Pasted from AI   In this episode of Mad Genius, host Ariel Kashanchi opens up about her experience of being ghosted by a man she knew was not right for her. Despite knowing that he was full of red flags and had previously ghosted her, Ariel admits to allowing him back into her life due to her own emotional struggles. She reflects on the need for validation and compliments, even if they are insincere, during difficult times. Ariel also discusses her intuition for identifying people who are ultimately not good for her, including her initial impressions of Meghan Markle and Justin Timberlake. Key Takeaways: Despite knowing that someone is not right for us, we may still seek validation and compliments from them during difficult times. High energy men often prioritize putting on a show and monitoring reactions rather than getting to know the person they are interested in. Ariel reflects on her initial impressions of Meghan Markle and Justin Timberlake, highlighting her intuition for identifying people who may not be genuine. Notable Quotes: "It's nice to have somebody compliment you and tell you they love you, even if it's completely insincere." - Ariel Kashanchi "High energy men are so deeply insecure that they do not want you to get to know the serpent inside them." - Ariel Kashanchi "I always thought Justin Timberlake was okay looking, but he had that popular guy in school vibe who thinks he's hot." - Ariel Kashanchi
