ive found that simply shifting focus, and forcing a sort of psychic split between different operational modes is very helpful. you suffer because you are too self-conscious and seek after some contained whole to ground yourself in, when such a whole doesnt exist. you identity is really just a fragmented assemblage of different functions, habits, and states of perception that shifts between situations, contexts, moods, etc. thinking of myself in this way has enabled me to be a highly functional person despite my own overly self-conscious and introspective nature
