Honestly, as a kid, I didn't swear at all.. I was such a goodie goodie.. Like, if I was to say the word "Dick," I'd say, "Word after Moby.."
Views on different topics have changed too.. I was more 'liberal' in the late 2000s and more 'conservative' in the early 2010s. Now I'm more moderate..
I used to think I was smarter than most people, since people treated me that way sometimes and I did well on a lot of school-related things. Then I realized it's pretty impossible to measure how smart someone is, and people can be intelligent in different ways.
Also I had a lot of dumb prejudice that I've gradually trimmed down or at least recognized as prejudice. And I've gotten better at being assertive, or something. Like, now I can ask questions, voice opinions, or just exist in a stranger's presence without thinking I'm inconveniencing everyone.
A few years ago I was quite a xenophobe and homophobe, I hated gay people, French and I though that all Germans should die; rock/metal was too brutal for my idiotic brain and I was basically a little bitch. God, I was full of shit back then. excuse me while I find a time-machine to smite my young self with a hurling bat...
Have you ever had any mentalities that you've outgrown? Any prejudices that have melted away? Outlooks on life turned around?
How has your mind changed through any period of time, and are you a better person because of it?
