But the idea that the shape of one’s life may be, in part, an unconscious treatment for mental flaws is a disquieting one.
I find this not at all disquieting? It seems like all of the badness comes from labeling your preferences a “mental flaw”.
Is the implicit claim that you would have an overall better life if you pushed yourself to change or grow (another framing word) along this dimension? This is at least not obvious to me.
