Episode 5 — Why Is Their Life So Much Better Than Mine?

Have you ever looked at someone else’s life and suddenly started questioning your own?

Their studies. Their looks. Their relationships. Their achievements. Their life in general… and somehow, yours starts feeling like it’s not enough.

In this episode of UNTOLD, we’re talking about comparison — where it comes from, why jealousy and envy can sometimes hide behind it, and why we tend to compare ourselves most when someone has something we deeply want.

I also talk about university, social media, feeling behind at 21, and how comparison can sometimes reveal things we actually want for ourselves.

And after talking about people leaving our lives in the last episode, we’re also asking what happens when we start looking at the people who stayed… or simply moved on without us.

Maybe comparison isn’t something we need to completely get rid of. Maybe we need to understand what it’s trying to tell us.

UNTOLD — Curiosity Starts Here.

Welcome to Episode 5, Curious Souls. ♡

When Did We Become Strangers?

A conversation about change, growing apart, and the people who were once a big part of our lives but eventually became memories. Why do we drift away, and does every ending need someone to blame?

Maybe we didn't become strangers… maybe we just grew in different directions.

في حلقة اليوم: متى أصبحنا غرباء؟

نتحدث عن التغيّر، والتباعد، والأشخاص الذين كانوا يومًا جزءًا من حياتنا ثم أصبحوا ذكريات. عن لماذا نبتعد، ولماذا لا تحتاج كل نهاية إلى شخص نلومه.

ربما لم نصبح غرباء… ربما فقط نمونا في اتجاهات مختلفة.

The Illusion of Love vs. The Reality of Connection

Are we searching for love, or looking for ourselves in someone else?

In this episode, we step behind the lyrics—starting with BLACKPINK’s Lovesick Girls—to explore the subtle line between needing love and choosing genuine connection. Join Ruth as we break down romantic expectations, attachment vs. real intimacy, and why feeling safe and understood matters most.

Listen now & share your thoughts: Are we looking for love, or are we looking for safety?
