Beyond the glow of the screen - on attention, silence, and human presence

Sometimes I wonder when exactly we began to fear the empty spaces in our own lives. Not the great emptiness that comes with separation, loss, or unfulfilled dreams, but those small intervals we once barely noticed: a few minutes before waking, the journey home, the anticipation of someone's arrival, the afternoon light falling across a table, the silence between two thoughts. Today, it seems that every such pause creates a need within us to fill it. Almost unconsciously, our hand reaches for the phone, the screen lights up, and a foreign world enters our consciousness before we have even had the opportunity to meet our own. The day begins not with the feeling of returning to life, but with checking what is happening somewhere else. News, messages, images, other people's anxieties, achievements, and opinions - everything enters through a small illuminated surface while our own thoughts are still somewhere in the half-dreaming space of the night.

The intersection point

 People of any gender can be intimidated or threatened by someone who they perceive as strong, confident, or assertive, regardless of the person's gender.

However, some women may be intimidated by strong men because they challenge traditional gender roles and expectations, which can be a threat to their sense of safety and power. For example, a strong, dominant man may make some women feel as though their opinions and decisions are not valued or heard.

It's important to note that this is a social and cultural issue, and not a universal truth or a trait inherent to all women. Many women respect and admire strong men and find their confidence and strength to be attractive and inspiring.

As with strong women, a man being strong doesn't necessarily mean he's aggressive or overbearing. Strength can take many forms, including emotional intelligence, assertiveness, and the ability to overcome challenges and adversity. Ultimately, it's up to each individual to determine their own definition of strength and what they find attractive in a partner or friend.

The intersection point where both strong men and strong women may be seen as intimidating or threatening to others is likely rooted in societal expectations and cultural norms around gender roles and power dynamics. When someone challenges these norms and defies traditional expectations, they may be perceived as a threat to the status quo, and this can lead to fear or intimidation.
