The specific loneliness of feeling invisible in a room full of people — or in a relationship, or in a family — is one of the harder ones to name because from the outside, it's not visible. You're present. You're participating. You're doing all the things that should add up to connection.
And underneath it, nobody actually sees you. The specific interior experience, the version of yourself that exists past the functional surface, goes unwitnessed.
