    are u trash for canceling plans? [full episode]

    Enjoyed this episode? Dive deeper into our conversations and access hundreds of exclusive content on our Patreon! Click here to join the community and support the show: www.patreon.com/bobosvoid Picture this: You’ve spent hours cleaning your place, cooking food, and setting up a dinner table with the cute little candles and the tablecloth u got from the vintage store in paris, only to get that dreaded text—'Hey, so sorry, I’m not going to make it tonight.' Or worse, no text at all. Welcome to the era of canceled plans, where ‘yes’ doesn’t mean yes, ‘maybe’ rarely leads to ‘I’m in,’ and commitment is apparently a burden that no one owes to anyone? But why? Why are we so quick to bail on each other? Is it because we’re all secretly drowning in social anxiety? Is it because everyone feels so unimportant that canceling is nbd? Is it because ur therapist convinced u to cancel plans to "protect ur peace"? Or is it something deeper—a symptom of a culture that’s lost its sense of obligation, where relationships feel more disposable than ever? In this episode, we’re diving into the psychology, the philosophy, and the sheer chaos of why our generation loves canceling plans. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about laziness. From the rise of 'boundaries' culture to the perceived anonymity that we all have in this digital era, we’re unpacking the modern malaise of commitment. Let’s get into it. are u plan canceler or are u a good person? lmao let us know in the comments down below!
