## Resource

Sean Penn skipped the Oscars not for glory, but to protect his mental health—his social anxiety makes big crowds unbearable, even with a Best Supporting Actor win under his belt. After a rough Golden Globes experience, he’s now committed to gatherings of eight or fewer, calling selfies “soul-suckers” that strip away genuine connection. He even enjoyed the ceremony from home, finding peace in solitude over the spotlight. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
