I saw my earlier selves as different people, acquaintances I had outgrown. I wondered how I could ever have been some of them.

if an aid of any kind helps you to live a more functional life, don’t deny yourself that help. especially if you think this aid makes you lazy. it doesn’t. other people who don’t need this aid to function more easily will tell you otherwise. don’t believe them. they haven’t ever needed it yet, but if they do, there’s no shame in that.

in general I find that "why did someone behave this way" is almost always answered by "behaving otherwise was too difficult and frightening for them at the time," and then you have to dig into why that is. people behave in ways that feel 1. easy for them (do not require much thought or effort) 2. accessible to them (patterns that have worked many times before) and 3. safe for them (apparently predictable outcome)

this is true even for behavior that is absolutely horrific and totally unacceptable. which can be a tough thing to accept, I think.
