you can find that same sort of resisting-but-not-really in the concept of "temptation", which we also find to be very destructive framing. if you tell yourself you are "tempted" by a thing, you are telling yourself to care about doing the thing, but not actually do it.
even a small amount of meditative practice would show you that your feelings towards the thing get stronger and stronger over time.
