Something I've noticed the past few weeks: I'm waking up early, can't go back to sleep, and don't feel tired or fatigued. This happens when I've had the masked subliminal playing all night long, at an appropriate volume.
I've no patience for stupid or irritating things, but my reaction isn't disproportional. I have no road rage, but I do occasionally react with, "Dang son, that was !@#$ing stupid!" This is a change for me, as I would react to things (like my ex-girlfriend pushing a button) with repression and then eventual rage. Now it's just an unwillingness to tolerate these things. Either I shut her down by ending the conversation or I answer yes/no/lame/gay/LOL, which prevents her from getting any kind of access to The Buttons. The Buttons themselves are less potent than they used to be, and my external reaction is WAY more subdued.
Lately she played a power game about my visitation with our daughter. She didn't want me to use her trash can. Told her that was fine, and I'll take our daughter out instead of visiting at her house. Problem solved. WOW she didn't like that at all, and now she's trying to get me to return to the old way of visiting at her house.
