The Fear of Being Seen Trying | Stop Hiding Your Growth (Ep. 31)

Have you ever wanted something so badly… but stayed quiet about it?

In this episode of Middle of the Fence, Andre dives into the fear of being seen and the anxiety that comes from putting yourself out there before you feel ready. From perfectionism and over-planning to overthinking and social judgment, this episode breaks down why so many of us hide our goals and delay action.

You’ll learn:
 • Why perfectionism keeps people stuck
 • How fear of judgment fuels avoidance
 • The psychology behind the Spotlight Effect
 • Why looking foolish is actually a superpower
 • How visibility builds confidence
 • Why there is no such thing as “being ready”

This episode is for anyone who’s ever been afraid to post, share, or start.

Audience Question:
What’s one goal you’ve been hiding because you’re afraid of being seen trying?
