What if you didn’t need anyone to see you a certain way? In this reflection, Tiger explores the exhausting habit of managing how others perceive us—an invisible prison we unknowingly create. True freedom isn’t about controlling opinions; it’s about allowing yourself and others to simply be. When we let go of the need for approval, we find a deeper sense of wholeness—one that doesn’t depend on external validation. In the end, the journey is not about being seen but about truly seeing ourselves. Please note: This track may include some explicit language.

I love that we can just let people see what they see and not need other people to see anything particular which is just like saying you're free. That's an amazing revelation because I recognize this tendency and my god there's a time was so prevalent where it's like you leave the house in the morning and you're on some sort of mission to make sure other people see you a certain way. Make sure other people have certain thoughts about you and not other certain thoughts which is really like going out into the world and trying to make everyone your prisoner which is trying to deny them of their freedom to see whatever they see and to see however they see which is kind of like you just be you and people will be people which is interesting too because the more you're bothered by how other people perceive you or the more you want people to perceive you a certain way then the more anxious you get which also leads towards a form of acting out you know because of course there's the argument like so you're saying it's okay for us to just be a dick to everyone well that's one way to see what I'm saying but you see this that people who are genuinely being a dick to somebody they're really concerned about other people's opinion right they're trying to assert some sort of control they're trying to be perceived as in control but to not need any of that nonsense you just be you it's like you don't need anything from anyone which is such a space even though that too can be misunderstood by people and they could perceive you as being a dick because you don't do what they want you to do all the time and that's fine they're allowed to see that but in the allowance for them to see you that way it also creates a beautiful dynamic where you don't have to be triggered by it because you're letting them see you that way in what a circus of burden it creates when we take on everyone else's projections rather than just letting them see whatever they see which means you don't have to think about it and you know and there's some deep wisdom here that points towards a truth that other people don't see you anyway and so it's pointless gosh that's one of my favorite things to see that no one actually sees me I guess from a certain perspective that might be depressing you see that it's impossible that's the thing when you see it's impossible then it's not something that's wanted because it's impossible you have to get your source of wholeness from something more real than what floats around in other people's mind and then when that is there you don't need other people to see you and even though I can see through these things and even though I see how much more extreme they were at a certain point in my life I can still see the little ways they still play themselves out it's super cute that voice that says I want people to see me is a voice that says I want to see what I am everything we want everything we desire is somehow seeking the truth of our own nature it doesn't really have anything to do with other people or what we imagine to be in the world it's too fulfilled the prime function of consciousness waking up to itself
