The main Character Illusion

from Catching up with Phronesis · host Sobande oluwapelumi

Ever replayed something embarrassing in your head for days... only to realize nobody else even remembers it? We spend so much time worrying about what people think, forgetting that everyone is busy being the main character in their own story. In this episode of CUWP, we're talking about the Main Character Illusion, why we overestimate how much attention people pay to us, and how letting go of that pressure can be incredibly freeing. What's something you thought everyone noticed... but probably nobody did?
