What is Unseen?

You sense that your real experience, needs, or perspective is not registering with the other person. Despite your efforts to communicate, something essential is not landing. Feeling unseen in a relationship is one of the more quietly devastating experiences we can have.

When you might feel unseen

Unseen is a specific form of misunderstood, which itself is a type of strained. You might experience this feeling in situations where strained is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define unseen.
