There are experiences that quietly shape the way we enter a room, greet a new person, or take up space. Moments from childhood, subtle dismissals, unspoken expectations, or years of guarding ourselves can leave an imprint on how we show up socially. For many, being around others becomes less about connection and more about managing discomfort. The heart wants to participate, but the mind begins to map every move, every sentence, every expression. Social anxiety grows here, not out of weakness, but out of an old instinct to stay safe.
This final chapter of The Self-Esteem Trilogy turns toward this very place the space where your inner world and the outer world meet. Social self-esteem is not confidence in the loud, glossy sense of the word. It is the quiet readiness to be yourself even when others are watching. It is the ability to breathe naturally in conversations, to speak without rehearsing, to rest inside your own presence rather than monitor it. It is the shift from “How am I being seen?” to “Can I simply be here?”
In this session, Akanksha creates a gentle environment where you can explore your relationship with visibility at your own pace. Instead of analysing the fear, we look at the spaces where it began. Instead of pushing toward comfort, we learn how comfort grows. Together, we explore things like
How do you treat yourself when attention comes your way
What makes your body tense in social settings
What helps you feel grounded enough to stay present instead of retreating inward
On December 23rd, 2025 at 6:00 PM (online), you are invited to an evening that is honest, spacious, and deeply human. You don’t have to be outgoing. You don’t have to be “ready.” You only need to be curious about what life could feel like when social moments stop feeling like tests and start feeling like connection.
Come with your stories or with none at all. Leave with a sense of steadiness that doesn’t rely on approval, and with practices that help your nervous system relax into being seen.
