Deliberately by accident: When I do it on purpose, it works. Sometimes, I have the impulse to, decide I shouldn’t, and then I do it anyway.
For example, I think this conversation should be about introductions, not me, at least until I settle on how I think the introduction should go. I could easily make it about me, though—I almost did so, accidentally. Specifically, about how I hijack threads without meaning to.

I in fact can’t stand the taste of peas. Except fresh ones, as in, I just picked them, which are great.
To provide a starting point—a ‘this is what I choose to say about myself’ - which gives other people some information about your beliefs, personality, and other elements of identity.
My problem is that I find introductions are mainly error. That said you’ve made me think of some things that I can do that should at least be worthwhile, even if not really introduction-y.
Edit: also revealed that one of my heuristics is being inconsistently applied.

Ah—so it’s deliberately, including when you feel you shouldn’t but want to in any case. Your definition of ‘by accident’ differs from mine (I define ‘by accident’ as undeliberate and almost always unexpected).
