Sitting here trying to poke at my resistance to writing a c&f (or a profile
bio, or anything that requires summary, really) and the objections are
falling into two broad categories.
First: It's...difficult...for me to make the necessary viewpoint shift to
see what is worth writing about. (And now my brain has sidetracked to a
clip from The Prince of Egypt, potentially useful, it ties in
somehow, not sure how yet. Maybe I'll come back to that.) The 'weird
quirks', as you put it; I don't know what is genuinely weird, what's normal
variation, and what's stunningly mundane. And I really don't want to waste
time talking about the obvious, which leads into
Second: I get...twitchy...about being perceived as not carrying my share of
the weight, being a slacker, making other people do the work. C&F post
feels like a notice to the world of 'here are the things I expect you to
change to accommodate me.' And that just feels...arrogant and an
imposition; it's my quirks, not yours, what makes me think I have
the right to dictate how the social interactions need to go.
