The Spotlight Effect explains why we feel that there is a spotlight shining on us in public and social situations.
 
This has negative consequences in our lives:
  • Pre-conditioned fear of placing yourself in “spotlight situations” means you shrink yourself down.
  • Self-consciousness can manifest as self-centeredness.
  • Avoidance of doing what makes you happy due to fear of judgment.
