🤝 Interactions with Others: Seb's interactions have transformed from anxiety-driven to light-hearted, friendly, and playful. While he still has his moments and challenges, others are not perceived as intimidating or superior.

💙 Self-Perception: Seb shares about embracing flaws and imperfections, allowing to let go of unrealistic expectations and self-judgment. He developed self-acceptance, respect, and self-compassion.
