It’s really depressing how important it is to every person to be seen, no matter how obscure and unimportant, and how deeply they start to collapse when they’re not being seen. And older = worse. Most people don’t develop the inner resources to endure not being seen for long.

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.

A bit exploitative... But people use dogs as happiness batteries

tabletop rpg's semi-frequently have psychic vampires, who drain the quintessence, the spirit, from the places they inhabit & the people they encounter.

In general, agreed. But: Is seeing necessarily “draining” and being seen “charging”? I’ve felt energized by seeing — noticing, perceiving, being surprised/changed by — someone (usually someone who doesn’t seem to need to be seen). & I’ve felt drained by exposure of feeling seen
