Uncovering the Spotlight Effect
The podcast delves into the concept of the spotlight effect, highlighting how individuals tend to believe everything revolves around them. Whether it's a simple act like spilling sauce on clothes or feeling self-conscious at the gym, people often think others are judging them.
