Prince Abi! haha idk if I'm allowed to call you that, but I think it's a cute nickname. Just wanted to say that I was also raised mormon, and hearing you talk about your struggles with decision fatigue and with knowing/doing what you want reeeaaally resonated with me lol I've started describing this as a "weak center of gravity", like I get pulled out of alignment when I'm around other people and my own desires go completely out the window. Even on my own, it can be difficult knowing what I want. Definitely working through this with my therapist, but it's comforting and validating to hear you talk about your experiences!
The more people who think of me as a prince, the better. ;) I love the idea of the "weak center of gravity," as so much of life feels dizzy post-religion! I'm so glad to know I'm not alone (and also sad that it's happening to multiple people). Thank you to therapists everywhere for helping us muddle through this craziness!!
