u kno how people can be harsher on their loved ones or ingroup members than with strangers? there's a range of reasons, from "I expect more from us", "your incompetence/failure makes me look bad", "this is a sore spot for me", etc one of mine is, I get annoyed by the "half-free"

like, I'm honeslty cool with people who don't think or care about being a Free Sovereign Autonomous Individual or whatever. call them NPCs, whatever, the label doesn't matter. they can be Happy and Good I'm also cool with Real Gangstas, High-agency players. blah bla you get it

but the people I somehow simultaneously have the most tenderness for – and get the most fucking annoyed by, ugh – I guess it's because they remind me of a part of myself – are the people who are stuck in the middle, a foot in both worlds, being indecisive, whining, etc

you could ofc switch up the frames and say that, is anybody truly free? is anybody truly not-free? so aren't we all half-free? well yeah in that sort of cosmic sense. but I'm talking abt ppl with a very specific energy. flooring the gas and slamming the brakes simultaneously

Super grateful to Contrapoints for talking about this - I think in the Cringe video? If she hadn’t articulated the phenomenon so well I think I might’ve spent many more years kind of just shadow-freaking about this

51. Most of us are suckers. I am one of us. I think I maintain a “will I, won’t I” attitude towards becoming a non-sucker because it’s a lot of work and technically kinda boring. I am too lazy to become a non-sucker 😂 what a sucker

the first step to cease being an unintegrated wannabe is to accept that you are one, and will always be one. and to see the beauty, humor, joy and humility in that

@visakanv In Dick Schwartz's book You Are The One You've Been Waiting For, where he applies his IFS framework to relationships, he points out that people are freaked out towards the parts of themselves they've repressed, and respond to other peoples' unrepressed versions w the same energy.

1️⃣ You are the main player. Everyone else is an NPC. Don’t confuse what they want for what you want.
