If you suffer from social anxiety, you might think that the old money, high society types you see effortlessly navigayting cocktail parties were simply born with a socializing superpower, or that they learned it in boarding school, and that it's too late for you, but that's not true. In this calming yet cheeky episode of Awkward Etiquette with Kiki Astor, Kiki turns her velvet gloves toward a topic near and dear to many hearts: social anxiety. Whether you freeze at cocktail parties, overthink every interaction, or find yourself replaying conversations in bed at night, this episode is your invitation to breathe, settle in with something fizzy or soothing, and reclaim your social confidence—the elegant way.

Kiki reveals her favorite etiquette-based social skills hacks designed for introverts, overthinkers, and those who never know what to do with their hands. You'll learn how classic etiquette tricks—like the art of introductions, small talk that isn't painful, and exiting a conversation gracefully—aren't about perfection, but about making others feel comfortable, which (spoiler alert) helps you feel more at ease too.

From how to glide through a room without breaking a sweat to using etiquette as armor in awkward social situations, Kiki shows that even the most anxious among us can master the social graces of high society—without faking a thing.

Perfect for: Anyone looking for social anxiety tips, introvert-friendly social strategies, and a little old-school etiquette wisdom with a wink.
