Socializing and making friends in general comes a bit easier to Raheel and she shares why creating connections with people is and can be a natural thing. Areej relies on natural social networks which can be helpful. Although it would be nice to strike up conversation without an irrational fear of getting a nasty look and that person running fast in the opposite direction!
