If thinking, feeling and willing imply the existence of an animating but off-screen self-object, desiring does not. (The same might be said of loving as well.) But to say this is to distinguish between authentic desire, which 'just happens', and the other kind, call it mimetic desire, ego desire or desire driven by fear of missing out. These are all pretty much the same thing, except that in the case of mimetic desire there is an implication of a free-floating desire which must find an object to attach to, while for ego-desire, that the ego already exists and seeks consolidation, and for 'fomo' desire that desire itself is brought into play to alleviate a prior anxiety. In fact it is the oddly ego-less nature of desire which makes it so desirable.
