And “seeing” work in service of people with nothing much to present is the most difficult kind of caring work. Relentlessly demanding, exhausting, and fundamentally unrewarding/thankless, even if you’re being paid. Reverse dementoring. Soul transfusion instead of soul sucking.

Not proud to admit this, but I’m finding out my soul surplus available for seeing-caring work is extremely limited. I’m like a cellphone battery at 10% and red even at my best. In awe of people who seem to have 10x battery to go around soul-charging others.

10% surplus for random other humans that is. More like 70-80% for selfish use.

Is your position that the biological imperative for people to feel connected to a community who “sees” them is deppressing because modern civilization fails in this regard, ir that the individuals fail to evolve?

tbf this is sampling bias — you aren’t seeing people who prefer not to be seen

I’m nit talking about public seeing. Most people are just seen by family/close friends.

I've moved on from the narrative of being seen. Idk, from time to time, I think there's something more going on --https://twitter.com/startuployalist/status/1215125696726499328?s=20 …

Sadly it’s not a “narrative”. It’s a basic need and unconscious drive like eating that most people never reconstruct into anything else.
