    If you ever struggle with “problem behaviors” like losing your temper, feeling like you have to be perfect, procrastinating, people-pleasing, or hating yourself, I highly recommend the book Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving.

    (I had a couple more tweets about not being able to type anything, but it turned out that I'd gotten signed out somehow. Didn't notice because the Roam I'm working on is set to public.)

    ^ This also connects to a data integrity piece: Say I import some source material doc like a book excerpt, and link [[word]]. Then I change the [[word]] page to [[Big Fancy Word]] -- the source material now says [[Big Fancy Word]], with no notice to me that I've changed it

    Some friction points: - Page aliases ( linking uppercase / lowercase, variations of long & short phrasing) - I know this is already a known & popular desired feature

    Thread of observations & questions about starting to use (cc ): - So far, it's an amazing structure! I feel very appetized to pour ideas into it - I don't get "decision paralysis" & frustration - unlike using tools that force organizational choices upfront

    As it happens I just wrote a comprehensive post on alexithymia! I was working on including treatments as well, but the article was becoming too long. So a post on alexithymia treatments (and a post on the alexithymic brain) is coming soon!

    Back to wizardry -- both the unpredictable risks of fumblewizardry, and predictable risks like "your motivation system will go offline while rebooting" discussed in the side branch How to relate to “Better not to start. If you start, better to finish"?

    Going to pull a side branch back into this main thread -- a lot of ideas here around "what is self-trust?" and different levels of working with that:

    To the extent that I'm quoting R.D. Laing at people I don't know, I may be engaging in attempted wizardry at this very moment, that could well lead to fumblewizard blunders! The risk of fumblewizardry may be unavoidable, for anyone trying to navigate a cultural meaning crisis

    Oh man, there's at least a 4th mode (& probably more). I dub it: "Fumblewizard" Unskillful attempts at leveling up students, resulting in some combination of chaos / tragedy / slapstick comedy / narrowly skirting the brink of doom / falling in and clawing one's way out / etc
