I was on a group video call last night and realized I was staring at my own little square the whole time, just watching my own reactions instead of actually listening to anyone. It made me feel really self-conscious and weirdly detached. I’m starting to wonder if this constant low-grade performance for the camera is changing how I show up in conversations, even simple ones. Has anyone else felt that shift?
