I’ll Prove To You In 5 MINUTES That NO ONE CARES: The Spotlight Effect

😳 What do you do when you walk into a room, trip up on the street or try something new? You think that ALL eyes are on you. That, as if it’s magic, everyone within a 5-mile radius instantly turns their head to watch your embarrassment, or just acknowledge your presence.

🤷‍♀️ Well - that’s not the case. Psychologists have researched this tendency and labelled it ‘The Spotlight Effect’ - the phenomenon in which humans overestimate how much they’re actually being noticed.

🙃 So, take courage in that NO ONE CARES - everyone’s too busy thinking that the world are watching them to even remember to worry about you. Start the ‘thing’, do the ‘thing’, even stop the ‘thing’ if required - because ultimately, no one will care whether you do or don’t.
