Caroline Smith founded her business, The Introverted Misfit, to help shy, awkward introverts become socially confident versions of themselves so they can have healthy, manageable social lives.
Because of her experience with being autistic, which was the source of many social difficulties and major social anxiety for her, she knows what it's like to build self-acceptance, self-improvement, and a life that works for individualized needs.
Now Caroline helps fellow introverts (whether they are autistic or not) learn how to connect with others, create fruitful relationships, and have a manageable social life – without acting like someone they're not!
During this episode, you will hear Caroline talk about:
- When she realized that she was autistic
- Her experience dealing with social anxiety
- Why she decided to help people become more socially confident
- The role of self-acceptance in making new friends and connections
- Her advice for autistic people who struggle with social cues
- Why it’s important not to hyperfocus on your own social mistakes
- The importance of having coping mechanisms for overwhelming social situations
- How her “Misfit Meetups” bring people together to socialize in a low-pressure, fun environment
