TV for Corporate Girlies, Sex, and Making Friends

Thinking about quitting vaping but scared given the state of the world? Feeling unmotivated at work? Not sure if you should dump your boyfriend? Lucky for you, Steven is here to help. Every week our brand account manager/in-house movie expert/life-advice columnist will answer anonymous questions from shelf users right here in “Dear Steven!” Buckle in folks…this one’s gonna be fun.

After a long day of corporate nonsense, you need a show that’ll have you cackling like you’ve just quit via email.

1. Smiling Friends – This one’s pure chaotic hilarity. It’s weird, dark, and absurd in the best way. Think existential dread but funny. Perfect for when you’re feeling a little unhinged after dealing with coworkers who say “per my last email.”

2. The Other Two – A must-watch. Sibling pettiness, showbiz satire, and that perfect blend of heart and ridiculousness. You’ll relate hard to Brooke and Cary struggling to keep it together, just like you trying to survive corporate life with grace (or not).

3. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt – Pure serotonin. Kimmy’s and Titus will have you howling with every line. It’s like a quirky hug for your tired, overworked soul.

1. No one cares, and neither should you

I know it feels like everyone around you is having wild sex, but the truth is, most people are way too wrapped up in their own lives to care about your V-card status. Seriously. The ones who do care or make you feel bad? They’re just trying to distract from their own insecurities. That’s not a “you” problem, that’s a “them” problem.

2. Sex is not a milestone—your timeline is valid

There’s no universal timeline for sex. Some people have sex early, some wait, some don’t care about it much at all—and all of that is okay. Society likes to make sex seem like this “rite of passage,” but spoiler: it’s not that deep. You’re not missing out on some magical moment that’s going to unlock a new version of yourself. You’ll get there when you’re ready, and when you do, it’ll be on your terms.

3. Focus on confidence and self-worth

Your value doesn’t come from whether or not you’ve had sex. It comes from how you treat yourself and others. Build confidence by doing things that make you feel good and powerful. When you feel solid in yourself, you’ll stop worrying about this stuff. The right moment will come naturally, and until then, focus on being the best, baddest version of you.

Girl, I got you! Making new friends can feel like a whole-ass mission, but it’s really all about putting yourself out there in a way that feels natural to you. Here’s the tea:

1. Do what you love, but make it social – You’re not gonna vibe with people by sitting at home scrolling TikTok (I say that as I scroll TikTok). Find events, hobby groups, or places where people with similar interests gather. Like, love baking? Sign up for a class. Obsessed with Drag Race? Go to a viewing party!

2. Use your mutuals – Don’t sleep on your existing network. Ask your friends if they know people you might click with and hit them up for an intro. It’s basically social networking IRL.

3. Say yes (within reason) – Opportunities to meet new people pop up when you least expect them. Say yes to that random invite even if your social anxiety is trying to sabotage you. Worst case? You leave early. Best case? You meet your new ride-or-die.

4. Be yourself – Yeah, cliché, but trust me on this. No one wants the curated, overthinking version of you. Be awkward, funny, extra—whatever makes you, you. The right people will vibe with that energy.

And remember, it’s a numbers game. You won’t connect with every person you meet, and that’s okay. The real ones will find you. Now go out there and slay the social scene!
