The more emotionally aware you become, the lonelier it gets. You start seeing the cracks in people, the truths they bury, the ways they run from themselves. Few can face honesty without turning it into defense, few can truly meet you where you are. What once felt like connection starts to feel hollow, built on fear rather than depth. And the hardest truth is knowing you can see people fully, but most will never have. the capacity to truly see you.
