From this paragraphs it seems like you make the case that you could say and do 90% of what you want to say
Hmm. I think this highlights a key point. The word “want” is doing a lot of work here. I’m not sure I think you usually shouldn’t say what you want to say (unless you have some pathological version of want).
I believe things to be true about the world and myself that many people would probably, at minimum, disagree with, maybe even cause me social harm. The phrase “want to say” doesn’t capture my feelings about some portion of these things I believe. I’d be glad to share these thoughts if I thought others (or myself) would benefit from the sharing, but I do not have any want that would be satiated by telling people these thoughts.
That might not be a universal way of feeling, but I think what is universal is that by sharing cringey things, you are trading one good for another. That trade may or may not be a net gain for you. Not a thing I can judge!
