Bird Brain | S8E34(333): The Myth of ‘No Expectations’/ Love Without Obligations or Accountability?

We praise the idea of having “no expectations” in relationships—calling it freedom, maturity, or spiritual detachment. But is it? Or is it often just emotional avoidance dressed up as wisdom?

In this episode, we unpack the myth of “no expectations,” exploring how people still rely on unspoken emotional agreements—loyalty, support, presence, effort—while refusing to name them. We examine why some people reject expectations, not because they are evolved, but because they want love without responsibility, connection without reciprocity, and care without accountability.
