If you're a South Asian young professional (ages 22 to 35) attempting to navigate challenges around self-esteem, anxiety or relationships, I see and hear where you're coming from. Although you may view the world from a primarily western lens, you're probably still navigating life between two worlds. This can often involve trying to meet expectations you've internalized over many years along with managing feelings of shame, resentment & loneliness. In some cases, you may try to find relief from these difficult emotions by overusing social media, watching hours of entertainment, immersing yourself in work or using food as an escape.
