I've had a few friends privately tell me that they're struggling to have and exert a sense of self - Is this common for your mid-twenties? Or is it a societal movement? (I think it's correlated with atomization, and also a common step on the way to self-authoring)

Hmm. That was a surprisingly anxiety provoking question. (This isn't your fault and is largely a good thing for me to know). Hard to answer for sure. I end up outsourcing motivation and positive emotions to other people a lot, or just winging things and seeing what happens.

Part of the problem with answering is that I think the idea of a sense of self has a bunch of plausible different meanings and the question of how strong my sense of self is varies quite a lot based on which one you mean.
