answering the question "why do i do what i do?" seems kinda hopeless- creating a simple narrative of cause & effect, confabulating as needed to satisfy subconscious desires to see myself as reasonable & kind & intelligent... and then what do I do with this model of myself?
and the % of weight that comes down to things like: - i was hungry / thirsty / tired - i was bored / avoiding other things - i wanted to feel connection / that ppl like me & understand me - i got frustrated and impatient... 🤷♀️
