I can totally relate to your points too, Keith. Thanks for confirming my experience with yours!
Over the last week, a lot of activities (and people) I thought I enjoyed now seem silly to me. At least some of them I'm sure are not silly at all, but my approach to them doesn't make sense to me anymore.
There's also this increasingly obvious distinction for me, which is between assertiveness and aggressiveness. In my experience, with anger I can push people around, but sadly - without achieving anything significant at all. Being assertive though - it's like I just stand there and I force people to show me their cards a little more each instant - this helps me make better-informed decisions and own them as well.
