I learned not to lick people's faces when I first meet them.

I'm much more "reserved" now. People used to think my ex was "very European" because he was reserved - but the reality was that he was just shy. I picked up some of that, I suppose, along with the holding utensils thing. Actually, there are other reasons my personality changed somewhat - I'm still the same, I just don't let people see it as often, maybe.
