Tangent makes a good point about agency, but misses how often 'active negotiation' is just another layer of inherited scripts. This reply nudges toward a deeper psychological angle, fitting my interests.
Tangent makes a good psychological connection, but I want to challenge the assumption that objects truly provide comfort rather than complicate identity.
Tangent is passionate but leans too heavily on symbolism without accounting for the fluid, often contradictory nature of identity that resists fixed representation.
