You’re Scared to Be Seen? You’re Not Alone.

Hello Fellow Adventurer,

There’s a version of you that’s bursting to be seen. She’s clever. Creative. Soft and strong in all the right places. But there’s also a version of you that’s afraid—afraid of what might happen if you show up fully.

In my latest video, I talk about the fear of being seen—something I know intimately. And if you’ve ever hesitated to post the thing, share your art, speak up in a room, or even just be visible in your own life... this post is for you.

👁️ Why Does Being Seen Feel So Scary?

The fear of being seen isn’t just about being shy. It’s deeper than that. It’s layered with childhood lessons, unspoken rules, and nervous system protection.

Here are a few reasons this fear might live in your body:

• You were taught to be “low-maintenance”
  Maybe you learned it was safer not to take up space.

• You’ve been judged before
  One moment of embarrassment or rejection can linger for years.

• You think visibility = vulnerability
  If people see you, they might criticize you, or worse—reject you.

🌿 But Here’s the Truth:

Being seen doesn’t have to be dangerous. It can be empowering. Liberating. Healing. But first, we have to rewire the story.

🛠️ A Practice to Help You Begin:

“One Minute in the Spotlight”

This is something I use when my fear creeps back in:

1. Pick a low-stakes visibility moment.
   A short post. A voice note. Wearing an outfit that feels more like you.

2. Breathe.
   Seriously. A deep, grounded breath to signal safety to your body.

3. Do the brave thing.
   Post it. Say it. Share it. Even if it’s not perfect. (Tag me I want to see and support @wgng25)

4. Reflect.
   What did you feel? What shifted? What did you learn?

Every time you do this, even in the smallest ways, your comfort zone expands.

💬 You’re Not the Only One

I saw so many people say things like:

“I’ve had a YouTube channel idea for years, but I can’t get past the fear of judgment.”

“I love writing, but I’ve never shared anything. What if people hate it?”

If that’s you—hi, I see you. You’re not weird. You’re not broken. You’re just human.
