There are cognitive setups/ thinking styles that don't require you to take pride or like/ dislike things about yourself. For instancing focusing on goals, achieving what you find valuable or improving your skills because you find mastery pleasing. Being happy we achieved something, but no feelings of being proud.
Using a different cognitive setup avoids you being played along by your own feelings of wounded pride or growing a sense of being better than others. Because these things are irrelevant/ not in focus then. It's not about being a robot, just about thinking differently. But we learn from a very young age to be embarrassed when we're wrong, to compare ourselves to others and to be proud of ourselves when we accomplish whatever the adults thought good at the time (-> if your reply was in relation to mine, if not disregard this).
I was talking to someone else, so I was surprised to see a response from you; but thank you for investing time in one.

But it doesn't seem to address what I was addressing. I guess you were addressing what you thought I was addressing from the angle of the thing you thought I was addressing, but since I was addressing someone else and something else, then no wonder I am as confused as likely i have just left you from my address.
Plus, uh, thanks for sharing about your enormous attributes. If you have something so large to contribute, it's likely to be uncomfortable to keep something so immense under wraps.

Sometimes size doesn't matter, but in other cases size generates more sighs.
it with a delightful arrogant cherry on top.
Don't forget the whipped scream.
... I was talking about how the discussion was about preferences and instead it became exclusively about processes for you to the degree you seemed dismissive of preferences in general. But forget it, I've been down this road a few times before and it never led anywhere productive.
