S1 EP31 Socializing in Your 30s
from The Adults' Table · host Fernanda Rodrigues
Do you really hate socializing—or do you just hate certain kinds of socializing? In this episode of The Adult’s Table, I unpack my love/hate relationship with being around people. As someone who often feels pressure to “be more social,” I share what it’s like to navigate friendships, connection, and introversion as an adult, especially after moving countries and hitting my 30s.We’ll talk about why socializing feels draining sometimes, how to tell the difference between not liking people vs. not liking certain settings, and how to redefine what friendship and connection look like for you. If you’ve ever thought “I hate socializing” (or felt guilty for not wanting to go out), this conversation is for you.✨ If you’re introverted, I want to hear your perspective. If you’re extroverted, help us understand your side too. Leave a comment with your experience – I’d love to know how you navigate socializing.🔔 Subscribe for honest conversations about adulthood, choices, and self-growth🎙 Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/theadultstableshow/https://www.tiktok.com/@theadultstableshowMerchhttps://theadultstableshow.printful.me/Newsletterhttps://thefernandarodrigues.substack.com/
