Frequently Asked Questions

I feel like people are noticing me more now that I’m less numb. Why does that feel so significant?

As your Threat & Safety system regulates, your "relational field" expands. When you were in shutdown, you likely projected a "do not disturb" signal to survive. Now, as you rejoin the moment, the world "notices" you because you are finally "broadcastable" again. In the Meaning Density Model™, this isn't about social pressure; it’s a structural restoration of connection. Being noticed is a data point that you are no longer in hiding, confirming that your identity is safe to be seen.

Does being "noticed" mean I have to start being social again?

No. Restoration of the relational field is a structural shift, not a social obligation. You can be noticed without having to "perform." DojoWell suggests viewing this as "connection without pressure." Your Status & Control system might feel the need to respond to every gaze, but you can simply remain in your own space. Being seen is just the environment acknowledging your presence; you don't need to "do" anything to validate it.
