am i alone in being completely unable to rewatch anything i'm on video doing? i've never watched a talk or podcast i've done and i absolutely have tried. i can't get 12 seconds into listening to my own voice

Definitely not alone- it’s a universal feeling. fwiw i think you are great speaking/on video 😁

thank you!! 💙 i hesitate to even RT podcasts I'm in cuz they're usually posted weeks after i did them and I'm like "did i say anything dumb in this one? i can't remember"

2 main things have helped me over the years: “When something is painful do it more often” is my go to mantra in life (I hated public speaking so much but kept forcing myself to do it more and more, still not easy but less painful) No one is paying as much attention to you as you think they are 💜💜

RT them all!! I promise the long term benefits you get from sharing your voice will far outweigh your temporary discomfort. We are always our harshest critic. What you think is dumb probably isn’t. And also every person I’ve ever respected has said dumb things.
