Yes, sometimes it’s the spotlight effect or the illusion of transparency, but there’s also many other reasons ignored or not explored. Take this big one, for example: Toxic personalities that watch every move you make waiting to belittle, condemn, or pass on gossip that destroys people’s emotional and real lives, and then triggers the good ole brain to protect you, and suddenly you are hyperconscious of how your tiniest of mistakes will get blown out of proportion. I speak as one who helps mentor the too-many people suffering from Narcissistic abuse syndrome. It has nothing to do with caring about what people think (if it did, I’d not be replying in this manner,) and everything to do with both how people react, their false accusations, and selfish, manipulative intentions to use others as entertainment fodder, amongst other things. Once educated, and it often takes years of concentrated education, it becomes easier to discern whose attention to avoid and why. The why matters.
