Is anyone else surprised when people see you, like REALLY see you?

For example, I was annoyed at work a few weeks ago, and people actually cared. Granted it's work, but they could tell that I was frustrated and asked me questions about the problem I was working on to try to help me. Then the next day they asked me if it was better.

It was weird. Like "whoa, these people NOTICE ME". I think I spent my whole life feeling unseen so it shocks me when people notice me, or give a crap. I feel like this is one of those things that normal people maybe take for granted? That their thoughts, feelings, preferences and needs matter?
