Part 2/8:
Madeline begins her heartfelt query by reflecting on her struggles in finding a relationship. Despite her articulate nature and sense of humor, she reveals a sense of dismay regarding how others perceive her. Her experience with feelings of rejection seems to transcend mere dating scenarios; it speaks to an internalized belief that she may not be “worth hanging out with.” The notion resonates profoundly in her conversation with the host, who appears to discern that her feelings of inadequacy may stem from deeper issues of self-worth rather than a mere lack of romantic interest from others.
