About this episode

This episode discusses the misconception of being judged by others and the freedom that comes from realizing most people are focused on their own lives.

Ever feel like everyone is watching you… judging your parenting, your choices, your life? Yeah—same. But what if that’s not actually true? In this episode, we talk about the strange (and freeing) reality that most people aren’t nearly as focused on you as you think they are. In fact, studies show people are so wrapped up in their own lives, they barely notice what anyone else is doing. We unpack why we feel judged in the first place, how social media has made it worse, and what happens when you finally let go of the pressure to perform for everyone else. Turns out, the spotlight you think you’re standing in… might not even be on. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
