Worried About What People Will Think About You?

A short monologue arguing that people are primarily self-focused and overly worried about their own appearance—illustrated by pandemic-era Zoom anecdotes where participants watched their own video feed rather than others—and that, despite this worry, others are usually not actually thinking about you.

Nobody gives a shit. They care about themselves. Think about this. During the pandemic, everybody would show up to zooms because that's all you got in during the pandemic. And people would come and zoom. Like, dressed up. They were like, you know, they got their hair done. They got the shit. Eventually deteriorated from there. But in the beginning, yeah, everybody was hype. Coming into the zooms. And I'll be like, somebody could ask that person, hey, do you remember what Kenya was wearing? Do you remember what Neil was wearing on Zoom? They'd be like, oh, shit. I don't know the reason why you were looking at your own zoom box the entire time. You were just looking at yourself because you're like, yo, I'm concerned. Look, I look good, I look bad. That's all people care about is themselves. People are so worried about what other people think. I guarantee you, nobody's thinking about it.
