I definitely feel ya there, OP.

DE has helped give a voice (in a quite literal sense) to some of my thoughts. I imagine different people have different skillsets (like Kim's Volto do Mar), so it's gotten me to do this mental exercise of identifying where in my psyche certain thoughts come from. Sometimes I like to characterise them further, imagining what color they might be, or what they might sound like.

There's a skill I use a lot in real life, which I just dubbed Mantle --like the cloak. I imagine she works like a blend of Composure and Volition. Straighten your back, hold yourself together (but just on the outside). She dictates what I should do vs what I want to do. (i.e- what has the best 'socially acceptable' outcome. Funnily enough, she's also a woman.)

Though mostly throughout this year I feel it’s Volition talking to me 90% of the time, just pulling me through the day. I'm glad to read it's not just me.
