If you end up with magical powers but you don't ever use them, except maybe on accident, that's not violating the Jewish prohibition on casting magic, right? It's fine, right?

Look, obviously I don't know everything, but I think there's a difference in "actively not thinking too hard about things for the sake of convenience" and "accidentally doing something because you had no idea it was even going to happen".

Isn't that second one what a lot of us are dealing with?

You're right. I'd never judge anyone else for being in this situation.

I've got problems with doubting myself more than I really should as well.

You're in good company.

It's not something I'd wish on anyone else.

I hope I'm not imposing much, but...if you need to talk about this or literally anything else, I'm always open.

I know it's not much, but I'm trying to do my best here.
