Visakan Veerasamy @visakanvThe longer a relationship lasts, the likelier it is that you’ll step on each other’s toes in recognizably repetitive patterns. The longer this goes on, the more hollow of an excuse “I wasn’t thinking” becomes. It thus becomes *necessary* to become more considerate. pic.twitter.com/pKZvA1ihWsShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 7 likes -

thought occurs: sometimes it's pretty difficult to change a behavior if we can describe it by "i wasn't thinking"-- even if you want to change (not contradicting what you're saying necessarily, rather thinking about the nature of long-term relationships)

(seems like "want" is a bit of an overloaded word here, because on one hand "if you really wanted to change, wouldn't you just... change?" but also something doesn't quite seem right with that logic but i don't know how to articulate it properly)

"If you really wanted to change, wouldn't you just change?" is not a model of human behaviour that seems to track what people actually do. Habits are really hard to change.

Like habit change is this whole specialised skillset that most people don't have and even when you do have it it's really hard to apply.

yeah it's tough, it's a combination of will and environment and what the triggers are, like there are patterns that cause actions.
