Being an Introvert at IIT, Social Anxiety, and Toxic Productivity with @Sankhokun

Hey guys! In this video I interview Sankho Kun on being an introvert at IIT, Social Anxiety, and the meaning of Art. I had such a wonderful time speaking with him, hearing his perspective on life, the meaning behind his creative endeavors, how he finds an outlet, and how to find meaning as a student outside of the class room.

studied for 6 hrs this morning. One sitting. Played videogames for 20 minutes afterward. Got yelled at. It is tough as a 12th grader I must say.

this is not the Collab we deserved
but the Collab we needed.

Trying to 'fit in' or being an introvert is not a negative personality trait. Learning to befriend solitude and accepting yourself are one of the mots vital and hard lessons in everyone's life. Almost all people learn it the hard way but once you do then you're always at peace with yourself. 🕊️

yo no way two of my favourite creators together this is unbelievable nice one shaurya & sankho!

[harshita]

Shaurya don't be shy, put the pasta video up already!

[usmanmir]

These interviews are extremely helpful in my opinion. They really give a multi-dimensional exposure to life at these institutions, so that we know they aren’t these magical places some of us expect them to be. Keep making these! Also good luck for Stanny!

[anikakulshreshtha]

Sankho is the epitome of being self driven.
This has really touched me. He is so ambitious and this video inspires me. I don't mean this as a platitude.
Best interview I've watched this year. Shaurya you are really great at
I have immense appreciation for both of you.

[tejasdeepsingh]

Shaurya, it's my dream to be interviewed by you someday
Let's hope I make myself worthy enough for it ;)
Keep up the awesome work, you're a inspiration and I want to be like you (and proud to say I am working towards my goal!)

[yashrathi]
