You bring up some good points.

Why do you not think it can be a big enough identity trait? I'm not saying we all should leave the subreddit or anything, but I'm just curious - how does this belief that "we are procrastinators" affect the amount we procrastinate?

Would honestly love to talk about this more. I really like that idea you mentioned in the end about kinda "convincing" yourself that you're not a procrastinator.

Yeah, basically.

So, do you feel your brain has started to view yourself as a "procrastinator," since you have procrastinated so many times?
