Look

The Artist was an observer, he couldn't bear to be observed. The world always gets those mixed up.

~ Fredrik Backman

When you are wired to watch other things instead of focused on looking at yourself, it is uncomfortable when people look at you. You worry that they might see all of you, all of the secrets, all the flaws, all of the imperfections. You worry about those things because that is what you see when you look at others. 

Sometimes you also see them slip on the ice and fall down and you laugh a little. And you don't want people to see you fall and then laugh because that is not funny at all.
