Had a convo w my ex and realized low agency people get dopamine from fantasizing about the life they want and they gain the same fulfilment without actually completing anything. Step 1 to nerfing ur life trajectory
They often think they’re an untapped unconventional kind of smart and that it’s special they have tons of ideas (that they never see to completion). Repulses me to hear about it
My ex situationship was a very successful guy that sometimes would stutter during dirty talk but had a confidence that somehow neutralized the cringe. Valuable lesson for me and my self esteem that the outcome matters less than just owning the choices you make
High-agency people seem to have this weird immunity to embarrassment.
Getting rejected? Not embarrassing, that’s just data collection.
Looking naive? Not embarrassing, that’s just information asymmetry you’re fixing.
Breaking minor social rules? Not embarrassing, most rules are just Schelling points anyway.
What would be embarrassing to them is not trying. That’s the thing they can’t live with.
I met an extremely high functioning schizophrenic the other day at a pitch competition. Tons of crazy ppl walk among us everyday and beyond that they get into rooms
A good rule is to never take out your phone to show someone a thing you’re talking about.
No matter what it is, it will ruin the convo 100% of the time.
