Really enjoyed this piece. As I understand myself more, and I recognize the messages I've been told about how being seen can hurt you, many of those tendrils stem from not wanting to just be consumed. From what we can produce, to other people's experience of us. Thanks for sharing this.
This piece continues to make its way back to me. I find myself in the realization that maybe, just maybe, I'm not as introverted as I proclaim. It feels as though a reckoning of sorts is on the horizon. Thank you for this!
I have a lot recently about this topic. Thank you creating a dictionary for the language I want to express. “I want to be witnessed not consumed.”
