364. You Think Everyone Is Judging You, But They Aren’t

You think everyone is watching you. You think they noticed the weird thing you said. You think they’re analyzing your silence or your laugh or that moment you stumbled over your words. Then you replay it like it’s your job. Why can’t you stop?! You’re overthinking because your brain is running an old program from a time when belonging was survival. You’re not the problem. The wiring is the problem. So today you’re going to learn why your brain assumes people are thinking about you when they aren’t, what the research says about this spotlight you feel trapped under, and the three tools you can use to shut down the spiral so you can walk into any room steady and grounded.
