These revelations about Meghan's social circle were explored in a commentary featured in The Telegraph. The article delved into the financially-driven relationships that appear to define her Emotional Support Bubble (ESB), a term used to describe the support network she has built around herself.
As the author pointed out, having an Emotional Support Bubble (ESB) isn't exclusive to the rich, famous, or those who are exceptionally self-absorbed. It's essentially a group of individuals who have organically become part of your support network over time, often without knowing each other or anyone else in your life.
This diverse network could encompass your hairdresser, yoga instructor, personal trainer, handyman, cleaner, leg waxer, or even the owner of the local deli. What unites them is that you pay them for their services, and in return, they are expected to be attentive, patient, and perpetually interested, in a way that may differ from the expectations of conventional friendships. This is precisely why there's been some skepticism surrounding Meghan's recent birthday celebrations.
However, the reality, as the author elucidates, is more intricate and surprising. These individuals, whose services we engage, are skilled in listening and interpreting our needs. They often possess an intimate knowledge of our lives, yet the beauty of their roles lies in their discretion—they will never share our personal information with others. We place our trust in them, whether it's to trim our hair just right, prevent an Achilles injury during exercise, or carry out home renovations while we're away, all while managing our finances discreetly.
In essence, Meghan's inner circle, although primarily compensated for their services, play unique roles in her life, offering a level of trust and support that goes beyond the transactional nature of their relationships.
