Title: More or less discipline with T?
Post by: KarlMars on April 07, 2016, 07:14:10 AM
Since you went on T- especially if you've been on it a few years did it help you to have more or less discipline. Were you impulsive before? Are you impulsive now? Thanks. Please discuss.

I suppose I'm slightly more impulsive now but I'd associate that with being more confident with myself. That way I don't over-analyze everything I do and am about to do. I certainly talk back at people much more than pre-T.

Generally, I'm a huge procrastinator and it doesn't fit in the same room with discipline. That's just how I've always been so I don't think there's really that much difference in that matter.

As a pre T biological female my verbal aggression as cause serious social problems for me all my life. I think the average cis male has less verbal aggression and is able to bite his tongue better than me. I analyze every thing after I've done it and at other times am overly cautious of life decisions I make which is why I'm waiting a few years to even start T.

I'm pretty much the same as before. Most of the activities I've enjoyed throughout my life (martial arts, backpacking) and careers I've had (police officer) all required a great deal of self discipline, so I wasn't particularly inclined to impulsive behavior before T. I do feel a lot more mental clarity and calmness on T, and I feel like that speeds up my thought process. So to people who know me, I may seem a little more impulsive, but I think it's only because I'm less distracted and more able to focus on analyzing and responding to situations.
