growth and change, especially if I have a tendency to leave friendships behind or struggle with finding interesting things to talk about?

Meeting the Anger Within + Taking Off Your Mask with Hannah Eden, and 881: Finding Your Angle in Covert Love Triangle | Feedback Friday. Many relationships that were very good at one point faded when I moved on, started new things, or grew professionally. I feel responsible for this.
