@not_a_hot_girl it reads like a list of "doing things to yourself" which scans as a list of ways to avoid doing things in the real world. Too much introspection is like too much note-taking: it promotes "collecting" (in this case thoughts about yourself) over doing and simply being.

if you don't spend time getting to know yourself, you'll end up absorbing everyone else random and weird ideas about you. knowing who you are on a very deep level is the best way to protect yourself from internalizing disempowering opinions from others.
