But often, not. Had that happen. Met the person. Didn't work out.
One gets in the habit of being invisible, on a planet with almost eight billion humans. There was a brilliant article about the myth of "self-esteem", and how subsequent research completely demolished it. Turns out, people are only special if they do gracious, worthwhile or extraordinary things. Otherwise, no one is particularly interesting or remarkable. "Self-esteem", widely adapted into the curriculum during the school years of the Millennials, became just a way to indulge one's narcissistic tendencies. The intrinsic worth of a human being is no different than that of a mackerel, for example. Because life is life (or is it?). All worth is extrinsic. Be remarkable, and then maybe you'll get noticed.
Maybe..
