How have you changed in the past year?

And just so it's not a bragfest, one positive and one negative.

Positive: I have much more confidence and I'm not nearly as worried about losing my job. I know I do a great job and I'm a valuable contributor. I don't try to compensate by trying to be a superstar and pissing people off.

Negative: I've gained weight and I'm not in as good of shape.
 
Negative: a genetic mutation has manifested itself and I'm in considerable pain every day of my life

Positive: N/A
 
Positive - I've gone from working in a bar to working for the county government.

Negative - It's sedentary work.
 
Those work, but I was going for how you have changed, not how your life circumstances have changed.

Either way, thanks for sharing.
 
Positive: I'm stronger and more independent. I've accomplished things I never thought I could.


Negative: I don't trust people. Im always looking for alterier motives.
 
I have gained a deep understanding and appreciation for humility resulting in a profound sense of altruism.

I've joined the Big Brother program and donate a lot of my time to habitat for Humanity. I attribute my internal growth to these programs.
 
positive: I've been a participant in a flourishing "e-br :rainbow: mance"

negative: my participation in said "e-br :rainbow: mance" has been from teh bottom :(
 
Positive (I think): I've learned to be just the right amount of selfish. I learned this year I need to focus on making myself happy before others and not let other people affect my emotions to the extent they have in the past.

Negative: I'm realizing I'm kind of jaded or burnt out in regards to the dating scene. I say I want somebody but no matter how great a guy I find lately, I just can't seem to be or stay interested or want to put in the effort. It's bothering me.

I used to get up at 11:00 AM and go to sleep about 3:00 AM. Now I get up at 7:00 AM and go to sleep at 11:00 PM. There, is that better?

Well that's still not how "I" have changed, just my habits. Okay, I think maybe I'm even more introverted and inhibited than before. At work there are so many people who know more than me and have more experience than me, I just shut up unless I have a question. Also, I'm surrounded by hard-core Christians, including most of my superiors, so as an agnostic-bordering-on-atheist, I just keep my mouth shut on that issue as well. So far I have successfully avoided even being directly asked "where do you go to church", because answering "I dont' go to church" would be inconceivable to them.

You decide which is the positive and which is the negative.
 
P: i successfully climbed the ranks of my corporate ladderr at an accelerated pace
N: some ppl had to get canned so i could get there job hahaha
 
I don't know about the past year but in the past 6 weeks

Quit taking some of the medsI've been on for almost 2 years , feeling Great. Found elite fitness forum,an with the knowledge abound here, will continue to improve myself one day at a time!!!!

Trauma and prolonged abuse of any kind changes ur brain. You will scan your environment and analyze people for signs of danger. Could be a touch of PTSD, any type of trauma can cause it not just combat.

A good video on trust

Me: Last year this time I was depressed and didn't know it. Funny how you don't realize those things until you're normal again. So, the positive is that I'm my normal self again. I feel great on the inside and it shows on the outside. I'm glad I made it out of the rain. Though I have my eye on the horizon for storm clouds, I'm enjoying my time in the sun. :D

I can't think of a single negative right now. Lol.

Wow, really. I am in the Midwest and you'd think I'd run into that. I don't. I have no Christian friends at all, especially hard core bible-thumpers that would talk about it in a work environment (which is totally inappropriate btw) They are no where to be found. I am around city and countyoften and no one asks me that, ever.
 
(+) I am in the best shape/ best looking position I've ever been in my life

(-) It attracts a lot of attention from other women and it's hard to stay committed

I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. He was pretty awful and I didnt even realize it cause I got with him so young. I have a friend who councils families and women who have been in abusive relationships. He told me that he was impressed and that I've done really well. He said something like 90% come out of this stuff messed up. I'm careful not to repeat patterns and I try to keep my self at least a little open. It's not always easy but I'm much happier now than I was.

Thanks Cindy. You are such an awesome chick. I'm glad you don't have any negatives. You deserve to be happy. :rose:
 
positive...Ive been more self reliant than I have been in years and have really been better about dwelling about what I like about someone instead of dwelling on negatives

negative..I've gotten bad about catering to someone elses insecurities because I feel guilty about not acting/being dependent and this has kind of resulted in me being a bit isolated
 
neg - My BF is higher than last year (although strength is up too).

pos - My wife's mid-life crisis is finally over so we are getting along beautifully again.
 
pro-Ive become a father, recommitted to fitness, am chasing my career

con-become a shittier husband than I thought possible and selfish in many areas of life.

Becoming a father shifts your priorities and it becomes very easy to neglect your marraige.

It's a mistake - your child deserves two parents; so put some time and effort into your wife too.

I agree bro, and I did bust my ass to do it all but grew tired of getting nothing in return.

How are you gonna operate the remote when you're face down ass up any way?

If you're that desperate for entertainment, slip an ipad under the pillow you're biting.
 
positive: I got a good job, gained 25 pounds in the past 3 months and in the best shape of my life, bought a sport bike, went back to college, got back together with the gf of 5 years.

negative: currently living at home and it blows
