if you're grappling with a problem, and you seem to get stuck when you're trying to deal with it on your own, and you only make progress when you have the right people around, instead of beating yourself up about this,, have you considered,,, you may be a mammal

I feel hung up on the notion that therefore I don't "really" enjoy X (ie, anything). Or rather: it feels very destabilizing and it hurts my ego to feel like EVERY one of my hobbies and preferences is contingent on those around me

@not_a_hot_girl It must be natural to enjoy doing things socially that other people care about. But purely external motivation won't carry outside that context; you have to find the internal drive. I think you can find it for many values of X, bc it's not so much about X but the approach to X.

@not_a_hot_girl @RichDecibels my revision to this take would be that even if you find an "internal" drive it can't actually be separated from the social context
