Anonymity

This is exactly what I need. There are so many things I need to change. I’ve been pretending for so long and it’s all overwhelming. This will be my anonymous chronicle of my problems and what I’m doing to fix it.

-I drink too much.

-I lie chronically.

-I’m immensely depressed.

-I’m bordering on the line of an eating disorder.

-I’m afraid I don’t believe in God.

-I’m selfish.

-I am incredibly unhealthy.

If anyone reads this, I’d love help. Or to help you. Accountabilibuddies.

No one can do this alone. That’s the problem with pretending.

An exercise in being flawed

One of my favorite blogs is Joshua Becker's estimable Becoming Minimalist, which promotes a simple life based on meaning and purpose rather than the blind accumulation of things (the marketing model of happiness, if you will). Perhaps it struck a chord with me at a time I needed to hear the music, to remind me of a lesson I had learned in a natural disaster.

I know quite a few people who do not fall easily into this characterization, who, if anything, go out of their way to paint themselves in ugly hues. They air their dirty laundry, they make snarky remarks about how nice it must be to be able to travel, they blame their children for the insufficiency of their adult lives. I assume that their posts are a misguided attempt to curry empathetic responses from their similarly kooky friends.

Who in their right minds (see my first point) would want to represent themselves unflatteringly? Social media plays out like a job interview or a first date: We want to put our best features out there and hide or diminish our foulest, most disappointing moments. Why would you post a half-lidded photo of yourself or admit that you botched the job interview? What value could there be in taking yourself down a peg?

What value indeed? I often hear the phrase “self-deprecating” said in a favorable light. It makes us more human to not be relentlessly self-aggrandizing and the humanizing makes us more approachable, more likable, more honest, more attractive. More authentic or so it goes. Maybe. It depends on the eye of the beholder. But I do think that it is hard to grow if you don't know where you are deficient. So, as an exercise in better understanding myself, here are eight really good flaws of mine.

Anger – I get angry all the time because I take everything that everyone does personally. You cut me off because you're trying to be a jerk to me. It takes a certain solipsistic arrogance to assume that everything that happens in this world is because of you, regardless of whether those things are good or bad.

Envy – I hate that you've got better stuff than I do. I hate that you've traveled to places I've never been or even considered going. I hate that you have an attractive girlfriend, a sports car, an expensive watch, and an Armani suit. I don't care if you can't afford it and if you're going into debt to get it, I just hate that you have it and I don't. Even if I don't really want it.

Distractibility – I have the attention span of a toddler. I jump from one aspiration to the next, never giving any of them the attention they deserve. None of them get accomplished.

Self-indulgence – I drink too much. I eat garbage processed food. I watch really terrible televisions for hours a day. I check Facebook and Instagram every five minutes. If I have an urge, I indulge it.

Laziness – My inertia is a bitch mistress. I'd say more about her, but, ugh. It's easier just to sit here and not type.

Self-criticism – If it's not perfect, it's not worth it at all. I cannot tell you how many false starts I've had in areas such as self-improvement or fitness due entirely to the fact that, once I had failed my initial substantive planning, I threw up my hands unwilling to have a imperfect lump of clay on my wheel.

Fear – I'm terrified of pretty much everything: Water, heights, embarrassment, disapproval, disagreement, hummingbirds, other people driving too fast, blood pressure tests, shots, pills, surgery, dying in a video game, asking a dumb question home-invaders, my children waking up early and interrupting my sleep. Some of these fears are rational, but in the context of the other fears, I think I'm taking a step too far.

Superiority – I'm kind of dick to people because I'm pretty sure that, despite items 1 through 7 on this list, I'm better than every other person in this world. I'm smarter than they are, better looking, hipper, wiser in the ways of the world, more fortunate, and healthier.

And so it goes.  I am flawed.  Now, I'm not a Buddhist, but I really like Thich Nhat Hahn's symmetric characterization of the Four Noble Truths.  In it he breaks down them like this:

We suffer.

We suffer because of our bad attitudes and the wrong-headed things we do/don't do.

We can stop the suffering.

We can stop the suffering by having the right attitude and doing/not doing right-headed things.

Number 4, in the Buddhist case, is the Eight-Fold Path.  Again, I'm not a buddhist so the particulars of the Eight-Fold Path is less important to me than the recognition that I could make my life better if I stopped doing the things that make me miserable (see my eight flaws above), and start doing things that make me, and by extension others, happier.

Let's see if I can use my understanding of my own flaws to follow my own Eight-Fold Path towards a brighter future.
