okay yeah i think it's resentment specifically. wow. everything i feel resentful about feels explosive and tricky to talk about and that's *part of the resentment*, that i feel like i have to be so incredibly careful and skilled for it to not blow up in my face

i've been feeling blocked wrt twitter for months now - like it shocks me how much better my tweets were in 2019 and 2020 when i didn't feel blocked, i just don't tweet fire anymore - and maybe it means i have a new set of things to unsuppress related to anger and resentment

i think i could potentially do some good by modeling what it's like to talk about those topics in a careful and emotionally honest way but i resent feeling like i have to put in that level of effort to be heard even remotely accurately
