How much have you changed before and after Uni?

Topic pretty much says it all. How much have you guys changed since graduating uni & working a year or two after? I'll start:

Pros:

- More independent (although it was pretty much like this during Uni)

- I think I am more informed about what goes on in the world?

- Less pretentious/ tryhard 

- Less cocky, used to be overconfident af 

- A lot more empathetic, had toxic masculinity two years back

Cons:

- Generally less motivated/ excited 

- Scared of Birds

- More impatient 

- More ego (I hate this so much, before uni I could do the most embarrassing shit in the world without giving a f, but now I feel so self conscious)

- Communicate lesser with friends/ losing touch
