Do you feel this during in person meetings? Where you are constantly surveilled and every movement you make watched?

You feel this way shopping in the grocery store? Where the cashier is constantly looking at you when speaking? Is your productivity lower because the other people in the store can see you?

The problem with virtual meetings is you can't tell what someone is looking at. If you have 9 people looking straight ahead, it looks like they are all looking at you.

This may not be an issue for you, but it makes some people uncomfortable. Add anxiety disorder and it's a fucking nightmare. I have no issue if I can see where people are looking.

I have never had anxiety in my life and being on camera every day for hours has gotten me most of the way there.
