Frequently Asked Questions
Is it normal that different "versions" of me want different lives?
Yes. This is "Diversity Within the Self." Your "Creative Self" might want a cabin in the woods while your "Social Self" wants a city apartment. Recognizing this diversity allows you to stop the "Identity War." You don't have to "pick" one version to be the "real" you. You are the Structural Container that holds all these versions. This allows for a richer, more "dense" life that acknowledges all your complex needs.
How do I choose a life path if my "selves" disagree?
You look for the Highest Common Density. What choice allows the most "parts" of you to feel "seen" and "safe"? Instead of a "winner-take-all" choice, you look for a Compromise Structure. By acknowledging the diverse needs of your "selves," you make decisions that are more "narratively stable" and less likely to be sabotaged later by a "disregarded" part of your identity.
