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 🤔

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

this is not my experience of desires at all fwiw
same; I can be in states where specific desires are almost completely absent, while still having a pervasive sense of dissatisfaction

and actually, now that I think of it, reliable access to positive desires seems to require a certain amount of rest
