That meritocracy cop wants you to feel shame when someone is overwhelming you and you probably will. That shame is visceral, immediate, reflexive. Because you want to belong and be thought of and be cared for. It turns the beautiful things about what you want into a weapon you use against yourself again and again. Don't let it. Replace it. It's noxious and against our humanity to beat each other up with supposed intelligence. It's at the core of human society to collaborate instead.
