More young adults struggle to socialize, rising trend in social anxiety is also observed. This was exacerbated by the COVID-19 lockdown period when social interaction was minimized. Albeit there is a wide range of information on how to socialize, there is a lack of perspectives on how to navigate social interactions beyond just being more extroverted. To encourage young adults to navigate social situations comfortably in their own way, this project aims to create an accessible multi-faceted guide to engage young adults to reflect, learn, and provide opportunities to practice diverse ways to deal with social situations. This project hopes to encourage them to be more comfortable in social situations and help reduce the sense of social apprehension. Design Art - Visual Communication
