Newsflash: No One Is Paying That Much Attention To You After All

You might be surprised to learn that everyone else is thinking the same thing you’re thinking.

They are thinking all eyes, including yours, are on them. They are thinking you are talking about them. They are thinking that you are scrutinizing everything about them. Are you surprised to learn that?

What we have not heretofore known is that most individuals are too busy worrying about how they look to us to pay much attention to how we look. In other words, they are just as worried about what you are thinking about them as you are about what they are thinking about you.

keep-calm-cause-its-all-about-meIf you are finding this concept hard to believe, here is an example of how it works. Have you ever begun telling someone the details about something exciting that has happened to you and before you know it, the other person has somehow managed to change the topic of conversation to themselves and their latest exciting news? Start to pay attention to this phenomenon. It can be a very rude awakening to find out that others don’t really pay a whole lot of attention to what happens to you, and if the truth be known, many could care less. This isn’t to say that people don’t care. It just means that others are not focused on your life in the way you might think they are. It means that each one of us is the center of our own universe, not someone else’s.

All of this simply means they are not focused on you the way you might think they are. Once you actually understand this phenomenon, you will begin to relax.
