"there are a number of things you can do to become resilient, but none of them are going to come of your actively choosing that you *WANT* to become more resilient"

unfortunately, the opportunity to become more resilient is never something you consent to.

seems questionable. people are identified as engaging in "self-destructive behavior" all the time, which seems like it could be as easily read as intentional resilience building

I can assure you, through years of experience, that the only "resilience" self-destruction brings is learning how to repeatedly pull yourself back from the metaphorical cliff edge you nearly flung yourself over

yeah idk that's how I'm thinking about it too. I guess some sense of positive/constructive resilience is what I mean by resilience. idk, maybe I'm missing something?

hm. consider a plan of: 1. identify a situation where one responds to stressors with fragility 2. develop an idea of how to respond more resiliently 3. intentionally expose self to situation 4. evaluate idea, refine, repeat is this not intentional resilience development?

this seems more like a process of infohazardously cucking yourself into complacency

if you're just exposing yourself again and again and gradually changing yourself to adapt to it, it seems like situation winning over you. sure a nuanced approach of going in with an idea, one that you gradually refine, to reach a mutually palatable compromise can be good.

I feel like I'm questioning whether this works because that mindset in and of itself seems like a feature of resiliency. true resilience or something requiring discomfort to truly acquire

that sounds more like having hard (brittle?) boundaries than resilience? like, in the classic blah blah about the tree that bends before the wind and the one that breaks, the one that bends is resilient, in the usage as i understand it

like, resilience isn't the ability to keep everything out, it's integrity of function when things are getting in
