I often have to remind myself that scorn is a bullshit response I learned from having things forced on me as a child, and that very few people exercise any meaningful power over me anymore.
So there is rarely a reason to be scornful, other than habit.

There is a big lacuna between compulsive behavior and habit. Behaviourally, they're almost indistinguishable - but the motivational structure is different.
