Do Singaporeans Really Have Diverse Friends or Just Say We Do?
If everyone in your circle agrees with you… maybe it’s not a circle. It’s a bubble.
In this episode, we’re getting real about friendship diversity — and why differences matter more than most of us realise.
Annette and Zaki talk about what it means to have people in your life who aren’t just like you — in race, beliefs, personality, or politics. It’s not always comfortable. But it might be exactly what you need to grow.
From personal dealbreakers (like dishonesty and fake vibes) to navigating hard conversations, we break down what makes friendships last — and what makes them matter. And we hit the streets to ask Gen Z Singaporeans: how diverse are your friends, really?
