Having spent 17 years leading men’s groups and listening to thousands of guys talk about anxiety, I’ve learned that social anxiety doesn’t discriminate — it hits confident guys, introverts, leaders, and everyday men alike. The key is knowing how to navigate it when it shows up. Whether it’s breathing, working the edges of the room, or finding one safe connection, the tools I share are based on what actually works. If you ever feel overwhelmed in social settings or you avoid events because of anxiety, this video is for you. It’s not expert advice — just a personal story of me applying the wisdom I absorbed from men’s groups around feeling socially anxious that might help you feel less alone in your own experience.
