Loving a Straight Guy: How to Move On & Heal?- EP4 Not A Therapy Session with Yogi & Kabeer
In this episode of Not A Therapy Session, we’re diving into a topic that a lot of us have dealt with—falling for a straight guy. Whether it’s confusing signals, navigating your feelings, or figuring out how to move on, we’re here to help you through it with some real talk and humor. From throwback tunes to heartfelt advice, we’re here to help you navigate love, friendship, and self-acceptance. 🌈💬 We kick off with Rohit’s love problem. He’s fallen for a junior at work and can’t tell if the guy is sending mixed signals or if his feelings are clouding his judgment. Yogi talks about the classic wishdar moment (where you wish someone is gay and read into every little thing), while Kabeer reminds us about the reality of office romances and power dynamics. Next, we talk about a forceful kiss gone wrong. A listener shares how a kiss led to a friendship-ending block. We unpack the issue of boundaries and why forcing a kiss—whether in Bollywood or real life—is never okay. Yogi gives us his Bollywood throwback moment, and Kabeer discusses love-bombing and the importance of remorse and respect in relationships. Finally, we get into the heart-wrenching situation of falling for your straight roommate. Yogi shares a personal story of his first love and how he found the strength to move on (even though it felt impossible at the time), while Kabeer talks about creating emotional distance and putting yourself first.

Gay, Single, & Ready to Mingle? The Grindr Grind
🌈 Growing up gay in India, we know the challenges of navigating love, identity, and mental health in a society that often doesn't understand. In our first episode of "Not A Therapy Session," we dive into real, unfiltered discussions about the LGBTQ+ experience—from dealing with mixed signals in relationships to finding love as a chubby person in a world obsessed with appearances. It’s not just about advice; it’s about sharing stories and creating a space where you feel seen and heard. 💖 Whether you're struggling with one-sided love or trying to build meaningful friendships, we're here to help you uncomplicate life. We talk about the realities of coming out, the importance of LGBTQ+ support, and how to embrace your true self. Join us as we tackle these issues with honesty, humor, and a lot of heart. Let’s make life a little easier together—because, in the end, love is love. #LGBTQ #QueerCulture #GayInIndia #MentalHealth #LGBTQSupport #ComingOut #LoveIsLove ✨ If you loved this episode, make sure to hit that subscribe button on our channel @yogiandkabeer!
