YSK: Most people dramatically overestimate how much other people notice them
Psychologists call this the “Spotlight Effect.”
When you make an embarrassing mistake, wear an unusual outfit, or say something awkward, it feels like everyone notices.
In reality, most people are too busy thinking about themselves to pay much attention.
WHY YSK: This can help reduce social anxiety and make it easier to try new things without worrying so much about being judged.
