It's a question that reaches far beyond social media. We've all seen it. The friend who constantly puts someone down, yet they're still defended. The boss who never invests in their employees, yet people remain fiercely loyal. The influencer who openly criticizes their own audience yet continues to grow because the very people being criticized keep showing up.

In this episode of The Fishbowl with Jade, we're diving deep into the psychology behind loyalty, identity, belonging, validation, and self-respect. Why do people stay attached to relationships, leaders, organizations, and communities that don't seem to have their best interests at heart? Is it hope? Familiarity? Fear of being excluded? The desire to belong? Or are we sometimes more loyal to the idea of a person than the reality of who they are?

Join Jade as she explores the social and psychological forces that keep people supporting individuals who may not support them in return. This thought-provoking conversation challenges us to examine our own relationships and ask a difficult question: At what point does loyalty become self-betrayal?
