I used to be way more idealistic, more a romantic.
I used to dress entirely in black, at first because it was my favourite colour.
I had less perspective 25 years ago so I used to be...young?

 

I used to bend over backwards to keep people in my life. I don't worry to much about it anymore, if they're here they're here.

I used to argue for the sake of argument. Now I actually have an opinion.

I used to create characters in movies that were like myself. I would literally rewrite entire movies or books with this extra character.

I used to be careless about sex. Aside from getting lucky ... I've realized I've been verryyyy lucky.

I used to be bored.

 

I used to be Skinner, does that count?

 

I would think, yeah.
In which case, I used to be fatter. And thinner.

As for it being something you used to do. You used to live as a person of less weight (and me of both lessor and more weight).

 

That works. thanks

I used to not think much of myself. Glad that passed.
I used to be quite lonely in crowds... now I don't care.
I used to paint. Huge murals, copies of other things just because I could. Now I just don't.
I used to be a LOT heavier. And quite a bit lighter.
I used to be a lot more disorganized. Now I'm around 45% less so.
I used to have way more people in my life. I used to think I had a lot of close friends.
Now I realize that I had a lot of dependent people and make better, if fewer, friends.
I used to drink a lot more... I think I was more bored/lonely. Before that, I didn't drink at all.
I used to not practice moderation with much of anything. Now I'm fairly good at it when I need to be.
I used to go to the gym 6 days a week. I used to think my body wouldn't get old.
Now my joints hurt all the time and I try to balance too many things, so the gym slides down the pile
of Must Do Things, buried beneath practicums, papers, and the need for clean clothes.
I used to procrastinate a hell of a lot more. Now I just hella procrastinate, not more.
I used to not communicate what was going on in my head. Now I try.

 

I used to think I was fine.
I used to have a stomach of steel, now anxiety ridden.
I used to be patient, but that was hurled off one night.

I used to love being in relationships, now my fascination with any one man aggravates me.
I used to work forty hour weeks, now I'm self-employed and work between sixty to seventy.
I used to do a lot of stuff that I'm glad is now over.

 

I used to dislike running into cliques or inside jokes - now I smirk at them and enjoy being the odd one out.
I used to admire younger men - now I'm more appreciative of life experience.
I used to ski through revolving doors - now there's never enough snow.

 

Having at least one cup of tea per day seems to be going into the past; seems to be going the way of 'used to drink coffee', which I believe i posted earlier in this thread. I can't, for the life of me, work out how this has been happening.
Also used to think I'd never be able to develop left-hand finger dexterity when playing percussion.

 

I used to believe that consensus thinking usually yields superior results.
I used to believe that "authority figures" have an inside track on the truth.
I used to believe that's it's important to [belong] to a political party.

I used to believe that philosophical materialism is rational.
I used to believe that I had to label myself so that I could be categorized and filed for easy access.
