My instinctive reaction to this is “I’m allowed to identify with whatever I like, you don’t get to tell me what I’m allowed to do”. The post reads to me as the author trying to unilaterally impose their personal ideal of perfection on other people.
That was my instinctive reaction too, but there’s a charitable reading where the tone is primarily for internal use, e.g. for when you have trouble escaping a failure mode and you’d like to have a strong catchphrase already prepared for the next time you need it.
Say you’re procrastinating, then playing the game of identifying yourself with having this flaw may be one way your brain hide that you’re procrastinating for a reason you’re not confortable to admit. Once you noticed this might be a partial explanation, then you usually don’t want to be a procrastinator, but a rational person looking to overcome the limitations of its hardware.
