  1. The Dance of Dissonance

    Sometimes 
    I find myself lost
    at the end of
    a confusing day
    trying to decipher labyrinthian relations
    and coming up short,
    suddenly wondering
    how a day I thought good
    was not for another,
    caught up in
    opposing realities
    where mine is suspect
    and empathy is a struggle.

    The brain fog
    of past illness
    has left its trailing
    fingers over my head
    like the cigarette smoke
    of the man I see one morning standing with his back to me on the dock outside the store where I used to work
    and I wonder why he is there.

    I am suspicious, feeling responsible for what is no longer mine to care about, so I observe, yet remain at a distance and leave without really discovering if his presence is innocent.

    Such is the dance of dissonance.
    I am close enough to see your back but too far to see your face clearly,
    afraid that if I look too closely I will not like what  I see or that I will recognize some ugly part of me.

    I want to hear
    that which runs
    counter to my experience
    but I must be honest and say that my capacity to understand the complexities of human behavior is diminishing.

    I long for circles that are completely safe,
    where the people I pass on the walk home illicit in me feelings other than fear,
    lust, guilt, or judgement,
    all of which mirror
    the overwhelming sense
    of dislike
    I feel from the
    world, and from myself perhaps.

    It is my inability to not receive everything personally, this overwhelming sadness,  unprotected by my hypervigilance, where I still seem to miss what is most important, and no matter how much I try to hold everything together, I cannot keep things from unraveling.

    How do I continue to remain caring and yet not take on burdens that are not mine to carry?

    This then is the strange choreography of relationship, the stumbling herky-jerky movements of a marionette pulled by invisible strings, revealed in the bright lights of another angry stage.

    Yet we dance.
    Through the pain of revelation.
    The occasional stepping on of toes.
    In the percieved exposure of audience eyes.
    Shedding these inadequate masks and costumes one by one.
    Finding our own rhythm in the strange movings of this particular
    circle of love.

  3. A quotation from Hoffer

    Self-contempt, however vague, sharpens our eyes for the imperfections of others. We usually strive to reveal in others the blemishes we hide in ourselves.

  5. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    No considerate man can approach marriage without deep concern. I, he will think, who have made hitherto so poor a business of my own life, am now about to embrace the responsibility of another’s. Henceforth, there shall be two to suffer from my faults; and that other is the one whom I most desire to shield from suffering.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 10.1 “Marriage”

  8. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    Never allow your mind to dwell on your own misconduct: that is ruin. The conscience has morbid sensibilities; it must be employed but not indulged, like the imagination or the stomach.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 7.1 “Discipline of Conscience”

  9. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    It is the business of this life to make excuses for others, but none for ourselves. We should be clearly persuaded of our own misconduct, for that is the part of knowledge in which we are most apt to be defective.

  10. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    Unless a man has talents to make something of himself, freedom is an irksome burden. Of what avail is freedom to choose if the self be ineffectual? We join a mass movement to escape individual responsibility, or, in the words of the ardent young Nazi, “to be free from freedom.” It was not sheer hypocrisy when the rank-and-file Nazis declared themselves not guilty of all the enormities they had committed. They considered themselves cheated and maligned when made to shoulder responsibility for obeying orders. Had they not joined the Nazi movement in order to be free from responsibility?

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman

    You know what the next move is. You've written it down. You've seen it across your journal entries. You keep almost making it. This isn't about fear or laziness. It's about waiting for readiness that only ever comes through the step itself. So make the step smaller.

  16. CW: Moody self-doubt-filled rambling about mastodon

    I don't think I'm going to keep posting on Mastodon. Maybe I just haven't made enough of an effort and I'm giving up too easily but to be honest, I just don't feel like I have strong enough of a personality right now to ever do what I hoped to come here to: make friends and cheer people up.

    When I posted here, replied, liked, interacted here, I didn't feel like I was connecting with someone, I felt like I was trying to infiltrate a community I have no place in. Everyone's already made their friends, everyone's already got their tight-knit groups, and I don't have anything I can offer that would make anyone care in the slightest; I might as well just upkeep my regular blog, since the only extra Mastodon seems to be giving me is insecurity by seeing everyone else just... Being someone worth being.

    This note is just to sate anyone's curiosity on why I'm not posting here, if that ever happens.

  22. How to Stop Self Sabotage

    You know exactly what you need to do. You have known for a while. And yet you keep not doing it.

    You procrastinate on the thing that matters most. You start and then stop. You get close to something good and then somehow find a way to mess it up. You make progress and then quietly undo it. You tell yourself you will start properly on Monday, or next month, or when things settle down, and they never do.

    This is self-sabotage. And it is not a personality flaw. It is not laziness. It is fear wearing a very convincing disguise.

    Why We Sabotage Ourselves

    Self-sabotage happens when part of you wants to move forward, and another part of you is terrified of what moving forward actually means.

    Maybe success would mean more responsibility, more visibility, more risk of failure at a higher level. Maybe the new version of you would not fit into the relationships and environments you have built your life around. Maybe deep down, you do not actually believe you deserve what you say you want.

    None of this is conscious. You do not sit down and decide to sabotage yourself. It is quieter than that. It shows up as distraction, as busyness, as suddenly finding ten other things that need doing right before you sit down to work on the thing that matters. It shows up as the argument you pick before a big opportunity, or the impulse to drink too much the night before something important.

    The behaviour looks irrational from the outside. But it makes perfect sense once you understand what it is actually protecting you from: the risk of really trying and still failing.

    The Patterns to Watch For

    Procrastination as protection. If you never fully commit to something, you never fully fail at it. Keeping things at the planning stage forever means you always have the option of saying you could have done it if you had really tried. That protection is costing you the actual thing you want.

    Self-destructive behaviour before high-stakes moments. Notice if you tend to drink more, sleep less, pick fights, or make impulsive decisions right before something important. This is not a coincidence. It is your nervous system trying to create a built-in excuse.

    Rejecting good things before they can reject you. Pulling away from relationships that are going well. Quitting jobs before you can be fired. Leaving before you can be left. This is self-sabotage disguised as independence.

    Perfectionism as an excuse not to start. If it has to be perfect before you begin, you will never begin. Perfectionism is not high standards. It is fear of being judged for something imperfect, so you produce nothing instead.

    How to Actually Break the Pattern

    The first step is awareness. You cannot change a pattern you cannot see. Start noticing when it happens. Not to judge yourself, but to get curious. What were you about to do before the sabotage kicked in? What specifically were you afraid of?

    The second step is to change the question you ask yourself. Instead of “why do I keep doing this,” which is a shame spiral, ask “what am I protecting myself from right now?” That question opens up something useful. It treats the sabotage as information rather than evidence of your worthlessness.

    The third step is to take the smallest possible action in the direction you want to go. Not the whole thing. Not a perfect version of it. The smallest thing. Momentum is built by doing, not by thinking about doing. Every small action you complete tells your nervous system that moving forward is survivable.

    This is not a quick fix. These patterns are usually deeply rooted and do not disappear after one insight. But they do change with consistent, honest attention over time. And they change faster when you have someone helping you see what you cannot see yourself.

    Ready to stop getting in your own way? I work with men who can see the pattern but need help actually breaking it. Book a free 30-minute call and let’s get into it.

  23. I still am figuring out how to manage time(ahem procrastination). Certain things makes me stay awake at night when I'm so much into them, but many doesn't.

    I guess the problem of my procrastination is because I'm afraid of a #project being a #failure or any type of failure/ imperfect outcome.

  26. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    But when thoughts and words are collected and adjusted, and the whole composition at last concluded, it seldom gratifies the author, when he comes coolly and deliberately to review it, with the hopes which had been excited in the fury of the performance: novelty always captivates the mind; as our thoughts rise fresh upon us, we readily believe them just and original, which, when the pleasure of production is over, we find to be mean and common, or borrowed from the works of others, and supplied by memory rather than invention.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1754-03-02), The Adventurer, No. 138

Hey man, I don’t know if you need to hear this, but if you’ve gone #NoContact with toxic family members, I know that today can be especially difficult, bringing feelings of #guilt and #SelfDoubt, as well as pressure from others to re-expose yourself to #abuse because “we’re family, and it’s #Christmas.” I just want you to know that #holiday sentiments are only that, & don’t justify toxicity & abuse. Forgiveness may be divine but forgetting is for suckers. My heart goes out to you. You matter.

  38. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    For behind the unwillingness to judge lurks the suspicion that no one is a free agent, and hence the doubt that anyone is responsible or could be expected to answer for what he has done. The moment moral issues are raised, even in passing, he who raises them will be confronted with this frightful lack of self-confidence and hence of pride, and also with a kind of mock-modesty that in saying, Who am I to judge? actually means We’re all alike, equally bad, and those who try, or pretend that they try, to remain halfway decent are either saints or hypocrites, and in either case should leave us alone.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Essay (1964-08), “Personal Responsibility Under Dictatorship,” The Listener Magazine
