I keep seeing people say that “12th housers are meant to be seen,” but honestly, that hasn’t been my experience. I often feel like I’m being outshined by others, like I’m constantly in some kind of competition without even trying to be.

What frustrates me more is that I notice people copying me, then claiming that identity as their own and get the attention instead. And when I try to express myself or be heard, I end up feeling invisible, like I’m still not truly seen or acknowledged...

It just makes me wonder… if we’re supposedly meant to be seen, then why do I feel this way? I wish to be recognized, but now I'm convinced I should play in the background even though I don't want to... I can't help myself but isolate once I feel overwhelmed by everything. Do y'all feel this way as well..? Like y'all know, you are meant for SOMETHING MORE out there, but the universe hinders you from letting others – including yourself, see it..? :(

It sucks so bad, man... Especially other people who reclaim your power as their own and remain outshined. Even as a kid, I often feel like I've been cursed throughout my entire life.
