This week on Brutally Human, we’re dragging that messy, manipulative behavior into the light. From guilt-tripping to gaslighting, we’re unpacking what happens when people weaponize their wounds, hide behind hardship, and avoid accountability at all costs.We’re also talking about why people get burned out caring, how social media fuels this culture of performative suffering, and why Kyle made the decision to completely walk away from online spaces for his own mental health.This is not an episode about blame.It’s an episode about boundaries, self-awareness, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes the villain is the one holding the mirror.And next week? We’re getting raw with toxic masculinity—what we were taught, what it cost us, and how we start rewriting the script.
