I wan't to be a bit nicer, and quieter, like I used to when I was a bit younger. Advice, please?

I was quieter and kept to myself when I was younger. Since I got to middle school I know I've changed like I'm more expressive and all, but I don't wanna get carried away. I want to be more sensible but it's hard because I just react too quick, and my life isn't really well right now.

It's to admit to yourself that how you behave is entirely your choice. You understand what sensible means, you already know what the behaviours are that create ';being sensible'; and you know that you react too quickly. So you already have all the wisdom you need within you. When you find the urge to react, feel the feeling, and at that point decide to wait (take a breath) and perform the behaviour that most fits with the goal you want to achieve.





Your life may be very hard right now, but don't give your power away by blaming your life circumstances for your behaviour. You are the captain of your ship, so choose what you want. It's certainly very OK to stand up for yourself and be assertive, but not choosing how to express your anger (is it anger?) wisely can bring you problems you don't need and loss of friends/respect. I think the insight you have about yourself is really great. I suspect most people your age blame everyone and everything for circumstances that are their own responsibility.I wan't to be a bit nicer, and quieter, like I used to when I was a bit younger.

You can do it.


You sound like a very mature person to me.


Love and every best wish.
