Hey guys, well just before I continue about the self and self esteem.
I would like to share with you guys about the spotlight effect.
Ever had a bad hair day or finding our that you had forgotten about your jean's zippers? Well practically almost everybody have experienced a similiar experience.
In fact, in this kind of situation many of us will be conscious of ourselves even more. Thinking and worrying that everyone has saw what's underneath our zippers or our spikey out of bed hair.
However, as humans it is only normal to commit this spot light effect as we are worried about our self presentation and the impression we leave.
The truth is out of 40 people in a class, less than 10 will take notice of what is actually happening!!
Amazingly, I've tried this and yeah it seems that people are less aware of our mistakes and bloopers than whay we assume them to be.
That isn't me anyway!
So next time, when you found out that you have forgotten about your zippers, fret not! Not as many people as you think had saw what lies underneath!
A very interesting post.
ReplyDeleteThis will keep me less conscious after a buffet dinner next time!
Can't wait to see what is your next entry about!
Keep up your good work, favorite student!
