## Resource

Platonic friendships are not always as simple as they’re made out to be. In this episode of Still Can’t Cook, we’re breaking down what “just friends” actually looks like… from blurred boundaries and overthinking every interaction to figuring out when something feels off and how to trust your gut. We talk about how to navigate close friendships, what healthy boundaries really look like, and why some platonic relationships feel easy while others leave you drained or second-guessing everything. If you’ve ever questioned a friendship, spiraled over a text, or wondered if you’re reading too much into something… this one’s for you. Hungry for more?
