Enlightening.
I’ve heard all these phrases before - but never thought about their inter-relationships.
The diagram is superb in making those relationships clear and provides another level of wisdom.
However, it’s possible that words such as ‘exaggeration’ or ‘overcompensation’ could be seen to reflect a set of judgements over which quote is the ‘right’ place to be.
I think each is a valid place we might occupy at different times in our life. I’ve sometimes found myself adopting Seneca’s view of life!
Your diagram, for me, provides a map of subjectivity/preception and might be a real help to 1) highlight where your perception is at present 2) show there are other ways of looking at things (equally valid) 3) give hints on how one might transition perspective.
Of course, this might sound too close to Jamesian pragmatism for your tastes. I would view it as a map of perception - similar to deBono’s Flowcapes (which never really caught on).
