ABSTRACT
Impulsivity and verbal incontinence
Previously, I was more politically correct. Now unless I’m careful I can be like a child – I come out with the first thing that comes to mind, whether it’s appropriate or not. Sometimes this causes problems in relationships, which means I make a serious effort to control it.
Also, I sometimes notice myself interrupting people. This is sometimes due to impulsivity, but very often has to do with my fear of forgetting.
Tendency to passivity
While I might make every effort in the world to move, do activities, overcome challenges, if I let my true nature take over now, unlike before, I have an incredible tendency to passivity. I need to structure my time with extreme external organisation so that this doesn’t happen. I often need someone to give me nudge or invite me to do things. I try to make plans ahead of time, but I find it difficult because this way of doing things was not part of my personality before.
Loss of improvisation
Improvisation is one of my former skills that I miss the most. I have had to replace spontaneous travel, quick tidies of the house and last minute situations with planning.
