The simple fact is that we are talking here instead of privately (via DM) already demonstrates our most primal desire to be heard.
I don't see it as a bad thing, it is part of us, the important thing is to be aware of it as you said and try to keep our instincts at bay.
If you think about it, even the way we dress is a way to feed this need.
but if we deactivate all this 100% I think that we are inhibiting our own essence 🙂
