How have you changed?

[MementoMori777]

This goes for anyone and in general, just give an example, it's a moment of honesty and self awareness so weither you changed for the better or for the worse, it's moment of realization, you can go anon if you prefer, again it's for self awareness

[AviatorTom]

When I was younger, everything was black and white to me, there was no middle ground; I took a stance and stuck with it. As I've aged, I've learned that most things are shades of gray (not the book or movie) that often require compromise, and I've gotten better at that.

[MementoMori777]

That's good bro, you should be proud of your changes bro 💯

I think it happened when the person whom I value a lot left me and made me realize I was nothing without them. I used to spend my whole day with them, doing what they want and be with them. But I didn't know who I was. After they left me, everything has changed. I started to look for myself but also I needed time to heal. At this moment, it has been like two years, I am still healing but I realize that I need time to find my path and all is good. Just look for yourself...

I read too much book (classics) in the high school. Then I never returned back to being normal

[MementoMori777]

I mean... you aren't hurting anybody so I don't really think that's a bad thing

[18Uma21]

I'm hurting myself a lot. I still consider this as hurting someone

[MementoMori777]

There is no normal, normal is a persona, people try to follow that persona and try to be normal but normal is only a point of view, if you like your classic books then that's your hobby, why do you say it hurts you?

[MementoMori777]

Normal is suppose to be something that's routine the same and constantly the same which leads to something or someone being normal because it's the same as the rest but if you think of it, all humans are different physically and mentally so normal is invalid cause no one is normal

[18Uma21]

You're basically saying "even normal people are not all that normal" like Sigmund Freud said

[MementoMori777]

Exactly

[MementoMori777]

Normal is a perspective, it doesn't exist, humans created it, our path and future is unwritten, normality would mean that everything we do has to be written and we would have to the same thing to be normal, we all make choices that write our future so nothing is normal cause everything is different

[MementoMori777]

Normal is a simple minded perspective because normal stuff wasn't normal until people claimed it to be normal, If the first person to drink water drank it through their nose and everyone copied it then everyone would think the normal way to drink water is through the nose, you get what I'm saying? Lol

[18Uma21]

Hahaha true

[SnowedIn]

I've become both more and less patient as I've grown older.

[MementoMori777]

I felt that dude, are you planning on working on your patience or are you just going to see where the lack of patience takes you?

[SnowedIn]

Yeah, great question. For the most part it has been good change. I've become much more patient in the right areas. Less patient with things I don't feel compelled to put a lot of effort in: whining, bad drivers, people who are late, -- little things like that. None of it controls me, none of it makes me angry. Just small things that I just don't like, perhaps, and thus are less patient with.

[MementoMori777]

Oh that's good then, patience also depends on the mood so there's that lol

[SnowedIn]

ALWAYS! You are so right about that. Mood, however, I have become better at as I've aged, as well as the connection between the two. Incremental improvement.

[Nikki1989]

I can't do meaningless chit-chat anymore, especially sex talk.

[MementoMori777]

I'm actually glad to hear that, very respectable choice 💯
