Dear Catherine:

You are welcome.

In your original post you mentioned “feeling of not being seen”. In your second post you wrote: “I believe that only when I’ll finally be seen I’ll be authorized to see myself”-

a child needs to be seen by a parent before she can see herself. When not seen, a part of us hides, waiting in the dark for someone to shine the light and see us, setting us free from that darkness.

Often such seeing is done in competent psychotherapy. Often enough, people are too busy to really see others, to see through.  Reads to me that this man is one of the many, many people who are too busy, otherwise occupied.
