About this listen

It feels irrational — until you notice how often a stranger’s glance can stick with you.
In this episode of Why This Exists, we unpack why we care what strangers think, how this instinct evolved, and why our brains still treat social judgment like a survival threat.
Along the way, a few surprising facts make this very human habit feel a lot more logical — and a little easier to laugh at.
