"I walk with others in me yearning to get out
Claw at my skin and gnash their teeth and shout
One of them wants only to be someone you'd admire
One would as soon just throw you on the fire

After all is said and after all is done
God only knows which of them I'll become"

@the_mel_jar @DrWinarick Maybe you were implying this with the first line of your post, but the phrase “he couldn’t contain himself” seems to capture exactly this!
And you could say this is quite common behavior in Twitter replies

@KSPrior Hey, that’s a sin!

[fogged up @up_fogged]

@FreudandBeyond I like that

@love__relations For some reason the first thing that comes to mind is little girl Cosette’s fantasy of a Castle On a Cloud in Les Mis:

There is a lady all in white,
Holds me and sings a lullaby,
She's nice to see and she's soft to touch,
She says "Cosette, I love you very much."

@FeistyKittyPie “TOO MUCH!”

Psychoanalytic ball knowers—

Can anyone recommend some good writings about defenses against anger for someone just getting into anger?

“Parents must not only have certain ways of guiding by prohibition and permis-sion; they must also be able to represent to the child a deep, an almost somatic conviction that there is a meaning to what they are doing.”

“Instincts on rampage balk at investigation. The minute we make a serious attempt to probe them, we are liable to suffer severe reactions.”

@DoctorPerin I really read that as “hurting them will not heal your back pain” at first…

The perennial fantasy of undifferentiated, umbilical unity of thought and perception …. aka psychosis? 🤗

[LM Sacasas @LMSacasas]

This at least has the advantage of tying together various strands that feed into the anti-humanism at the root of the techno-economic order: an obsession with efficiency/productivity, a distaste for the embodied human condition, and a desire for magical frictionlessness.

For a clear glimpse of my idealized self, look no further than the unread books on my Goodreads shelf

(cont.) Of course it usually comes up in conflict with loved ones!

[fogged up @up_fogged]

After being a therapist for a few years and also being in my own therapy, I take for granted that my words likely have layers of meaning, including unintended/unconscious. But I meet many people who insist their words be taken at face value and nothing more, (1/2)

[fogged up @up_fogged]

(2/2) and seem to genuinely believe there is nothing beyond or below the literal words spoken. In therapy I have ways of confronting that, but I don’t know how to challenge it in my personal life.

@JDVance You are a bad, bad person. Shame on you, wormtongue.

@jefffinethomas Projective identification 😓

I get why some people (my mom), as they age, only want to watch sentimental stuff that doesn’t push the real life pain buttons too hard

[fogged up @up_fogged]

One of the unexpected punishments for cheating has got to be the prevalence of cheating in tv and movies… probably makes a good 25% of stuff v uncomfortable to watch if not unwatchable.
