A short YouTube monologue by Paula Caligiuri, PhD advising listeners how to overcome fear of judgment (imposter feelings) in social situations like interviews, presentations, and first dates. She normalizes the fear as universal, urges building self-awareness of strengths and weaknesses, recommends surrounding oneself with supportive people, and recommends repeated exposure (more interviews, dates, presentations) to reduce anxiety. Ends with a brief call-to-action to follow the creator.

Chapters

You might fear being judged by others. Whether you're on an interview, giving a presentation, or even on a first date. This is natural. We all have a basic desire for acceptance. We think that being criticized could harm our self esteem or maybe even our social standing. To overcome this, recognize that everyone has it. It's why most people dislike giving presentations. Do your best. Be proud of that, and don't imagine that everyone's thinking the worst. They aren't. Surround yourself with supportive friends and colleagues. Build self awareness of your strengths and your weaknesses. Remember, no one is perfect. Go on those interviews and those first dates and give more presentations. The more you expose yourself to these situations, the easier they'll become. Follow me to learn more.
