Taking Risks and Expressing Yourself at Work

The podcast episode discusses a listener who wanted to break out of their shell at work and be more outspoken. They decided to dress up in a Halloween costume, fully embodying the character of Legolas from Lord of the Rings. However, no one else at the office dressed up, and this made the listener feel alienated. They also mentioned wanting to be friends with a coworker they share common interests with. The advice given was to give it time and not to force a friendship. Instead, the suggestion was to follow the coworker on social media, find common events or activities to attend, and let the friendship develop naturally over time.
