Turn this around for a greater twisst: what if this is the way you'd love to treat everyone else, if there were no bad consequences to do so? What if this is who you are when you have absolute power?

Sounds like a great skill! My ability to do that varies hugely by my own context (health, sleep, nutrition, work, stress levels) and the nature of the think I'd be noticing (BPD is a real pain), so it can be difficult to stop even when I do notice. Making progress though.
questioning, disciplined, challenging, okay, but not meaner!
I mean the flipside of this is that I've had to spend the last two years working really hard to get to a point where I can have strong emotional responses to anything. So I think partly we're just starting from being stuck at opposite ends of a spectrum.

Yes good point! Would be interesting to compare notes sometime.

I identify strongly with this. My emotional responses are usually very controlled or even muted, and while this is definitely a benefit in many contexts, I sometimes wonder if I'm losing out on engaging with my feelings more. Being in a neutral state all the time is kinda boring

Tbh I know that I should work on this, but 1) I'm not sure what concrete steps to take and 2) I shy away from strong feelings/I'm scared
