Known
What is Known?
There is someone in your life who holds a full picture of who you are, including your contradictions and your history. Being known takes time and repeated honesty — it is intimacy earned through genuine encounter. When someone truly knows you, loneliness loses some of its grip.
When you might feel known
Known is a specific form of understood, which itself is a type of bonded. You might experience this feeling in situations where bonded is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define known.
