Episode 2751: Many people are quietly struggling with social anxiety, and it may be showing up in our everyday manners. Dr. Margaret Rutherford explores how our increasing reliance on screens and hesitation to commit to social events can leave us isolated, and offers a simple exercise to challenge avoidance and build confidence. Her reflections invite us to face discomfort with honesty and take small steps toward connection. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://drmargaretrutherford.com/are-we-losing-our-manners-how-to-confront-social-anxiety/ Quotes to ponder: "Not responding, not committing is a choice." "If you stay uncommitted, silent, you’re actually committed to hiding." "Everyone else has their own insecurity. Everyone."
