🎧 FRIENDSHIP (Part 2): The Hidden Truth About What It Really Takes

Episode Title: “The Truth About Friendship – Part 2” – The Wrong Words Podcast

We thought Part 1 unpacked a lot… but Part 2 of our deep dive into "friendship"? This one cuts even deeper.

In this follow-up episode, Oliver Marcelle and Luvon Dungee revisit the word friendship—not just from a cultural or social standpoint, but from a deeply personal, introspective lens. This isn’t just about how we define friendship with others... it's about how we’ve defined it with ourselves.

From the Aramaic root meaning “study partnership” to Proverbs 17:17—“A friend loves at all times”—this episode pushes past the surface and into what true, sustainable friendship actually looks like.

🧠 What You’ll Take From This Episode:

• Why many friendships are transactional, not transformational

• What a work friend really is—and why the word friend may not apply

• How your lack of self-friendship could be blocking you from building healthy relationships

• The difference between being familiar with someone and being a true friend

• Why we assign the title “friend” too quickly—without evidence to back it up

📚 We expand on:

• Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Old English roots of the word “friend”

• How corporate friendships are often seasonal and conditional

• The ten types of friendships—and why understanding them matters

• A raw discussion on being loyal to yourself first before demanding it from others

💥 Notable Moments Include:

• The corporate “friend” story that left Oliver questioning if connection was ever real

• Luvon’s transparent reflection: “I don’t even know if I’ve ever really been my own friend.”

• The restaurant analogy that reframes friendship as service and preparation

• A tough question: Can friendship be one-sided—and if so, for how long?

📣 This episode is for you if:

• You’ve outgrown some friendships but feel guilty

• You’re trying to understand why certain relationships feel empty

• You want to build friendships rooted in loyalty, growth, and mutual peace
