Question: Are you who you think you are!?
I am old, okay!? Today I learned some new stuff that's shaking me!. I think of myself as good, decent, caring, the works on that one!. I saw a ruthless side to me that wore fangs and took no prisoners!.
My point: I JUST LEARNED THIS SIDE OF ME, or just saw it close-up, loud and clear!.

What about you!? Are you static!? Are you finding out stuff you didn't know was there!?
Is it possible you don't even remotely resemble your fantasy of yourself!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

everyone has many sides to them selves!. i for one am like you!. i generally am a really nice guy who people tend to like!. however i am also a united states soldier!. i find myself tapping into a side that is ruthless and horrible!. i have had to do things that i didn't think i could normally do!. some as confidence builders some to stay alive!. in my opinion it's natural to have a side of you that is just down right mean!. it's almost like a self defense!. human nature seems that everyone has a nice side and a "dark side" a side to them that just doesn't seem right or sometimes has thoughts that scare you!. there is nothing wrong with you!. i'm an awesome guy you get me really mad i get really mean!. you put me in a corner and i'll fight to survive!. it's the way we are and we have been programed like that for centuries now!. it just sounds to me like a nice person snapped and i have a feeling it just didn't come out of no where!. chin up your fine!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think we continually grow and change throughout our lives so it's virtually impossible to know exactly who you are or how you would react in certain situations!. I can speculate all day about how I would react to something thats never been thrown my way but once it is I may react totally differently!. I am NOT the same person i was ten years ago or even two years ago and I hope that I just get wiser and smarter as I get older!.

I am no spring chicken myself and it's taken me years to get to a point in my life where I accept myself for who I am TODAY and thats okay with me!.

I can only hope that I can grow old gracefully and be a positive influence in my childrens and grandchildrens lives!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ah, don't be so hard on yourself!. Along with your age should come the understanding that 1!.!.!.all things change, our lives, our environment, the government, the emotions and the self!. 2!. that with this change comes the responsibility to adjust and correct!.

A burst of nasty temper certainly isn't that bad, for with it comes the very recognition of who you are and what needs to be adjusted!.

also with age comes the wisdom in knowing that we mere creatures, known as humans, make away to much of everything!.

So you got mad!.!.!.shout it out, scream about it!. Now, back off, sit down and look at why!. Maybe you needed to say something and this was the only way in which you could at the moment!. Now remember, words spoken cannot be unspoken, but certainly, if there is an apology in order, go!.!.!.now and do it!. Then let it go!. All of it!.

You're ok, we all are ok, and we all are just doing our best with what we know!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

good luck nd god bless!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Old!? How old!? I'm 62!.

You can discover new sides of yourself at any age!. I have!. Some, I like others, don't like!. However, you have to look at the circumstances that brought forth this new side!.

Sometimes, it is just the appropriate response!. Even if it surprises you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
