A Feeling
There's something I mind before meeting people
Why it gets to you
Awareness rises before meeting people because the premise of 'being seen' comes alive. The place you mind shifts with the person or the setting — sweat and odor, skin, beard, hair — attention gathers somewhere in the body according to the day's situation. Not feeling sure even after grooming may be because you feel the standard of judgment lies outside yourself.
Who tends to feel this
Men who spend longer in front of the mirror before an appointment. Common among those who finish preparing yet still feel unsettled.
Small pains in everyday life
Before an appointment, your time in front of the mirror grows
The place you mind changes with who you're meeting
Even after grooming, you can't feel sure
The moment you think 'I'll be seen,' awareness gathers in your face
