Feeling Invisible
Everyone feels invisible to someone at some time. It’s part and parcel of the human condition.
But the path to becoming visible doesn’t go through other people. It goes through the agency and the autonomy a person gets for themselves.
And then it continues, secondly, by negotiating with other people in the world who typically have their own emotional and psychological events going on in their heads.
Autonomy and agency don’t come from the presence of external markers or via external validation from other, equally flawed, people. Autonomy and agency are confirmed by external markers second.
Eliminating invisibility always begins with the hard work people must do internally.
And if a person’s internal north star is pointed in any direction other than at the highest, most transcendent reality, there’s going to be inevitable trouble, confusion, chaos, trauma, and despair in achieving such internal visibility to themselves first.
It’s part and parcel of the human condition.
