Apa artinya “to be seen”?
Tadi pas jalan pulang dari kantor, persis depan halte TJ yang ada di jalan gatsu dengan helm yang kacanya masih basah karena kehujanan pas siang, random tiba-tiba kepikiran maksudnya “to be seen” apa ya?
I’ve probably known the phrase for a long time(?), but never really thought about it. And guess what I’m doing the second I got home? — I googled it
It can have several meanings, often relating to recognition, acknowledgement, or being noticed. It also can mean being seen for one’s true self, including both positive and negative aspects
Terima kasih zaman modern untuk akses informasinya yang mudah 🙏🙏. Jadi, yang gue tangkep itu seberapa orang perhatian sama diri kita, ya? Sebanyak apa yang orang tau tentang kita gitu.
Obrolan Kantor
Nah, ngomong-ngomong soal topik ini, di kantor tadi ada obrolan. It just happened that we were talking about songs — Especially the indie ones.
Dan yang lain tuh kayak, kaget? Mereka gak expect kalau gue bakal suka banyak lagu-lagu kayak gitu, bahkan sampai nonton konser sendirian.
Pas ditanya, mereka bilangnya karena gue keliatan “cupu” — (i honestly don’t know what to say). And I must agree, I am a bit of a nerd, suka main game aneh, nonton film-film gajelas, bisa ngoding. Tapi itu loh, does that count as “seen” by them? I mean, they know me as a nerd, but not as a person who likes indie music that much.
Penutup
Jadi yah, itu kayaknya yang bikin kepikiran. Can I say that I am “seen” by them? Or is it just a part of me that they know? In which point does someone “seen” another person? I don’t know, but I think it’s interesting to think about.
Anyway, terima kasih buat yang udah baca sampai sini. Ini cuma monolog + yapping dari gue, and if my kantor friends are reading this, I hope you don’t mind me sharing these thoughts. Good night!
