There was this one moment a while back when I thought to myself, “okay, now I need to put myself in the head of a psychoanalyst”

That seems like a pretty essential starting place for thinking about ourselves, no?

… nah. Self developement is the place to be.

Yeah, I was kind of joking but the other day I was reading a thing about Ayn Rand and she said something like “psychoanalysts are the only people in the world who are happy to be considered unhappy because they don’t think human beings need to be constantly and perpetually miserable.” That was kind of the theme of her more self-deprecating stuff – things like “I am unhappy I am not a billionaire”
