Ever wonder why you rehearse conversations in the shower or lie awake remembering that weird laugh you did 3 years ago? In this episode, I'm diving deep into the psychology of insecurity - and yes, I definitely felt insecure while recording it.
Using my questionably obtained psychology knowledge and years of personal experience being anxious in public, I break down:
- Why your cave-person brain thinks a bad Instagram post means death
- How childhood turned us all into walking balls of anxiety (sorry, Mom!)
- The scientific reason you remember every criticism but forget compliments
- Why social media is basically insecurity on steroids
- Actually useful strategies for feeling like less of a fraud (tested on myself, results pending)
Look, I'm not a guru promising to transform you into an unshakeable confidence machine. I'm just a guy who spent way too much time studying psychology and learning why we're all so wonderfully messed up. Join me for an honest, research-backed, and occasionally hilarious look at why none of us feel good enough - and what we can actually do about it.
Fair warning: Side effects may include uncontrollable laughter, sudden self-awareness, and the realization that your insecurities are actually totally normal. You're welcome!
🎯 For anyone who's ever called their teacher "Mom," practiced a conversation that never happened, or pretended to text while walking alone.
