To think people mistake attention for connection and call it love?

[SeenButUnknownWren]

We equate visibility with care. AIBU to think being seen has replaced being known?

Known or seen? These semantics are meaningless.

OMG stop

.

My head hurts. Can you put that in plain English please OP?

No idea what this means?

I'm lost too.

What's with all these generic AIBUs that aren't linked to real events these days?

I actually think I get what you mean. Do you mean that someone paying you a lot of superficial attention isn’t genuine connection? Deep and real care goes beyond just being around regularly in someone’s life. I do think there is a difference between been seen and being known - if I’ve interpreted it the way you mean
