In what meaningful ways have you changed over the last 10 years?

Ten years ago, I was essentially a 28-year-old teenager. I was becoming more aware that I needed to change, grow, and mature and was trying to figure out ways to do it, but I just wasn't there back then.

Nowadays...

• I'm more bold and decisive
• I'm more thick-skinned
• I'm more comfortable in my own skin and less anxious
• I don't hold grudges quite as much
• I'm better at handling and engaging conflict and confrontation (though I'd still generally prefer to avoid it)
• I'm more logical and complete in my thinking
• My vocabulary has expanded quite a lot
• My handshake is more firm and I'm a lot better at looking someone in the eye when I'm speaking to them
• I don't give as many unnecessary details about things... or I can at least catch myself...
• I'm more at peace with not having an answer for everything
• I don't use "um", "like", "you know", and other such filler words as much

I'm also more mature in my faith than I was then.

I'm sure there are others, but I think that will suffice for now.

10 years ago... I was "starting" a venture

nowadays, it's much more stablished and stable...

not exactly about me... but it's part of me and what I've made

Hmm. I don't know. Perhaps more open to dating. I wasn't open to dating or to registering that a guy was flirting with me. Now I'm more aware of it.

[RepleteAura]

What changed for that to happen? Or was it gradual?

[DishLady]

It happened about 2-3 years ago. I really don't know. I was minding my own business and one afternoon BLAMO. We can say the stars aligned or whatever. I have no idea.

We change subconsciously a lot over time so I could see it :) good for you for being in touch with what you want

I feel like I've become more understanding and patient in the last 10 years. Although, I had quite mature thoughts 10 years ago as well.

I have never stopped learning and educating myself, so I am always moving forward in one way or another.

10 years ago I was in middle school, I have totally changed in every way. I've had to.

Makes sense lots of changes in that time
