completely serious question, not rhetorical in the slightest: how do you know what you wanna do?

hmmmm i am a bit stumped
i…hmm
it feels like the act of wanting something necessary includes me knowing that the wanting exists
like, "how do you know that you feel cold" well if i didn't know that i'm feeling cold i wouldn't be feeling cold, those are tightly connected

so it might be that you're asking "how do you know that what you want is the right thing to do", or "how is it that you want something at all" or something like that

unfortunately i am literally asking how you know you want something
hmm
have you never suppressed your desires and needed to unsuppress them 🤔
Replying to
if you don't feel you want something then you don't want anything, simple as
desires are self-evident
go sit down and stare at the wall until there is something that you find undesirable about that condition, then investigate what could possibly be better than staring at a wall

congratulations, you have resolved all desires, your life is absolutely perfect in every way and there is nothing to improve ever
..unless..
and then you investigate the "unless"

When depressed I had no ability to just see what I wanted, and had to reverse engineer from how I felt after doing something.
When not depressed it's a mix of 1. does thinking of doing X feel happy, and 2. what happens when I stop restraining myself

i was depressed a couple times in my life and at the time i very clearly wanted to not be depressed, it was very unpleasant
