Good evening, everybody. How are y'all doing? Welcome to the show. Got a great show plan for you.

I say that every night, but I think that every night. All humility aside, you know what I'm talking about?

So anyway, this next topic we're going to talk about tonight. This one's been percolating in my mind for a while.

It's about social anxiety. I think it's something that's pretty common.

I'm sure there's some people that are like, nope, never have it, feel great about it, feel what feel, feel desired, feel accepted, feel confident, my ability to participate be who I am.

It's quite fascinating. I was away last week or the week before. I don't even know a place and time

anymore. I was traveling. And it was interesting

because, well, let me, let me backtrack. So I was having a conversation with someone that I had just

met and they were saying to me, you know, because of the work you do, do you analyze people,

which it's somewhat of a stereotype. And the answer is yes and no.

So think about if you were a interior designer or a dentist or a dermatologist or a stylist or a

hairstylist or barber or even a songwriter, you know, you're not necessarily judging

everyone's haircut and, and their, you know, dental hygiene and their skincare routine and what they're

wearing. But at the same time, you kind of are, you do notice those things. You might as an interior

designer or an interior architect walk into someone's home or into a public building

and think, well, that is horribly done in terms of color story or, you know, the furniture

set up in a way that really blocks the ability to utilize the room and the flow of the room.

You're going to notice that maybe someone's fade isn't as tight and excuse me or that their you know die job isn't as

great as you would have done or you know things like that so you know it's a little bit of

both so yeah as a you know mental health professional do I walk around

diagnosing people no I'm actually not someone who participates in diagnoses we've

talked a little bit about that. But I do pay attention
