The Spotlight Effect - You Are Not Important (In a Good Way!)

Ever walk into a room and feel like everyone is staring at you? That zit, that outfit, that weird thing you just said…..yep, everyone noticed… right? Wrong. In this episode of Mic & Mind, we’re diving into the Spotlight Effect, a sneaky little psychological trick that convinces us we’re the center of the universe. Spoiler alert: we’re not. From awkward encounters to overthinking social slip-ups, we’ll unpack why our brains love making us feel like we’re onstage—and how to shut that internal spotlight off for good. It’s funny, it’s freeing, and it might just make you feel a whole lot lighter.
