Manage episode 503544821 series 3464669
Can self‑awareness be a liability? Dan explores how heightened sensitivity to social dynamics can drain your energy and isolate you.

Learn how to carry your depth without shrinking yourself, and why the answer isn’t less awareness, but better boundaries.
Episode highlights:
- The cost of reading micro‑expressions and holding emotional labour for every room.
