Afraid of What Others Think?

Afraid of what others will think if you fail?

Cornell University created the term “the spotlight effect” to describe a common psychological phenomenon: we tend to overestimate how much others notice or judge our appearance, actions, or results.

The reality? Most people are too busy thinking about themselves to focus on you. While we imagine everyone is watching and judging, they’re usually not. And even if they are, they quickly move on.

In short: no one cares as much as you think—whether you’re winning or failing.

So don’t let fear hold you back. Go for it.
