a fun thought experiment i like to give people is, 1. imagine you're dating someone who is basically identical to you psychologically/emotionally etc, same worries n anxieties and pet peeves etc 2. how would you drive each other insane? what would ya'll fight about? https://t.co/WcZdtZfr05
done properly this accomplishes multiple things simultaneously 1. help people see how they are already in conflict with themselves internally; everyone is to some degree 2. manages expectations re: how much conflict to expect with someone else who ISNT a literal clone of you
in my case i think we'd bump up against each other a lot about the intricacies of ambition, like we'd check in on each other "so how's that project you're working on going" "it's going? u wanna be more specific?" and then one of us would find the other too abrasive, fight
"I thought you wanted to be challenged!" "well maybe i could use a little support instead?" "sure, how can i support you?" "rn maybe u could get off my ass? jk how about we go have some ice cream" "that sounds good actually" mmm i should take myself out for ice cream more
anyway, relevant wifethread for those who haven't seen it or wanna see it again: https://t.co/OSWsjoyKEB
