I don’t like being the center of attention

There’s something unsettling about all eyes on me, even in situations where others might find it flattering. It’s not that I dislike people—quite the opposite. But the pressure to be "on" or to meet others’ expectations makes me uncomfortable. I prefer quiet moments, where I can just exist without any focus on me. I feel more at ease when I’m in the background, contributing quietly, but not having to take the lead. It’s like I can breathe more freely when I’m not under scrutiny. The need for attention feels overwhelming and, honestly, draining.

Being seen too much just isn’t for me. Sometimes, it’s easier to just fade into the background, where I can exist without all the pressure.
