Does the idea of a networking event make your stomach do backflips while your friends seem to thrive in the chaos? 

In this season finale of But Are You Happy, host Ashani Dante and clinical psychologist Dr. Anastasia Hronis pull back the curtain on our social personalities. We’re moving beyond the simple labels to find out where you actually sit on the spectrum and why "summer social season" can feel so different for everyone.

You'll also learn: 

• The five major personality traits and how extroversion fits in
• Why the "chaotic middle" might be exactly where you land
• The clinical red flags to look out for
• Why walking a banana on a leash (yes, really) is a legitimate way to overcome the fear of being judged
