#### [[Increases in scrutiny lead to increases in anxiety]]
[[Scrutiny]] increases and decreases throughout our life.
We may be more sensitive to [[scrutiny]] at different points in our life like during puberty or a new job.
[[Social media]] increases our access to [[scrutiny]] and thus it increases our [[anxiety]].
[[Confidence is a feedback loop]] and an overly scrutinous environment can keep our [[confidence]] low even if our skill is high.
- works with:: [[Social anxiety is a fear of social consequence]]
- leads to:: [[Self-hatred is born out of dissonance between self-image and self-perception]]
