I love Ian and uncle John- Ian’s son Ivan was blessed to have an open minded dad and and his “uncle” just lovely. All of the friendships here are worthwhile.
I'm amazed that this video popped up on my TH-cam feed. I recently cut ties with a very close friend of 30+ years. Every several years, she has a meltdown of some sort and becomes hostile and mean toward me -- even twisting words I'd said to her in the past and turning them into something entirely different. She has meltdowns with her other friends and, often, with her husband. She mentioned to me on more than one occasion that her mother was mentally ill and wondered if she had inherited it from her. After her last meltdown, I'd had enough. It's become too exhausting to be her friend. And there is always the question of when she'll have another meltdown. I deleted her phone number, address, and email address, and will not contact her again. I don't expect to hear from her again because she doesn’t apologize for her cruel behavior. And that's fine. Our friendship has run its course.
It's noteworthy that honesty is a massive part of the fabric that holds these friendships together. I applaud everyone here. It's my hope that in the case of the man who is sick with cancer that those around him that sometimes it's the seemingly stronger people that need the most support during times of illness because they won't usually verbalise that need themselves. I wish everyone well.
My friends are scattered all over the planet from my mobile lifestyle. Life changes, we change, circumstances change. Great show as I miss those friends.
Did Dianna really drop that her parents thought that her young friend was "controlling and bossy" before divulging she was having an affair w HER boyfriend for 12 YEARS!!! 😅
People with low self confidence often do not have many choices of friends, and make poor choices of friends. Being with a bossy friend can make a person resentful, and cheating with the bossy friend’s boyfriend is an underhanded way of getting back at the bossy friend.
There are acquaintances and then there are true, lasting friendships, which are very rare! I can honestly say that I still have 2 long 40+ year friendships that have lasted through the test of time, and that, along with my family, is enough for me!
There's so much to learn from listening to people being honest about subjective realities. Even if the subject matter is uncomfortable, its quite valuable. Dianna's lack of confidence leading to a friendship which was dishonest on her part from the beginning really made me think about how to better nurture an introverted child so that they can be empowered to make good choices and to stand up for themselves in a way that is comfortable to them. It doesn't sound like Dianna knew how to do that.
Wow ! That was amazing . People showing so much vulnerability in times when we all think we need to be hard as nails . Family is a given (we are not always blessed with the best family ,but that is a completely different topic ) Friendship is a gift . It takes effort and should not be taken for granted .
Ivan is such a kind man - so glad he was able to connect with Samantha. And it's true that those kids have grown up to be most likely reasonable adults. I remember some "outliers" from my high school days who really needed friends and who were mostly likely struggling but many of my peers were unaware since often are are concerned with fitting in themselves. So many of those outliers have grown up to be creative generous and strong people. It's important to let young people know there is a future beyond high school.
Some embrace change - others don't like change and so do their best to avoid it. If friends cant talk about issues in their relationship it can stifle growth and change.
Unhinged women who thinks they always comes first, are to watch out for. Healthy Adults can manage their time and make time for loved ones. Doesn’t have to be both extremes.
31:02 She is saying that she needs to focus her attention only to herself and her long-term friendship cannot afford her time any more only because she reached a certain age???!!! Her friends have spared time and effort for the friendships with her all the way along to maintain the friendships, and she is so self-centerd to ignore all of them, which is really selfish. If all the time and effort one puts into a friendship will end suddenly when the other person does not want the friendship any more for no reasons but only to focus on herself or himself, who would put in their time and effort into such a friendship?! She certainly aged but not wisely. Actually, she herself appears very probably to have been a toxic friend, if her attitude is like that.
Im sorry but your GP dropped the ball, you should have been sent to hospital because of your aneamia. No one has bloods that low without a reason. She took too long to diagnose you in my opinion
Who needs enemies with friends like this.
I appreciate this show and all the guests who are willing to be open and vulnerable. Thank you
True friends don’t have an affairs with their friend’s spouse.
I hate cheaters, pathetic and selfish
Massive props to every guest being so honest and transparent. ❤
I've watched dozens of these videos and I wonder why they never have any comments. This is very interesting and human content.
I absolutely love our aussie *insight* and used to watch it on telly.
Now we have the luxury to bingewatch here! Thank you Insight!
I love Ian and uncle John-

I want uncle John to be my uncle too…it doesn’t matter I am straight woman but uncle John is a gem ❤

That lady trying to not take responsibility is pretty sad
Ian saved two lives
I waited 50 years to be blessed with my bestie ❤ I adore her 🙏🏼 best wishes to all ✨

She really kept an eye on her friend's boyfriend! Big wide open eye
Don't blame the best friend for ditching her for 'looking after" her boyfriend.

Relationships are not necessarily for life. , but for your growth ,

Her acting like the victim is poor

It's good to see that some friendships stayed solid and strong. Having a great friendship is a happy feeling for everyone 💕
12 years and he didn’t make anything official with her?!
Exactly 😂
She was on the side….her low self-esteem aided her in allowing him to use her.
Bill's reaction to the bag in the face is gold. Classic. Good friendships are precious.

Selfish people who has no respect for themselves or the people they hurt.

It was an educative forum which came in right time for me! Thanks.
Regina deserves way better than Kate.
I love these programmes.
Me all of them there good
My brain can only hold my husband, my son, my sister and one friend 😅😅
Thank you for a wonderful episode. I'm watching from Kenya ♥
Love the story with Bill...just beautiful!
A beautiful episode.

My sister is a narcissist and she did this to her friends.. went for their husbands.
Good friends come and often go. People change and you can’t change their change. Move on.
Mistress for 12 years?
Kari I hope u see this. You are the trifecta of friends smart, funny & absolutely wonderful.

Very interesting programme. I wish we had the same shows in Italy instead of all these silly, loud and superficial programmes
Wow …. What a great discussion !
What a moving episode❤ so true about friendships❤
God bless you Ivan❤❤

True true friends are there for you and help you through the ups and downs in life 😢😮😅
Brilliant episode
Such a good episode and I really loved seeing Jacqui Lambie, I think she’s great 😊
i dont like friendships that the person is super demanding or not communicative.
Both my best friends 10 and 30 years betrayed me.
Good conversation.....
Excellent discussion
This is amazing 😢😊
I loved the ones who make the video's ❤❤❤❤❤
Loved this,
wonderful episode.
i think we should always be open to making friends esp a city person when people have changing dynamics and needs ! thx! interesting!
For years is so true
Wow the title is a bit of a hard one to swallow ❤❤❤
Th4is has been a absolute pleasure to watch. Sthank you all and God bless ❤❤❤❤❤
Ivan 💕
Good for your ex friend.
❤
Gilead is here ladies.
Im sorry but your GP dropped the ball, you should have been sent to hospital because of your aneamia.
No one has bloods that low without a reason. She took too long to diagnose you in my opinion
Ghosted? Adults? Disgusting!!!!!
That first lady is a nasty friend
i dont know. we go thru ups and downs. if you go thru a hard time you should go to therapy. not put your friend super responsible
Only five close friends? How ridiculous. I have many. 32:01
Very insightful!🙌🏼🩷💜
