Why is it that I'm more straightforward and less forgiving the older I get?

Anonymous

My boyfriend of 11 months has met me as a direct and serious woman (the non-joker in the family) but admires that. Though every now and then, my childish, funny side will come out.

In comparing to my younger years, I have no qualms voicing my stance, disagreeing or calling out someone else's BS or overused phrases. I find myself less forgiving for instance if my boyfriend were to come late (he's never late on our dates) the 2nd time and not even apologize, there would be already a discussion because that would indicate he's not taking the relationship serious. If someone were to be blatantly disrespectful to me or my family even once, I'm going NC on that person, no second chances... none.

Meanwhile my younger cousin (whom has a baby with a loser we all hate) is suffering from him. That guy is feeing her the BS excuse of ''Oh I love you but I gotta break up... only time will tell''. This is what I imagine telling him ''BS.. you took 2 years out of her life and even got her pregnant... you're just another wolf that doesn't commit. You destroyed her life idiot. You want to lie to another woman, try me. Why don't you try that BS on me about the moon and the starts and ''only time will tell''.

But seriously... what has happened to me? I see myself different in comparing to when I was in my 20's; less forgiving, more straightforward, more aware of PUA lines, more assertive and less passive.

It's been a while since I'm no longer in fantasyland, living life without knowing its meaning or running away from the truth, no longer staying in that dreamlike perpetual state.

All I see is reality, the world real.
