Question for non-coercion Twitter: Is bravery a form of self-coercion, and if not what's the distinction? (This isn't meant as a gotcha, I actually want to know your answer)

You might need to unpack that for me a bit

I say no. It is a very very hard choice to make to be brave but it is distinctly a choice. And if you are forced to be brave, well then you aren't the one coercing yourself.

How is being afraid to do something and choosing to do it anyway different from not wanting to do something and choosing to do it anyway in this respect?

they are independent concepts, I think. You can be brave without being coercive. You can try to coerce yourself into performing acts of bravery, though this could arguably be considered a sort of meta-cowardice - but hey, if it works for you, it works for you. It’s a journey

For me bravery feels like tapping into another part of yourself to do what you couldn't otherwise do, it's less like coercing and more like outsourcing.

IFS-framed answer: it's only not coercion if the part with the fear consents to being overruled. Like, in a work meeting, "disagree-and-commit" (if done well) would not be coercion. "disagree-and-overrule" would be, if that distinction makes sense? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disagree_and_commit …

To spell it out in more detail, the coercive version of courage would be something like: Part A: "we want this outcome" Part B: "but I'm afraid of X, Y and Z along the way" A: "well those fears are stupid and you're stupid. We're doing the thing" B: "...??!" (later) B: "aaaaaa"

Bravery is a type of buffer.
