"negativity speaks to the fact that life, in some sense, doesn't 'work', is structurally inimical to happiness, stability, or regulated functioning, and that only the repetitive working through of what still doesn't work in the end - or works only until the radically nonrelational erupts from within it once more—constitutes the condition in which something like flourishing could ever happen."
"Being normal is a nervous place, because you can never finish performing your relation to it; on the other hand, being comfortable is also another way of thinking about what normativity provides, because if you can pass as normal then you can scoot under the radar. The whole question of how you lubricate the social never stops being difficult, and it never stops being a matter of shame, because when one confronts one’s ambivalence and incoherence one feels in a bad faith relation to the model of ethical solidity we expect from ourselves. But what if we just trained ourselves to accept that all of us are incoherent, subject to a variety of aversive and connective impulses that we are always managing? The social then would be a totally different space of intimacy and anxiety. "
