Some people feel like superheroes when they're in public, while others act like shy little mice. It's because their brains send different messages. When you're confident, your brain tells your body to relax and speak up. But if you're nervous, it might tell your heart to race and your voice to whisper. Like having a magic switch, some people flip theirs on in crowds, others turn it off.
Examples
- Your mom talks to the whole class like she’s giving a big presentation, but you feel your heart race just thinking about speaking up.
- At a party, some people laugh loudly with everyone, while others just nod quietly from the corner.
