I think I might be living by urges alone. Whenever I see something about “goals” or “self-discipline” or “self-improvement” I immediately shut down and get miserable. My brain says “I don’t want to, dammit!” Of course, people tell me I am self-disciplined, but I see that as merely being practical; if it makes any sense, I’m willing to be practical but severely freaked out by aspirational or normative thinking.
