"I'm not afraid of strangers.
I'm afraid of people I know."
You know the feeling.
Your finger hovers over "Post."
You've rewritten this three times. Deleted it twice. It's finally ready. It's good. It's YOU.
But then...
You picture their face.
Your old coworker who always had something to say.
Your cousin who screenshots everything.
That high school friend who watches silently but sees everything.
And suddenly your chest tightens.
"What if they think I'm trying too hard?"
"What if they send this to someone else?"
"What if they laugh?"
You close the tab.
Delete the draft.
Tell yourself you'll post it tomorrow.
(You won't.)
Because it's not the content that scares you.
It's not the algorithm.
It's not even the strangers.
It's THEM.
The people who know you.
The people who remember the old version of you.
The people whose judgment would actually sting.
And as long as they're in your head, you'll keep hiding.
Let me guess what's happening in your head right now:
You have IDEAS. Really good ones. Things you want to share, insights you want to offer, content you're genuinely excited about.
But every time you sit down to post, you feel like you're performing for an invisible audience of critics.
You soften your language. Make it more "neutral." Strip out anything that might sound "too much."
Because you can hear their voice: "Who does she think she is?"
You imagine your family seeing it. Your old colleagues. That person from your past who still follows you for some reason.
And you think: "They're going to think I've changed. They're going to think I'm showing off."
So you delay. You edit. You water it down until it barely sounds like you anymore.
And even when you DO post, you spend the next hour refreshing, wondering if they saw it, imagining their snide comments.
You're not building a brand.
You're managing imagined judgment.
And you're exhausted.
Here's what I've noticed after working with hundreds of introverts:
Most people stop at awareness.
They do the work. They identify who they're afraid of.
That cousin. That old coworker. That friend-of-a-friend who watches everything but never interacts.
They trace the fear back. They have the big "aha" moment.
"OH. I'm not afraid of strangers. I'm afraid of HER."
They feel seen. Validated. Like finally someone GETS it.
And then... nothing changes.
They still don't post.
They still sit with a draft open for an hour, imagining reactions.
They still close the tab at the last second, heart pounding.
Because naming the fear doesn't make it go away.
Knowing WHO you're afraid of doesn't tell you what to DO when you picture their face and your throat closes up.
Understanding why you're scared doesn't stop the spiral when you imagine them laughing at you behind your back.
You need more than awareness.
You need a way THROUGH.
Not around. Not over. Not "just push through it."
Through.
A way to post even when your hands are shaking.
A way to show up even when you know they're watching.
A way to reclaim your voice from people who were never your audience anyway.
That's what this course is.
Introducing:
.png)
It's a short, powerful video course (just 30 minutes) that walks you through exactly what to do when fear of judgment shows up.
Not "push through it."
Not "just be confident."
Real tools for real fear.
If you’ve ever thought:
-
“What if they think I’m full of myself?”
-
“What if I’m being too much?”
-
“What if they don’t take me seriously?”
-
"What if they secretly make fun of me behind my back?"
You're in the right place.
There's a secret most people don't know:
There are really only 3 types of "watchers" that keep us stuck.
And once you know which one scares you most, everything gets clearer.
Type #1: The Critic
That person who you know will judge you.
The family member who thinks you're "showing off."
The old coworker who'll screenshot your post and laugh.
Your fear: Direct judgment. Mockery. Being torn down.
Type #2: The Ghost
That person who never interacts. Just watches. Silently.
You don't know what they're thinking. And that's worse.
Are they judging? Laughing? Feeling superior?
Your fear: The unknown. What they think but won't say.
Type #3: The Past Version of You
The people who knew you "before."
Before you changed. Before you grew. Before you became THIS version of yourself.
Your fear: "Who does she think she is? She's not like this."
Which one resonates most?
(Hint: You might have all three. That's normal.)
Here's why this matters:
You're not just afraid of "being judged."
You're afraid of SPECIFIC people having SPECIFIC thoughts.
And until you address those specific fears, you'll keep hiding.
The Critic makes you soften your message so you don't trigger them.
The Ghost makes you wonder "what if they're all secretly laughing?"
The Past Version makes you feel like an imposter for having changed.
Generic "be confident" advice doesn't work because it ignores WHO specifically scares you.
Inside They're Watching Me™, I walk you through how to work with each type.
Not avoid them. Not pretend they don't exist.
Work WITH them.
So you can finally post even when you know they're watching.

Why I Created This Course
Hi, I'm Seema Batavia - Confidence & Personal Branding Coach for Introverts.
Before I built my global coaching business and worked with clients at 4-5 figures, I was hiding.
For YEARS. Not because I lacked skills or expertise. But because I was terrified of who would see me online.
My old coworkers. My family. People from my past.
I kept delaying and delaying - while watching others build their brands and legacies.
As an introvert, I didn't want massive attention. I just wanted to be recognized in my industry. To be known for what I was capable of.
But the fear of judgment kept me silent. So I committed to changing my mindset and putting processes in place to show up safely online.
And once I broke free, I realized: So many other introverts are stuck in the exact same place I was.
That's why I created They're Watching Me™. To help you stop hiding and start showing up - without the years of delay I went through.
Because you have a lot to say. And the world needs to hear it.
These are real messages from people who finally broke free:
Relief from the Spiral
"I didn't realize how much mental energy I was wasting imagining what my old coworkers thought of my posts. This course helped me see that most of them aren't even paying attention - and gave me permission to stop caring. Game changer."
- Maya R., Freelance Writer
Finally Understanding the Fear
"Module 1 called me OUT. I thought I was just 'being careful' but really I was letting people from my past control my present. Now I know exactly where this fear comes from and what to do about it."
- K.T., Small Business Owner
From Hiding to Posting
"I used to have drafts sitting for weeks because I was terrified my cousin would screenshot and share it with the family. After this course, I posted three times in one week. Still nervous, but I'm actually doing it now."
- Priya S., Career Coach
The Boundary Toolkit Changed Everything
"I never thought about just muting people! The practical strategies in Module 4 gave me so much relief. I can post without spiraling about who's watching because I've actually taken control of my audience."
- Jordan M., Marketing Consultant
Short But Powerful
"30 minutes felt too short to make a real difference, but wow was I wrong. Every module hit exactly what I needed to hear. No fluff, just real tools I could use immediately."
- Dev K., Graphic Designer
It's Not Just Me
"Knowing other people struggle with this exact fear made me feel so much less alone. The workbook exercises helped me process years of hiding. I actually cried doing the 'Who Are You Performing For?' section."
- Sarah L., Content Creator
Permission to Outgrow
"I've been editing myself for so long to stay 'acceptable' to people who knew the old me. This course gave me permission to change and be visible anyway. They don't get to dictate my future anymore."
- Aisha T., Entrepreneur
Actually Addressing the Real Problem
"Every other course tells you to 'just post!' but this one actually gets WHY that's so hard when it's people you know. Finally, someone understands the difference between stranger judgment and familiar-face judgment."
- Michael R., Coach
Quick Relief
"I finished this in one sitting on a Sunday morning and posted something that afternoon that I'd been afraid to share for months. The immediate shift was wild."
- Emma J., Designer
Reclaimed My Voice
"I didn't realize how much space my high school friends were taking up in my head until this course. Now when I write, I think about MY message, not their imagined reactions. So freeing."
- James P., Consultant
(Pay attention to what they're NOT saying. They're not saying "I'm suddenly confident!" or "I'm not afraid anymore!"
They're saying: "I'm posting anyway. Even though I'm still scared. And it's changing everything.")
This course is for you if:
You’re sick and tired of editing or silencing yourself just to be “acceptable” to people who don’t even matter to your goals or vision
You keep gathering the courage to post, but you spiral at the last minute at the thought of someone from your past watching silently (and laughing)
You delay talking about your work or even showing your face - just in case someone from your life sees it and judges you
You’re dreading building something new (even though you've dreamt about it for ages) - because you can't stop thinking about who's watching
You're feeling defeated because if you didn't worry about what others thought, you would have been way ahead by now
Here's what staying hidden is actually costing you:
The client who would have been perfect for you - the one who needed exactly what you offer - hired someone less qualified. Because they didn't know you existed.
The opportunity that would have changed everything passed you by. Because you were too scared to put yourself out there.
The credibility you could have built over the last year - the authority, the trust, the recognition - it went to someone else. Someone who just showed up. Even imperfectly.
Your confidence? It's eroding. Every single time you write a post and delete it, you're teaching yourself that hiding is safer than being seen.
Your self-respect? It chips away each time you let someone who doesn't even care about you control what you say and how you show up.
And the worst part?
The gap keeps getting wider.
Right now, while you're reading this, someone with half your expertise is building the audience you wish you had.
Someone who cares LESS about judgment is landing the clients you deserve.
Someone who's less qualified but more visible is establishing themselves as the go-to person in your field.
And a year from now, if nothing changes, that gap will be even wider.
You'll still be hiding.
They'll still be thriving.
And you'll still be wondering: "What if I had just started?"
I'm not saying this to make you feel bad.
I'm saying it because I need you to understand what's at stake.
Your silence isn't protecting you.
It's costing you everything.

They'll finally stop living rent-free in your head.
I'll be straight with you:
You downloaded the workbook.
That means some part of you - even if it's small, even if it's scared -knows you can't keep living like this.
You can't keep letting people from your PAST control your FUTURE.
You can't keep shrinking yourself to make them comfortable.
You can't keep hiding your work, your voice, your FACE from the people who actually need you.
Because here's the truth:
The people you're afraid of? They've already formed their opinions.
Your cousin already thinks what she thinks. Your old coworker already sees you how he sees you.
Staying hidden doesn't change that.
It just keeps YOU stuck.
So here's the question:
How much longer are you willing to let them take up space in your head?
How much more time are you willing to waste editing yourself for people who don't even matter?
How many more opportunities are you willing to miss because you're terrified of judgment from people who aren't even your audience?
30 days from now, you could be:
Posting without spiraling.
Showing up without imagining their reactions.
Building the brand you've been delaying for years.
Or you could still be stuck.
Still hiding.
Still letting them control you.
Your choice.
But please - don't let fear make this decision for you.
You ready?
Let's go.
