You're Not Paranoid — They Did Leave You Out on Purpose

Philip Garcia

With Philip Garcia and Jasper Whitlow

Ever felt like you're on the outside looking in—even within your own friend circle? Join us in today's powerful episode as we delve into the groundbreaking book, You're Not Paranoid — They Did Leave You Out on Purpose: The Complete Book, by Royston Knight.

Blending brutal honesty, sharp wit, and emotional wisdom, this book brings together all five viral volumes exploring the hidden dynamics of adult friendships—those silent exclusions, subtle betrayals, and painful ghostings that everyone feels but no one talks about.

We unpack why adult friendship can hurt like romantic breakups, how toxic triangles and passive-aggressive politics hold you back, and the exhausting emotional cost of always being the friendship "glue." Most importantly, we'll share insights and practical tools to rebuild trust, navigate exits gracefully, and emerge stronger than ever.

Perfect for women, empaths, and thoughtful souls who've outgrown shallow connections—it's time to stop apologising and start levelling up.

Because exclusion isn't just painful—it's powerful.
