She said the only time the full story with Ell would ever be told is if they sat down together and told it but she can’t see that ever happening.

It’s a “boring” story, but ultimately people say things in the moment and make brash decisions. She still thinks Ell is one of the nicest people she’s ever met but at the time she was very hurt and they couldn’t see eye to eye on things. Also at the time they moved in to the same building Ell’s family warned it wouldn’t end well.

They have spoken and are civil but don’t feel the need to follow each other on Instagram. They’ve only bumped into each other 2/3 times since it happened, and she hasn’t met Ocean. She still has respect and love for her. She’s proud of her. They’re on different pages and no longer have anything in common. She believes that if they’re supposed to be friends again then it’ll happen but it would never be on camera.

With Molly they still talk but Syd got pregnant and Molly moved away so they naturally drifted. She also said Molly “filled the void of Ell” in a way, but it got too full on cause they spent so much time together. She doesn’t think being mums will bring them back together, cause ultimately Molly wasn’t there for Syd’s pregnancy so why would she be there for hers 😬

after watching big foreheads podcast ep:
She has a point about how everyone has breakups with a friend and how if our lives were filmed we would judge her less which is true everyone has lost a friend HOWEVER personally a camera could film me 24/7 and i would still never be half as bad as syd! I think she forgets we see how she treats and talks to her "friends" and even random people (comments etc) so her saying if everyone filmed their lives we would be the same as her is such bullshit, you're a witch camera or no camera

Sorry if this offends anyone but .. her fingers are so hairy 🫣 not that there’s anything wrong with that just doesn’t flow with her ‘clean girl aesthetic’

I have to shave mine every couple days. I’d never walk around with fingers like that!! I wonder if she has ever shaved
 
I agree about her wanting Ell to be in her life again to some sort of capacity. Just finished the bit where she talks about Ell and she admitted that she misses parts of their friendship and basically if they weren't influencers that they probably would've worked through their problems and still be friends (said they needed space from each other but they had to be in each other's faces to film videos bc it was their source of income.)

I also appreciate Syd basically admitting that though they were all friends it really was syd and ell and then molly and how she basically replaced Ell with Molly. She also mentioned she has some type of resentment towards Molly for not being that friend she needed when she was pregnant. Probably not going to finish the episode but she sounds like she's matured a lot since Ocean.

(For those who want to listen without watching/listening to the whole thing the bits about ell and molly are around 19:30 - 32:00 at least on Spotify)
 
Listened to the podcast and Syd came across SO BADLY, she has no self awareness and I think I’d be so embarrased to actually do a podcast about a lot of my friendships ending.
She says that even her nan has said to her if she keeps cutting people off she’s going to be left with no one and her nan is spot in.
I think Sydney should go to therapy because it’s very clear to me she had a fear of abandonment.
It sounds like her and ell fell out when ell got a boyfriend and didn’t have as much time for Syd.
As for Molly I was the most shocked, Syd basically confessed that Molly got a boyfriend therefore wasn’t there as much for Syd during her pregnancy ( at Syds beck and call)
Syd jokes she forgot Molly is pregnant and basically said because Molly wasn’t ‘therem for her when she was pregnant, Syd refuses to be friends with her again as payback basically.
I was so shocked!! I’ve had friends who have gotten into a new relationship and are in a love bubble it’s just what happens, I can’t believe she’d end a friendship over that she has severe issues and should seek help before she passes them onto her daughter sea because she’ll grow up with no friends. Rant oner, I can’t stand Sydney

I listened to the podcast and didn’t take a ton from it one way or the other. Obviously no ‘tea’ was spilt. But I didn’t necessarily think Syd can off super badly but not in a super positive light either. I agree she would definitely benefit from some therapy the whole saying ‘hurt people, hurt people’ applies to her and I think there’s an element of self awareness there but maybe not enough to realise the damage she’s doing. I’m glad her nan has obviously called her out on it. I think sometimes I find it tricky as she can act like such an hole but I remember going through a period of time where I ‘didn’t put up with bullshit’ like she stated but what it meant is I didn’t give anyone a chance ever. I was making up fantasies about the actions I thought they’d take or find faults that weren’t there and give that as reasoning for cutting people off (mine was more romantic relationships though) but in actual fact I was just being an a-hole. My friends use to call me the ice queen etc and I remember thinking hell yeah back then. But after therapy I reflect on that time and it makes me sad. I get why Syd has the mindset she does but her nan is right. She’ll end up with no one if she isn’t careful. Would be interesting to see if her brother is the same. What I did take from that podcast is the host lucy is quite frankly the most overbearing person I’ve ever listened so. She does not stop talking the amount of times she interrupted was madness!
 
I just don’t buy any of it. I would imagine most of us here are similar age to Syd/Ell/Molly. (I am 26).

It IS the age where people start to get engaged, have babies, have serious partners, move away etc. One of my closest long term friends recently moved over to Dubai and now has a boyfriend out there, have I fell out with her over that? NO WAY. In fact it’s made us even closer, we face time a lot, she sends presents over on my birthday etc, I see her every time she’s home and I plan to go over to see her in the new year. You don’t just fall out with people because you now lead different lives ?! What bullshit that is!

I totally get you naturally drift from people we all do it, i have friends from primary school that have remained my friend but naturally we have drifted. We haven’t unfollowed each other on social media, we don’t avoid speaking about each other, we still interact with each others social media posts etc. Her and Ell/Molly have FALLEN OUT. There’s a difference, this isn’t naturally drifting apart. They unfollow each other, don’t speak of each other so suddenly, refuse to even briefly speak on what’s happened and have crappy attitudes towards each other when they do speak on it.

You don’t fully fall out with your long term friends that were like sisters because you are “different people now” 🤣
