One interaction is a feeling. Repeated interactions become a pattern.

Over time, your record becomes easier to understand — showing how the relationship has been trending, what keeps repeating, and where the connection stands now.

Followed for 12 years, those who reported more negative aspects in their close relationships had a higher rate of coronary events.
De Vogli, Chandola & Marmot, Archives of Internal Medicine, 2007
The quality of the relationships around you matters. Knowing which ones give back — and which ones consistently take — matters too.
Associational findings. None of these studies establish cause and effect.

Your relationships shape your life. You should be able to understand them.

Start with one person. The rest follows.

The Tea

The relationship stuff you keep thinking about, finally put into words.

Friendships. Dating. Boundaries. Mixed signals. Growing apart. The people you can’t quite figure out.

01
The friend who only texts when they need something
It feels good to be needed. Then you start noticing the shape of it.
02
She posted the plan. Everyone said yes. Then silence.
It is not only you. Here is what tends to be happening underneath.
03
Same story, third time this month
Why the pattern keeps repeating, and where it can be interrupted.
