David Boyle's Hilarious Take on Baby Showers and Social Anxiety

To be honest with you, I need to find ways of, if not having fun or fake fun, at minimum not drag everyone down with me, because I feel like I'm sending off some bad vibes.

Struggling with social anxiety, he admits that mingling in these settings isn't his forte, especially now that he's sober. With his trademark wit, Boyle delves into the nuances of trying to fit in without the social lubricant of alcohol.
He jokes about the absurdity of baby shower games and the pressure to appear engaged and enthusiastic.

No longer able to rely on booze to ease his nerves, he faces the challenge of genuinely connecting with others. This episode is a relatable and laugh-out-loud exploration of navigating social events while staying true to oneself.
Perfect for anyone who’s ever felt like a fish out of water at a party, Boyle's candid reflections offer both humor and heartfelt insight.
