What if my \"sobriety\" is refusing anesthesia at the dentist because \"they are going to be working on my teeth either way, shouldn't I experience the authentic signals my body is built to send me?\" What if I'm refusing to drink coffee, take anti-inflammatory medicine, or even eat articifial sweetner just because they are \"inauthentic\"?\n\nSorry, I take criticism seriously too. I'm not going to be satisfied until I come up with some reasonable way to address the criticism. It doesn't matter to me whether that criticism comes from a close friend, from a stranger on the internet like you, or from my own imagination. Even if I don't change my actions there is always room to improve my reasoning."}
