What others think of me is none of my business.
Last week, I wrote about my confidence problem. It connects to not only how I view success or failure but also how I view the way others perceive my success or failure.
As thinking, feeling, and all-too-often worrying human beings, we have a tendency to overemphasize or overestimate how much others are perceiving us –?our behaviors, attributes, appearance, wins, or losses. And with that, we tend to place a disproportionately high value on that perception.
It’s called the Spotlight Effect.?

10 个月I don't think I got to this place until I worked for an organization that was so focused on feedback that I started feeling like everything I did was under a spotlight and became scared to be myself. Do you think this is more a natural phenomenon or a result of being analyzed, scrutinized, and given feedback based on others perceptions?
