I do not believe we "choose" our polarity in the way you seem to imply here. I believe The Choice is made via the attitude we have towards all catalysts.
So to the question then, if one truly makes the best efforts one can to "get along/thrive" better with other-selves, this is positively polarizing and so it is in itself part of "choosing" our polarity.

I do not believe anyone can consciously switch polarity during an incarnation, if that is what you mean. An unconscious switch can happen depending on how you lived your incarnation, but we only find out after we died.

Yes I believe the illusion into which we come has a very great influence on our choices. Wanderers are no exception. We only carry a bias of where we were on the path before the incarnation.
Yet in my current incarnation this positive bias has served me well within the maelstrom of this planet.
I can remember ever since I was 6 years old that I could not understand how God could have permitted evil to exist and I have spent my whole incarnation trying to understand why evil exists if God is a God of love. This intense seeking is what has shown me at some point that the evil I was judging was also a part of me (it is in fact a part of everyone). So I was judging a part of myself to be unacceptable. There was work needed in the area of integrating the shadow self. This is also the case for almost everyone as far as I know. So then while doing this work it came to me the path that I had travelled to get here. But I will note here that it is difficult for me to differentiate if this comes from the individual entity that I am or from myself as a social memory complex or myself from an even higher vantage point. But I guess that at that level it does not make any difference. And of course at the highest level, all of us are all polarities and did all the deeds done in all of the multiverse.
I would disagree, as the way it was presented to me by my guides was very much a conscious decision. I’ve heard people argue that the choice is an unconscious one before, but that would seem to lessen the impact and importance of polarization while also reducing it to a game of chance. At least from where I’m standing.
That is not to say it is a choice as simple as what socks to wear today, or which restaurant to eat out at. You need to be able to fully align your Will with your Desire. Which in turn requires a great deal of introspection, meditation, spiritual exploration and the like.
Perhaps this is the difference in the STS/STO view? A dominant/passive approach to polarization? I personally find the idea of stumbling in the dark to be far less enjoyable than steering the ship myself.
I’m not saying that you are necessarily incorrect or that you aren’t actively forging your own path either. From a certain perspective embracing the flow of certainty is it’s own form of power/control. It’s just a path/belief I’ve seen talked about more by STO oriented individuals and not one I’ve ever felt drawn to/subscribed to as an STS oriented individual.
