In this episode of Easy Stories in English, host Ariel Goodbody discusses the concept of 'normal people problems' as opposed to more serious issues, drawing on his own experiences of moving to London and finding his community. Ariel reflects on his challenging past, including changing gender twice and dealing with identity crisis, while contrasting these with his current 'normal' problems such as itchy back due to hard water, adjusting to a slower pace in relationships, and struggling to find good cider in London. He also addresses the dynamics of friendship when one is thriving and the other is not, and invites listeners to share their own 'small fish' problems on the show's website and YouTube channel.

So what are normal people problems?
Well, if you've been listening to the podcast for a while, then you'll know that I am a very normal, average, run of the mill, typical person.
Yeah, nothing strange about me.
Nothing unusual.
I talk normally, I act normally.
I am just a heterosexual male.
I'm married.
I have children.
I love watching football.
Okay.
I can't keep going, obviously, you know that that's not the truth.
I am a bit different, let's say.
Now, in the past, I used to think of myself as very weird.
But since moving to London, I've been embracing the fact that maybe I'm not so weird.
I'm just interesting.
Before, I lived in the countryside, and there I was weird.
