The spotlight effect
![The Spotlight Effect illustration: two individuals greet one another, each illuminated by an intense spotlight as if on stage - and each secretly worry about how the other perceives their appearance.](https://images.prismic.io/sketchplanations/55eae519-e2de-4c88-94f6-61a6df3d683b_174722980811.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=max&w=3840&q=50)
I like this one because it basically shows that most of us can just relax a bit and not stress about what other people think — because they’re probably not thinking about us, they’re probably thinking about themselves.
I probably only remember it because of the effect effect.
