How have you changed over the years?

I’d like to think I used to be a good person. I used to give people the Benefit of the doubt. When anyone and my mum said anything bad about someone , I’d tell her I don’t want to know. These days I create strong opinions about people and I have become judgmental and not in a good way. I accept I may be wrong at times , but I can’t help form these opinions. It doesn’t feel like the old me

I feel like I’ve become calmer.

When I was younger, everything had to happen at once. Every feeling, every whim, every thought had to be acted upon immediately or I’d feel very impatient and restless.
Now, I’m able to calm myself down and analyze things before I do anything drastic or tell myself I feel something I really don’t feel.

I don’t feel like the old me either.
I used to be fast-thinking and able to take control when needed. However, after years of abusive relationships and abusing drugs, it feels like my brain has slowed down and my confidence is very low. It’s starting to go upwards again, but it’s taking a long time. I’m still not able to just take charge like I used to :confused:

I’m a lot shorter now than I was 5 years ago. And I don’t cut my toenails as often as I used to.

hmmmm Not sure. I guess others can can tell if you have changed.
It is okay to make judgments you know, we are only human. Sometimes i get so mad at the littlest things which are not important.

Just be happy and focus on what makes you better.

I have matured some, intellectually. I’ve lost a pretty fair amount of physical strength. I’m a little more contented with my life. I think I might be less judgemental.

Having strong opinions is better than having no opinion, in my humble opinion.

sz made me more empathic because sz brings suffering.

I’ve recently become a noticeably bigger loser to my voices and to the people that are reading my thoughts according to my delusion. The voices have become harsher and my motivation to do what I need to do has become worse. This has come at a time when my physical health and even my mental health has improved and I am hearing the voices less. I have also made huge strides in my potential career that could lead to a better income and better life. It’s like a they are pushing back against me improving my life and people are even getting angry or animated in real life such as co-workers and family. It’s tough to keep a lid on this lately and it’s hard to convince myself it’s not real.
