... It was Laing, I think, who said that all people are invisible to each other. ...
Here are the (probably) most relevant passages ...
- R. D. Laing, The Politics of Experience, Chapter 1"My experience of you" is just another form of words for "you-as-l-experience-you", and "your experience of me" equals "me-as-you-experience-me". Your experience of me is not inside you and my experience of you is not inside me, but your experience of me is invisible to me and my experience of you is invisible to you. ...
I cannot experience your experience. You cannot experience my experience. We are both invisible men. All men are invisible to one another. ...
