I was telling a friend yesterday - I suspect I have a "poverty mindset" when it comes to time and energy:

"If every day is going to be overwhelming and exhausting and full of distractions and missed obligations and deadlines, how can I sleep?"

I know how ridiculous that sounds on paper, intellectually, but I suspect this is how my subconscious thinks about time+energy. V low-trust

(I do intend to fix this, and have been working on it for years. It's harder than quitting smoking or social media.)

It's interesting to think abt how things like this shape who I am as a person. Eg I'm obsessively curious about the inner world's of others

A big part of this is because I often feel like functioning in normal human society requires more effort for me than for other people

That's a very naive, solipsistic and ignorant worldview. So I try to falsify it. Been 10+ years. Insufficient data for meaningful answer :p

I often ask friends to introduce me to anybody that they think is similar to me. Oddly, in 10+ years, no close matches. I can't be unique

Part of my motivation to build a large body of written work online is really to use it as a beacon to attract people similar to myself

Doesn't really work if that's your goal. People do not read people they are similar to. They tend to read complementary people.
In fact there's a general like repels like thing in personalities I suspect

Yeah I guess I'll settle for complementary people then 😂 Probably what I actually want, anyway

I wonder if that's a personality trait:
Some personality types are attracted to similar ones. And others are attracted to complementary ones.
