Episode notes
Social Anxiety and Differentiation
- Social anxiety stems from a desire for love and belonging, but it comes at the cost of authenticity.
- Human Design encourages differentiation, which involves standing out, despite societal pressure for conformity.
Embrace Discomfort
- Embrace discomfort and walk through the fire of social situations, rather than seeking guarantees or trying to avoid it.
- This approach allows for valuable lessons, data, and ego death, which are essential for growth.
Kindness to Self
- Social anxiety often arises from a genuine desire to connect, but can be influenced by ego's need for validation.
- Be kind to yourself as the ego's influence diminishes, recognizing that people-pleasing or performing behaviors likely have roots in childhood experiences.
