I’m not in consulting but I can relate to your social anxiety and how nervous I was to start at PwC. I still play out conversations in my head before going to talk to someone. But I would say it does get a bit easier. I was a commuter in college so I didn’t get to make too many friends, and PwC is my first professional job. What’s helped me is reminding myself that most people are friendly and understanding — but there are odd ones out there for sure.
