In an ideal world, we’d all be able to tell our partners exactly what we’re feeling, as soon as we’re feeling it. But real life often falls short of that. Maybe it feels too vulnerable to express a need outright; maybe you’re worried about being dismissed, ignored or met with hostility if you do. That’s where passive aggression can often come into play. “Passive aggression is an indirect expression of emotions or unmet needs,” explained Tara Rullo, a trauma and couples therapist and owner of Middle Way Psychotherapy

The term “low vibrational” has evolved from a spiritual concept into a viral relationship filter. On social media – especially within Gen Z communities – identifying a “low-vibrational” partner has become a form of boundary-setting and self-protection. While the idea is often applied romantically, people are also starting to use it to describe draining friendships and other relationships.“We are seeing this terminology surge on TikTok and dating apps because it provides an accessible way to categorise ‘toxic’ behaviours,” Matthew J. Greenwood, couples therapist at Conscious Couples Therapy said. “In a fast-paced digital world, labels like ‘low-vibe’ help individuals –

I should have friends by now. The kind you take trips with and tag on Instagram with the caption: “Love these girlies.” The kind you huddle with on the sofa during playdates, clinking glasses of rosé, talking openly about Botox so they can tell you, “Shut up, you’re gorgeous.”I should have friends by now. IRL friends, not “friends” you wish happy birthday to when Facebook reminds you, not “friends” who are really just work colleagues, not “friends” who are people you used to sleep with and might have again once, if you were bored enough, drunk enough, sad enough, or all three.I know what a friend pack looks like. I’ve been studying them since I was 12, wishing desperately to be a Brenda Walsh, a Rachel or a Carrie. How I longed for a place like Central Perk, for a round of cosmos, for intimacy, for belonging, for being witnessed, for being wanted.It’s not like I didn’t have the opportunities.
