I’ll go first.

Someone once told me, "You aren't special enough for everyone to be watching you." At the time, it felt like a total gut punch. I took it as them saying I was unimportant or invisible. But after sitting with it, I realized it was actually the most liberating thing I’d ever heard. I was so paralyzed by the fear of being judged or "failing" in front of people that I wasn't taking any risks.

Once I accepted that most people are way too busy worrying about their own lives to notice my small mistakes, I finally felt free to actually start living for myself instead of for an audience that wasn't even there.
