It's almost like, you know, when you're going to go see a 3D movie and you've got those dorky glasses and you kind of don't want to put the dorky glasses on when you're sitting in the theater, but you're standing there and you're when you're watching the screens and it doesn't make any sense.

What we find is people, when they begin to look at themselves through the lens of how the world sees you, they feel self-conscious. They feel awkward or, oh, what if there's going to be something negative? Or sometimes they feel vain. Like, well, why do I want to focus on how people see me?
