Acedia is the malaise of the soul that comes from rejecting your basic nature, of denying the legitimacy of that which you know yourself in your deepest heart to be. It is the feeling of facing down your telos, screwing up your face, stamping your foot, and shouting "No! Shan't!"

Maybe you'd be less disconnected from your body if you didn't put so much effort into rejecting the core nature of your being? Maybe you're just a nerd, and instead of feeling bad about that you should have fun with it?

c.f. “paradoxical theory of change”—you can’t change by trying to be something you’re not, only by becoming more fully who you actually are

if this seems like nonsense, consider that change in organisms happens through growth, so it starts from exactly where you are and proceeds organically, usually slowly, in the direction of the desired result. “polymorph self” doesn’t exist.
