"I think that all of us are 5-year-olds and we don't want to be embarrassed in the schoolyard"

This quote by Helen Hunt talks to the idea that, no matter our age, all of us have a fear of being embarrassed in front of others. This fear of shame is something that we all bring with us from childhood, when we were all five-year-olds in the schoolyard. As grownups, we may not remain in the schoolyard anymore, but the fear of being embarrassed still lingers. We may be more mature and skilled, however the fear of being judged and made fun of still exists. We might be more confident in our capabilities, however the fear of failure still remains. This quote speaks to the idea that, no matter how old we are, we all still have the exact same worries and anxieties that we had as five-year-olds in the schoolyard.
