A question i want to ask, gently, with loving curiosity: if you’ve ever hated yourself… why?
(this is not an attack, i promise. i’m looking to understand. i will block anyone who is mean to anyone else in the replies)

(hate is a strong word, but same direction)

in retrospect they believed there was a < 10% chance I could, and I agree that was about right, but their language was more like 90% and I felt bad for not living up to expectations

aww ty. In retrospect I'm very glad I wasn't talented enough (at least then, probably still now though) to grow a company that large!
Didn't even want to be running a big company then, knew I was on the wrong path but afraid to turn around and do something else

I love this, this is non-obvious and in my model I think it significantly explains your outlier-level general happiness. you're casually, constantly addressing all sorts of tensions and conflicts etc that lots of other people don't even identify or acknowledge

it requires a truly outrageous amount of self-honesty that i can currently only muster by yelling most of the thoughts in a car. i like the way my voice sounds when i do it but if i could do it sublingually that would be way faster
