Tentatively offered: You've come up with something which makes it much easier for you to manage socially on LW.

It looks to me as though you're no longer showing hostility, but I don't know how you've framed it to yourself.

Is there anything about how you've changed your approach on LW which could be applied to real world interactions?

Much as I'd like to explain how awesome I am, I think you're forgetting this whole thing from less than a month ago.

No, I remember it, though probably in much less detail than you do.

I think the tone of your posts has changed since then.

Evidence that people are not necessarily good at evaluating their own behavior: I know two people who became much more pleasant company after using anti-depressants. Neither of them had any idea that they were doing anything different, they just thought other people had become nicer for no apparent reason.

Well, I think we can rule out me having started on anti-depressants after that one ...
