Feeling Alone While Growing Up
The podcast episode discusses the speaker's experience of feeling alone growing up, despite being an extroverted person. The speaker attributes this sense of loneliness to their cultural and religious upbringing, which differed from that of their friends. They were often unable to participate in activities common amongst their peers, which led to difficulties in deep connections and a feeling of not fully belonging. However, the speaker found solace and connection in bonding over gaming with people online.
