Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The imaginary audience is a psychological phenomenon where adolescents believe that they are constantly being evaluated and judged by others, leading to extreme self-consciousness and sensitivity to public criticism. This can cause them to be overly concerned with their appearance and behaviors, and to feel as if they are always "on stage". It can also lead to greater social anxiety and difficulty communicating with others.
