Being seen is wonderful, it's empowering, and yeah, it's really frightening too.
I played this game last year. One day I drove to the grocery store, I was really incredibly depressed, lonely and spaced out. I sat in my car for an hour or so, and I just watched people come and go, come and go. And I was making up scenarios for them, you know, telling a story to myself about who was doing what and why and with whom.. the people I was watching became so interesting. After about an hour, I got out of the car and walked across the parking lot and into the store. And doing that was incredibly scary, after I'd been the observer for so long, so intimately, with so many .. it was really wild, the feeling of being seen like that.
And I'll bet no one even laid eyes on me, if they did they wouldn't have thought anything of me. Being seen is an illusion.
