What If You Were Only Missed for What You Provided?
Some people slowly become emotionally load-bearing for everyone around them without ever realizing when it happened.
In this episode of Echoes from the Peake, Frank Mills explores the quiet transition from being seen as a person to being experienced as a function, and the loneliness that can develop when people become attached to what you provide more than who you are underneath it.
This is a reflection on emotional responsibility, leadership, identity, usefulness, and the complicated difference between being valued and being needed.
