F*** The Small Talk

F*** the Small Talk –
Let’s skip the surface and get real.
This group is for anyone — locals, expats, digital nomads, wanderers, seekers — up to their 50s, from any background or nationality, who are craving real connection in an increasingly curated, disconnected, and anxiety-driven world.

We’re living through a time of global instability — war, political division, economic pressure — and it's affecting all of us, whether we talk about it or not.

We’re here to talk about the real stuff:

• The loneliness no one posts about
• The pressure to “have it together”
• The burnout, shame, and self-doubt
• The search for meaning
• The tiny joys and heavy truths of being human in 2025

There’s no judgment, no fixing, and no pretending.
Just space — to be seen, heard, and maybe even surprised by how much we all carry and how much we all need each other.

Everyone is welcome here.
All sexual orientations, races, nationalities, genders, and life paths. If you're kind, respectful, and open — you're in.
If you have a problem with that, this group isn’t for you.
We don’t tolerate judgment, hate, or superiority. Period.

Who is this for?

• You feel like everyone’s faking it and you’re tired of faking it too
• You want to meet people willing to go beneath the surface
• You want to talk about what’s actually going on — mentally, emotionally, spiritually
• You believe in vulnerability, depth, and presence over performance

This isn’t therapy. It’s not a pity party.
It’s a place to come as you are — messy, uncertain, alive.

Meetups may include guided prompts, open discussions, storytelling circles, or simple conversation in safe, warm settings around Ericeira.
