In this episode of Sensitive Change Makers, we tackle a topic that hits close to home for many of us: social awkwardness. Often confused with antisocial behaviour or mere introversion, social awkwardness has its own nuances, especially for those of us who are highly sensitive.

Join me as I unpack the clinical definition of antisocial personality disorder and contrast it with the everyday use of the term 'antisocial.' I share my personal experiences and reflections on how being highly sensitive and introverted shapes social interactions. 

I delve into the characteristics of social awkwardness in highly sensitive people, offering a compassionate look at how overstimulation, heightened emotional responses, and a deep need for downtime can influence social behaviour.

I also explore practical tips to balance solitude with meaningful social connections. Whether it's planning downtime, practicing mindfulness, or gradually exposing yourself to social situations, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you navigate your social world more comfortably.

Tune in to learn:

• The difference between antisocial behaviour and being introverted or socially awkward.
• Why highly sensitive people may feel socially awkward and how to manage it.
• Practical strategies to balance your need for solitude with the benefits of social interactions.
• Kate's personal journey and tips for thriving as a highly sensitive introvert in social settings.
