I suppose the whole thing sounds kind of weird to you then. I used to think the idea of being “seen” was a bunch of hand-waving or maybe a fairy tale or code for something woo woo. I’m not sure now. I wish I could explain it better. I definitely don’t feel like I’m being “eyeballed” though, and I’m not saying that the look means that he understands me or gets me, but it’s kind of nice and gives me hope. And it’s still kind of weird to me.
