The article discusses the concept of 'self-invisibility,' metaphorically likened to physical invisibility but rooted in psychological and emotional experiences. It explores how overwhelm, anxiety, daily obligations, and social pressures can erode one's authentic self, leading to a disconnection from personal identity. The phenomenon emerges subtly, often causing individuals to question their existence and potentially engage in maladaptive behaviors. The importance of understanding this state lies in recognizing how modern life's demands can impede mental health and well-being.
The loss of self regards the forces that tend to hinder our growth and disrupt our ecology of self, shaped by relationships, environments, and experiences.
Sometimes in life this experience happens when we become psychologically occluded to our sense of self, losing touch with who we are and our own self-agency.
This 'invisible state' emerges from within, as an emotional and psychological phenomenon where our authentic self recedes into the background due to other issues.
The slow-burn phenomenon typically emerges almost imperceptibly, until we begin to question our own existence, sometimes driving some to engage in maladaptive behaviors.
