Stage 3 continues, I'm on day 24.
From what I know Stage 3 is supposed to "temper" stages 1 and 2 however if anything I feel more aggressive however I'm also still the same funny, witty person I was before but my inner confidence has changed drastically. It's like having an almost impenetrable inner shell.
One thing that has both frightened me and amused me about stage 3 is that I feel almost borderline heartless. I guess this applies more to women however perhaps my percieved "heartlessness" is actually just indifference. Not sure, and I haven't noticed too many checkouts from women like the other guys here, and while that did slightly dissapoint me that dissapointment quickly turned into, yep, you guessed it, indiffrence.
On the upsided though, I'm much more assertive than I was previously, and whenever someone tries to take advantage of me my mind says "screw that, I'll do it when/if I feel like" however sometimes I have to override this impulse, especially if it's something harmless. I'll be glad when my assertiveness becomes more fluid, becomes sometimes it is a pain thinking about NOT doing something just because it seems like someone's trying to take advantage of me.
