Can self‑awareness be a liability? Dan explores how heightened sensitivity to social dynamics can drain your energy and isolate you. True self‑awareness isn’t a badge of enlightenment; it’s a constant vigil that makes everyday interactions exhausting. 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.
- Why small talk feels impossible once you see people’s scripts.
- How to protect your awareness with practice solitude and bigger truths.
