Harsh truth: most people are invisible

Before we dive into this email —
I want you to know: I’m not here to offend or bring your vibe down before the weekend.
I’m just here to tell you the truth as I’ve seen and lived it.

I've experienced both ends of the human spectrum.
(Yeah, sounds dramatic — like I’m some kind of alien.)

When I was young, I couldn’t speak the language here in the Netherlands.
I was bullied for years. And back then, I wanted to be invisible.
It felt safer that way.

But now?
My experience of life is the total opposite.

I’m not trying to suck my own d*ck here, but people notice me.
Wherever I go — the gym, the street, the store — people treat me with warmth and respect.
And that contrast made me wonder…

Does everyone experience this?

The hard truth?
No.

Most people don’t get noticed.
Most people aren’t seen.

We like to think we’re the center of our own world — and we are.
But to the outside world? Most people are just… background noise.

Why?

Because most people are the same.

How can you stand out if you’re blending in with everyone else?

Think about the system:

  • Finish a degree

  • Work 9–5

  • Watch Netflix at night

  • Drink on weekends

  • Buy things to impress people you don’t even like

  • Eat quick, addictive food that slowly kills your energy

That’s 95% of people.

And expecting to be noticed in that crowd is like expecting someone to see a single grain of sand on the beach.

Sounds harsh, but it’s true.

And yet — everyone craves being seen.
We all want to be recognized. Loved. Desired. Valued.

So what do people do?

They wear flashy clothes.
They buy expensive things.
They change their pronouns.
They post constantly.

Whether it’s good or bad — not for me to say.

But the truth is, most people are screaming for validation.
And only a few ever get it.

So what’s the difference?

Those who get seen — stand out.
And the fastest way to stand out?

Fix your body.

In a world addicted to comfort, laziness, and autopilot, being fit already separates you from the herd.

Your body is the foundation for everything:
Confidence. Sex appeal. Self-respect. Energy. Magnetism. Presence.

If you don’t love yourself, don’t expect anyone else to.
If you don’t even see yourself — how will others?

Yes, there are other ways to stand out — charisma, social skills, energy.
Especially in this screen-glued, emotionally disconnected society.

But let’s be honest:
It’s hard to be charismatic if you don’t feel confident in your own skin.

That’s why I always say: the body is the base.

That’s it for this one. I hope it opened your eyes a bit.
This wasn’t meant to be negative — just real.
Don’t let it kill your vibe this weekend.

Enjoy life fully — but keep building yourself.
It’ll pay off more than anything else.

Kind regards,
