If you care too much what other people think, you’re not insecure. Your brain is trying to keep you alive. Your nervous system is wired for belonging. For most of human history, rejection meant danger. So your brain constantly scans for approval. But here’s the problem. You’re overestimating how much people are actually thinking about you. It’s called the spotlight effect. Everyone is too busy thinking about themselves to analyze you the way you think they are. So when you catch yourself wondering what they think… Flip it. What do I think about me right now? That’s where your power is. You don’t stop caring what people think. You stop outsourcing your identity to them.
