Making your presence known begins with you.  If you don't recognize yourself in the mirror how do you expect others to play along?  We spend too much time depending on coworkers, family and friends to pick us up.  Emotional vampires and or wet blankets.  Which isn't a good thing because a wet blanket can smell moldy.  Making a presence through awareness.  To be in fully in touch with yourself and not another human's supply of energy.
