What about yourself have you discovered and were shocked by lately?

Asked by ducky_dnl (5387points) February 10th, 2011 from iPhone

We all have that moment when we are so shocked by making a new discovery about ourselves. What have you found out about yourself recently? It can be anything. I recently found out that I have a lot of self-restraint and can handle much more than I’ve been giving myself credit for. So, anybody ready to share?

I have found that after a bad relationship , I’m not bouncing back as quick as I used to and that really bothers me .
Now what good has come out of this so far is that I’ve learned to like myself and enjoy being alone .

I can, suddenly, leave a bed unmade and dirty dishes in the sink overnight. The world does not come to an end. Fancy that?

I haven’t been shocked yet ;)

I am more of a control freak than I used to be when I was younger. My tolerance for people’s idiocy is dangerously low.

I learned I can make a home anywhere with my family. It was very hard for me at first when we lost our house to foreclosure. Looking back now I realize it was the best thing for us. It was just a house. I have my family, that’s all that matters.

I’m super modest, which I guess is a good trait. Only until I started playing shows have I realized that.

I was so dismayed when I realized, several years back, that I am not quite so selfless as, say, Mother Theresa or Gandhi. Seriously. I was legitimately upset to figure out that I can be just as selfish as the next person. :/

This is going to sound kinda bad. I don’t really like thinking it, but since you asked. Small back story: I got rear-ended early last week and the my barely working 1994 Jeep was totaled. I got a 2010 Dodge Charger. First thing in my head was that I will never own a car as nice as this. I am, purposeful or not, avoiding meaningful success for fear of having it taken away in a heartbeat. It happens a lot and so I hold back to avoid being in those situations. It’s actually driving me crazy at my pharmacy internship site right now.

More surprised than shocked that I can do anything and endure most anything and achieve even the most difficult goals I set.
