#28 - How to Keep Up Socially Without Losing Yourself

What does it really mean to "keep up socially" - and when does it start costing you your health, character, and sense of self?In this episode, we unpack the pressure to stay relevant in your social circles, whether that's through sport, gaming, drinking, habits, or the conversations your group constantly revolves around. The deeper question isn't just how to fit in - it's how to stay connected without slowly becoming someone you're not.This conversation explores social influence, loneliness, identity, and the quiet ways environments shape your habits over time. From feeling left out when you can't relate, to recognising when group culture no longer aligns with your values, this episode is about learning to step back, reflect, and choose what actually matters to you.If you've ever felt torn between belonging and becoming who you really want to be, this one's for you.
