Do you spend too much time worrying about what other people think?

Approval seeking can lead to:
- people pleasing
- overthinking
- fear of judgement
- anxiety

Why do we care what people think? https://t.co/SJwed36bpX

[Dan Regan @Hypno_Dan]

One of the biggest myths about public speaking anxiety is that everyone can see how nervous you are - research suggests the opposite.

Most people notice less than you think, judge less than you expect & often can't tell you're anxious anyway

Ever worry about what other people think of you?
Psychologists call it the 'spotlight effect' – our tendency to overestimate how much attention other people pay to our appearance, behaviour and mistakes.
I've written more about the research here: https://t.co/D9DCwoq4nN

[Dan Regan @Hypno_Dan]

Many people with social anxiety look calm externally while internally overthinking everything.

Replaying conversations
Fear of judgement
Constant self-monitoring

These patterns can change.

Many people appear to be coping outwardly while internally feeling mentally exhausted, overwhelmed or unable to properly switch off.

Ely therapist on why so many people feel mentally exhausted right now https://t.co/egtBIzGLLE

[Dan Regan @Hypno_Dan]

Many people experiencing anxiety fear they are 'losing control'.

These fears can feel extremely convincing when anxiety is high - they are a common part of anxiety/panic patterns.

Anxiety coming back doesn’t mean you’re back to the start.

It usually means the same pattern has been triggered again.

Why do some thoughts stick?

Usually not the thought itself, but the attention it receives.

More attention = more persistence.

Fear of needles isn’t just about the needle.

It’s about the response your mind has learned over time.

Change the response → the experience changes.

Why do some thoughts feel harder to ignore?

Often it’s not the thought — it’s the response to it.

More attention = more persistence.

Social situations don’t always feel difficult - but they can feel draining.

Often this is about how the mind processes stimulation, not a lack of confidence.

Overthinking often shows up most in social situations - replaying conversations and worrying how you came across.
It’s not a lack of confidence, but a pattern of anxiety and self-focus: https://t.co/84vzyG9r6P
