Hi.
Welcome back to eat your crust podcast.
I'm Jisoo.
And I'm Crystal.
All right, so today's topic I think is very entertaining, at least for myself.
We're going to explore a concept that Crystal and I and a few of our friends discussed extensively in our trip in Portugal and Spain.
The concept is this, depending on how many people are in your group of friends, the dynamic really changes.
And your level of comfortability based on your own personality and friendship style also changes significantly as well.
So the concept that we're exploring today spans from a friendship of duos, so yourself and one other friend all the way up to quads and, well, I don't know what the five quantity number is, but anywhere from two to five.
Yeah.
This kind of reminds me of, like, a meme that I see sometimes that says, like, oh, when you hang out with a different group of friends and you're using the wrong personality, there's definitely different dynamics depending on, like, how big a friend group is.
Maybe not necessarily always to the extreme of, like, you feel like you're using a whole different personality, but there's just definitely different vibes and different ways people function within a friend group as well.
Yeah, for sure.
What sticks out to me as the biggest difference between, say, like, a hangout between two people and a hangout between five people is the intimacy in a two person hangout and also the intimacy in a two person friendship.
To me, and I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
To me, a two person friendship is a lot more dynamic, as in, you and one other person are bouncing things off each other.
And even if it's not necessarily always, like, a deep conversation, it is a very private conversation, which I think can sometimes allow for a lot more, I don't know, in depth secrets or, like, not even just a secret, but maybe something you wouldn't necessarily tell another person, you might be more willing to open up with this specific person.
And I think in the friendship itself, too, it requires a lot more, like, handiwork, if that makes sense.
Although I think there's room for two person friendships to be more natural because it's just you and one other person, so it flows a little better.
Yeah, I think, like, in a two person friendship, I agree with what you said earlier about it being easier to just, like, say stuff that maybe you wouldn't have said in a larger group because it just feels more intimate and maybe, like, even safe where it's like, oh, like, just this person's gonna hear me say this so I can receive one judgment at a time.
