La brecha entre quiénes somos y cómo nos ven | Goomaral Sandag-Ochir | TEDxShildeg School Youth

El miedo a ser visto puede influir en silencio en decisiones cotidianas, desde levantar la mano en clase hasta hablar con alguien nuevo. En esta charla de TEDxShildeg School Youth, Goomaral Sandag-Ochir analiza por qué sentirse observado resulta tan incómodo, sobre todo para los adolescentes. Se apoya en la neurociencia, la psicología y su experiencia de crecer entre Mongolia, Inglaterra y Australia. La charla propone considerar ser visto como una parte necesaria de conectar, crear y ocupar espacio.

• Cómo el miedo a ser percibido afecta decisiones diarias
• Qué aportan la neurociencia y la psicología sobre la autoconciencia
• Crecer entre Mongolia, Inglaterra y Australia

Have you ever wanted to raise your hand, talk to someone new, ask a question, compliment someone, or try something new, but stopped because you suddenly became aware that people could see you doing it? My talk explores the fear of being perceived, the uncomfortable feeling that comes with knowing other people are watching, judging, or forming opinions about us. For teenagers especially, worrying about how we are seen can affect small decisions we make every day. It can change how we speak, who we approach, what we try, and even how much of ourselves we show to other people. What stayed with me was not the rejection. It was how difficult it was to ask in the first place. Why can simply being seen doing something feel so uncomfortable? Through neuroscience, psychology, and my experience growing up between different countries and cultures, I want to explore why we care so much about how we are perceived and how that fear shapes our choices. I want to explore what happens when we stop treating being seen as something to avoid and start seeing it as a necessary part of connecting, creating, and taking up space. Goomaral Sandag-Ochir is a youth health advocate, researcher, and founder of URAM Care, a youth-led health initiative in Mongolia. Having grown up between Mongolia, England, and Australia, she became interested in neuroscience, psychology, and how our environments shape the way we think and connect with others. Through her research and community work, she is passionate about making science relatable and meaningful to young people.
