That sounds like a good thing. This allows you to be more self-aware. You will make more conscious, careful choices about how you interact. You may alter your style and tone a bit. Eventually, your newer choices may lead to changed habitual behavior. You may find that the change works better for you. Then you will start to relax into the change. I think change like this is similar to a growth spurt, like we have early in life. The change solidifies, and you don't need to think about it so much. I really do think this is how we keep growing and maturing.

I'm not young now, and I wasn't young ten years ago. In retrospect, I realize that I didn't stop maturing at age 21 or 35 or 40. Ten years ago, I was less mature than I am now. The challenge to gain insight, wisdom and more maturity stays with us, even way past our young years. Maybe I'm just a slow maturer. I wish I could have attained being a more finished product much earlier in life. But I'm still very much " a work in progress." You and I are aware of making choices still about who we are and how we will interact. There's freedom in that - freedom to make choices and freedom to alter how we choose to be. Let's relish that!
