As a data scientist, I love digging into complex problems and finding insights. But when it comes to presenting those findings, I get nervous. Like, really nervous. Since going fully remote, I’ve noticed my social anxiety has worsened. I think it’s because I’m missing out on those casual, day-to-day interactions that help build confidence. Now, when I do have to present, it feels like the pressure is higher. Imposter syndrome starts to creep in, and I worry that I’m not keeping up with the ever-evolving tech landscape.
I’m not alone, right? Has anyone else struggled with social anxiety as a remote data scientist? How do you cope with the pressure of presenting your work? Do you have any tips for making communication feel less overwhelming?
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one struggling with this. Let’s support each other and find ways to make remote work more manageable for our mental health.
