I’m biased against Twitter and Twitter threads, but I found this post readable and useful.
My own current take on resolving my inner conflict is to see my complex identity as the result of multiple simpler and focused identities, and to try to address the need of each while keeping my priorities. Something vaguely like IFS, but not exactly.
The pattern: We find a new coercive method that gets us to do things through “self-discipline”. As we use this method, resentment builds. Until finally the resentment for the method is stronger than the coercion it provides.
And then there’s a ridiculous binge period when you do nothing productive whatsoever.
