78 | The Hidden Cost of Social Anxiety for High-Achieving Teen Girls

Ever notice how the girls who look the most put-together are sometimes the ones overthinking the most? You get good grades. You show up for practice. You handle your responsibilities. From the outside, people assume you’re confident. But inside your head? Every conversation turns into a mental replay. “Did that sound weird?” “Was that joke awkward?” “Do they actually like me… or are they just being nice?” If you’re a high-achieving Christian teen girl who struggles with social anxiety and overthinking friendships, this episode is for you. You care deeply about doing things right. You want people to like you. You want to come across as normal, funny, and confident. But when anxiety gets involved, your brain starts treating every social interaction like a performance review. Today, we’re unpacking the hidden cost of social anxiety for high-achieving teen girls — and why girls who look the most confident on the outside are often the ones questioning themselves the most inside. Because once you understand what’s happening in your brain, the whole experience starts to make a lot more sense. xo, Kristen Next Steps 📅 Register for the FREE Social Anxiety Cheat Code March 23 @ 7:00pm CST anxiouschristianteen.com/cheatcode 🎧 Be sure to follow or subscribe so you don’t miss anything!
