While some people welcome pressure and shine brightest underneath the spotlight, others carry a nervous system that’s just a bit too nervous. This largely comes down to the amygdala.
The amygdala is the brain's fear center; its job is to react to threats and keep you safe. Your brain responds to a threat that’s not really there, signaling your body to release stress hormones and increase alertness. This creates a domino effect, leading to an activated fight-or-flight response, difficulty concentrating, and impaired memory.
