The Mortifying Ordeal Of Being Known

the mortifying ordeal of being known

I think with Yor being so perceptive, she picks up on little things often (like we saw in ch 103). i believe this would impact loid more so than the usual person, because he is a spy and fakes every part of himself, so to be seen is simultaneously desirable and horrifying. like, it makes him torn between wanting to accept and reciprocate the love, or distancing himself so that it doesn't happen again.

thats mostly what the last panel is about, that dichotomy between 'omg this person noticed this about me, is this love' and 'oh shit this person noticed this about me, is this Doom'

just some thoughts i had🤪

was listening to this podcast episode where they discuss their thoughts on empathy and one of them argues that empathy is at its core selfish. he argued that since empathy is by definition being able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes / imagining yourself in the other person’s position, empathy centers the empathizer and their perception of the other person’s struggle/feelings. he went on to say that instead of empathy in itself we should instead ask questions and above all LISTEN to what the other person is factually saying about their feelings and the situation instead of simply focusing on this emotion (empathy) that tends to center the listener. and it had me thinking about the whole ’I’m an empath’ phenomenon on the internet in the past few years and yeah. it all makes sense. empathy is nothing if you don’t actually want to hear why the other person is struggling. and this is probably also why a lot of well off people think they’re good people for simply feeling bad for a disadvantaged person when the key would be to actually understand the societal structures that cause that disadvantage
