On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

• You're a PhD student who befriended a peculiar new colleague with a penchant for authoritarianism, homophobia, and ballet. He's confiding increasingly concerning political views, showing up in clouds of cologne, and taking you on what might be accidental dates. Can you guide him toward compassionate self-acceptance, or is this a lost cause?
• Your neighbors are living like chaos incarnate — their yard's a tribute to entropy, their unmuffled car sounds like a dragon with indigestion, and there might be a whole rat civilization developing under their porch. The police can't help, and your three-year-old keeps getting woken up. What's your next move?
• 20 years ago, your alcoholic father's infidelity led to your mother's tragic end. Now he's remarried to someone younger than you, and you're caught in an exhausting cycle of guilt, obligation, and resentment. Is it time to break free from this emotional tornado?
• Recommendation of the Week: Mixbook
• You're a teenage tech prodigy who landed a dream gig with a Forbes 30-Under-30 founder and a popular YouTuber. But four months after delivering stellar work, they've gone radio silent. The prototype's gathering dust, meetings keep getting canceled, and your professional relationships are hanging in the balance. How do you light a fire under success?
