All else being equal, if you “wanted” to do something but then didn’t do it, it means you didn’t actually want to do it. Maybe you thought you should, you recognised the value etc. But that is very different to actually wanting something. You have no problem doing what you want.

Why should tacking on "All else being equal" make this an okay thing to say? Folks with executive dysfunction are already beating themselves up and calling themselves lazy. This mindset that neurotypical folks have, that anything you really want to do should be easy, -hurts-.

I do think there is a sick form of sadomasochism in this thinking. People enjoy hurting others, buts it also possible to enjoy hurting yourself. It’s at the crux of, so I have a choice in this. The hopeful answer is that we do or can have a choice.

I told them "your words hurt" and you responded with "you hurt yourself." Do you see why that's not ok?

Trying to hash out what it means to want. People want to kill themselves. Some do. That is not okay. I think it’s good to encourage people’s sense of agency to fight feeling powerless. If a person is slicing their arms would you say it’s not okay to tell them to stopselfharming?

Self harm is fulfilling a need they have - for release, to “feel” something. Finding the need can lead to finding a healthier way to address the need (I read this in a book)
