I insist that everyone stop freaking out at themselves immediately you are probably fundamentally fine and Good and if you are not, fretting constantly is probably not helping your situation and dont you dare start fretting about fretting either!!https://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1295432100397461505?s=19 …

Ok here is an idea perhaps I generally tacitly and sometimes explicitly view life as operating in a narrative. Is this "true" who cares What is important is that without some kind of narrative for your life you will probably go nuts and may already have done
Naturally life is different than a play because (i) you are already cast in your role, (ii) you simply must determine the scope of your part within your abilities and circumstances
Maybe much dismay can be thought of as resulting from a mismatch between ones "actual self" whatever that means and the narrative in which one is casting themselves
ie youre probably better off saying "who am I" and finding a narrative role that makes good use of the answer to that question than you are saying "this is the role I have decided I shall play" and bludgeoning yourself when it doesnt work with your character idk work in progress
good thread, and I'm interested, but there's a tension - if you adopt a role too tightly, failures in that role strike one as failures in self so you need to hold the role lightly so that you can exit a crashing vehicle and move into a new one but that light hold >
cuts directly against the narrative sense of life I've tried and failed at several roles, and now, approaching 50, I am kind of tired of roles and narratives you rip 3 or 4 bandaids off and the adhesive doesn't stick so well any more
narratives ARE good and life without narratives IS kind of pointless, but when you know that and still can't find a Heroic Narrative that works (works for more than 5 or 10 years), then maybe you're a bit worse off than before
Would a counterfactual "you" who didn't ever buy into narratives be worse off when approaching the 50th birthday?
hard to say!
