@birdeye21 I'm so glad for you. I went through the same realization just yesterday. 33 years old, christ.

But I wouldn't call it "ignoring" your inner demon (meaning, the thing that is taboo for you, e.g. being selfish, being arrogant). I suspect that like me, you had no idea that you were ignoring anything att all. And kept getting confused when you suddenly behaved irrationally? That's what happened to me at least. Great post.

Peterson talks often about fighting your demons. I never realized they were so hard to find. But now that I see mine... Well i won't be humble about it! :D
