you know I dont 🤔

Do I @selentelechia?

Was talking with Selene about this wrt meditation, I guess a bunch of stuff that meditators do deliberately is just like

natural or intuitive for me?

I have no idea how anyone would go about trying to emulate me much less why they would https://twitter.com/VectorOfBasis/status/1294731720349163520
I guess just "pay attention to things" is the best thing you can do but I have no idea how to cultivate that
I am fundamentally incredibly slothful maybe start there

is this unusual?

are people ok
I insist that everyone stop freaking out at themselves immediately

you are probably fundamentally fine and Good

and if you are not, fretting constantly is probably not helping your situation

and dont you dare start fretting about fretting either!! https://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1295432100397461505?s=19
Ok here is an idea perhaps

I generally tacitly and sometimes explicitly view life as operating in a narrative. Is this "true" who cares

What is important is that without some kind of narrative for your life you will probably go nuts and may already have done
Naturally life is different than a play because (i) you are already cast in your role, (ii) you simply must determine the scope of your part within your abilities and circumstances
Maybe much dismay can be thought of as resulting from a mismatch between ones "actual self" whatever that means and the narrative in which one is casting themselves
ie youre probably better off saying "who am I" and finding a narrative role that makes good use of the answer to that question than you are saying "this is the role I have decided I shall play" and bludgeoning yourself when it doesnt work with your character

idk work in progress
hmmm

"I need to be X" vs "I am someone who incidentally needs to be X to be who I am"

think about adaptively wearing masks and transcending them but start with the mask?

idk I should actually read Impro someday

extremely disorganized and inchoate, sorry
being vs becoming
