• i used to walk EVERYWHERE looking at the ground; now i look at the ground occasionally and when i walk up stairs, but i look forward and around more than i used to
• i'm not as "shy" around new people as i used to be. i don't know if it's him or if it's the girls, but...something i've noticed
• i'm not so afraid to introduce myself. people make up nicknames for me since my name is "so hard to figure out" but...whatever!
• i feel comfortable around people...talking about things that would have been "no-no" topics a few months ago
• i'm more comfortable around other guys.

that's not it...but that's all i can think of right now.
