first, i think i subconsciously started to pump the brakes when i started quarantining i had recently made a couple of meaningful breakthroughs during vipassana course, but it felt untactful to put “evergreen” feelings stuff on the tl (which at the time was 99% covid posts)https://twitter.com/choosy_mom/status/1237403372866531328 …

probably more importantly though, i started to notice that my new insight porn and self-therapy habits weren’t fundamentally changing my behaviors otoh it hasn’t been very long since i’ve encountered this memespace, and i do think it’s likely to change me in the long runhttps://twitter.com/choosy_mom/status/1239940293794787330 …

in any case, i’ve begun to worry that it’s counterproductive to endlessly consume and develop more fine-tuned models for things like “human interaction” or “how to be successful” i.e. clinically psychoanalyzing social situations often makes you worse at social situations

i think this fear is why i’ve been posting less, and mostly just dumb jokes jokes are fun and they get me my dopamine fix, but i miss posting about feelings

also on second thought, it’d be pretty dishonest and conceited for me to think that i’m done sorting all of these feelings out (it’s likely that this ^ is self-indulgent post hoc rationalization) mostly, i just miss earnestly interacting with y’all

so i’m publicly setting an intention to poast and reply more feels much love to everyone who gives their wisdom and warmth to this corner of twitter
