Making friends as an adult is hard enough — and when you add anxiety into the mix? It can feel near impossible. In this honest episode, we unpack the reality of trying to connect with others when you're dealing with overthinking, self-doubt, fear of rejection, and the awkwardness of putting yourself out there.

Whether you’re feeling lonely, struggling to meet like-minded people, or wondering if you're the only one who finds socialising this difficult — this one's for you.

We talk about social anxiety, adult friendship struggles, how to move through the discomfort, and why you’re not the problem (even if your brain is trying to convince you otherwise).

👯‍♀️ If friendship feels overwhelming, know that you're not alone — and you're not broken.

🎧 Hit follow for more real conversations around anxiety, low self-esteem, overthinking, and coping when life feels like too much.
