Spotlight Effect and Anxiety in ADHD
The spotlight effect can cause individuals with ADHD to feel as though they are constantly being observed and judged by others, leading to heightened anxiety and hyper fixation on their perceived mistakes and shortcomings. This belief can hinder personal progress, as it fosters a fear of imperfection and an overwhelming need for approval.
