Watching myself not change despite a decade of extremely taxing efforts to change has made me believe that I might never change and I’m not really hearing or seeing evidence to the contrary. Idk. I want to be ambitious and have higher standards and aspirations for myself, and I realize that this sort of resignation is usually just a defense mechanism and a lazy excuse to lower your expectations of yourself and resign any agency. I get that. but at what point should I just look at the empirical facts of what my entire life has consisted of and take the hint and realize it’s not in the cards because something in my head is just broken
