Conversley (is that a word??), I have found that my confidence might have gone downhill as I realise how destructible I really am. E.g, there I am sparring quite happily, next thing I know I have a rubber knife in my back, across my throat etc. I hope this means that I am able to be critical of myself and know what I've missed.
Granted everyone needs to adjust to change in environment based on their own experiences, but human behaviour is much the same across the board IMO. I can see the logic in ignoring it, but avoiding it in the first place significantly reduces the risk unpleasent side effects like prison, hospital or death.
I've never been a thinker of consequences. a good talker and lucky. I suppose I shouldn't really recommend it but like I say, been lucky
