Exactly. Thank you for explaining that so well.

It's difficult for me to identify where I'm being reckless on my own. It's mostly defined by others, and then I go, "oh yeah I guess that is pretty darn reckless." I am also terrified of all those things. I have been smoking a lot of pot, having a lot of unprotected sex, and speeding a lot. My therapist says that I am being overly reckless. I think I'm having fun, but my therapist thinks it's more than that.
The Seldom Killer:
Probably complicated by the point that individually those things would be fun on their own. However, if they're developing into a pattern of behaviour then recklessness can become an issue. Most people will do something reckless every now and again but if you're demonstrating a developing pattern of behaviour then there's the associated risk of escalation. So yes, you're having fun, but how you derive that fun could develop into harmful behaviour. Hopefully your therapist will be able to offer some valuable direction on this.
Welu:
Why did I agree to do an 8 hour floor shift at the second shop instead of my normal office work? I know why, because I think I'm useless and am terrified of disappointing people, but I was just talking last night about how I was hoping to get out of customer service if my money situation improves. I don't want to open the option of doing floor work in the other shop as well.
Active Madness:
I'm going to sound like a real stick-in-the-mud, but the fastest I've ever driven is 100km/h. I'm always a fairly cautious driver and my car is reasonably old, so I always tend to stick on the speed limit or very slightly over it. That said, I'm not one of those knobsacks who'll drive slowly in the overtaking lane, that's just plain being an asshat.
Mind you, there's a guy who always seems to end up behind me driving to work who always tries to tailgate me. I'm talking he's pretty much sitting in my back seat. So, if there's nobody else on the road I'll slow right down out of sheer vindictiveness because tailgating tends to make me super anxious.
Barmymoo:
Well I am now one wisdom tooth down - the actual extraction was mildly uncomfortable (mostly because the dentist kept trapping my lip on the other side of my mouth between my jaw and the whatever-it-was thing that he was using to get the tooth out) and it's now seven hours later and I've not taken any pain killers. The anaesthetic was weird, my mouth was numb and I couldn't smile properly for the first hour or so. Now I've got a slight ache where the tooth was and might take a couple of paracetamol before I go out in two hours. It could have been far worse!
