Fascinating Article on the "Spotlight Effect"

I came across this article recently and found it very interesting:

" The Cure for Self-Consciousness"

I particularly like this part:
" Our distorted perceptions mean we not only exaggerate the impact of our errors but also undersell our inspirations and contributions."
And the bit under it about mumbling.

Hmm. My husband often accuses me of mumbling. I had thought maybe he was a little hearing-impaired, but now I wonder if the "spotlight effect" might have something to do with it.
