Does anyone have stories about triggering this shift? I don’t remember the time when I didn’t think this way. I was a very consciously stoical child. (i.e. at some point in 2nd or third grade, when my parents offered to buy me the American Girl doll accessory I said I wanted, I said they should wait, because I felt like I wanted it now but if I really wanted it, I’d still want it in a month so we should wait and see. I’m not sure how I triggered on all this).
