We scroll through a hundred faces in minutes—double-tapping, swiping, judging. Yet we feel invisible ourselves. Strange, isn't it? We crave being seen while barely looking at others.
I noticed this at a coffee shop yesterday. Everyone hunched over screens, searching for connection through pixels while actual humans sat inches away. The irony struck me: we're drowning in contact yet starving for recognition.
What is being seen, really? It's not just having eyes land on us. A security camera sees us. So does a distracted stranger. True seeing requires attention—the kind where someone holds our words long enough to understand their weight. Where they notice not just what we say but why we might be saying it.
