2021.08.23常春藤生活雜誌 《聚光燈效應 DAY1》 《練習本篇口語朗讀》
你在看我嗎?
你可否曾在夜深人靜時輾轉難眠,然後突然間莫名地想起好幾年前做的一件蠢事、出糗、穿一件突兀的服裝等尷尬回憶呢?人類大腦運作的機制真的很神奇,這些對他人而言根本是枝微末節的小插曲,對我們來說可能會成為永遠難以磨滅的尷尬經驗。而經過本文對於聚光燈效應的介紹,相信各位也對於這個現象有了更進一步了解。我們會放大檢視自己的一舉一動,而也因為這樣子,我們會因為過於自覺而感到突兀、不好意思,但事實上,他人根本沒有我們想像中的在意自己,就算是真的注意到了我們出糗,也許過了一會、一天也就被他們的腦海淡忘。因此,如果有讀者是健身房新手,下次到健身房時就好好專心建身,別擔心大家是否都在看著你吧~
