Carried: Ear Itching (Right)
“People keep coming at me about closeness and what I need, and everything in me says: leave me alone.”
It shows as an irritation at being approached, a reflexive push-back whenever others press in about one's needs, wants, or interest in relationship. On the outward, social-facing side, the overture itself is an intrusion to be repelled. What it asks for is to notice which approaches are actually unwelcome, rather than repel them all on principle.
Diogenes in his barrel, who told the most powerful man in the world only to stand out of his light, wanting nothing from anyone but to be left as he was. The form implies a task: to let some light in rather than wave every comer out of it.
