Humiliated in front of everyone: the moment that won't go away, sentence 3
For a week every laugh in the corridor felt like it was about her, but by the next month most kids had forgotten, because people mostly think about themselves and the next funny thing always comes along; this is called the spotlight effect, feeling that everyone notices you far more than they really do.
Who acts: laugh, most kids, people, next funny thing, everyone · What happens: feel, be, forget, think, come along, call · To what, where: this, you · Speech: someone speaks here
