Why Your Mind Goes Blank in Social Situations🙁🙁
I talk about why our minds suddenly go blank when someone talks to us, especially if we have social anxiety. I explain that this happens because our attention shifts to threat, like worrying about what to say or being judged, which uses up mental capacity. I share a personal example from my maths GCSE on my 16th birthday, where I was so anxious I couldn’t even remember my own name.🤯🤯🤯
