Socializing can be great - it can help build connections, it helps you learn from different perspectives and it can help take your mind away from a bad day.
It can also be challenging, especially if you go through social anxiety because it can force you to face your imperfections. If you’re unable to be comfortable in your own skin, things can spiral downwards very quickly because people are bound to judge and attaching your self worth externally is never a great idea.
How do we work through this? We understand more in this episode with Pranav Varma.

- What social anxiety feels like and where it stems from.
- Pranav’s journey of dealing with social anxiety.
