Fear of Being Perceived

“You crave attention but only under 13 layers of metaphor and a cloak of invisibility.”

A chronic dis-ease marked by sudden flinching when noticed, complimented, or made real. Symptoms include deleting posts, muting stories, and dressing like an emotional decoy.

Throat chakra: silenced. Third eye: hyper-vigilant. You're hiding in plain sight and still feel seen.

Wear your weird. Loudly.
Practice being perceived by plants first.
Say 'thank you' instead of short-circuiting when complimented.

With regular doses of radical self-expression and mild defiance, visibility becomes survivable. Even empowering, on a good hair day.
