Looking back over your past, were you more of a mild person who always tried to do the right thing? or were you more of a wild person who would always try just anything? Were the different stages of your life different with regard to mild or wild? What about right now? Which best describes you?

I had been very wild in some respect but in some respects I was very disciplined and mild. To do any social work or something for adventure I could do anything but when it is related with behaving with others I could not be very rude.

I guess at one time in our lives many of us were considered wild by others. It's hard to get rid of that label once you get it. I've never been a rude person either. It isn't in my nature.

I used to be totally and completely wild when I was in my teens through like my early 20's. I wasn't afraid to try anything at least once and the fun things more than once. LOL! I never in a million years thought I'd end up being so laid back and boring now that I'm really an adult. I don't party anymore, in fact I'm lucky if I stay up past 10:00 at night. I think I just outgrew all that stuff and mellowed with age.

Boy do we have a lot in common. I stay up late doing crossword puzzles and myLot discussions. I'm more on the boring side too I guess.

I've always been a wild child of sorts...not cruel, vicious or criminal (much) but always more out in left field and spontaneous etc rather than tame, mellow and safe....Now that I'm a mom I'm definately more mellow and cautious but still not mild LOL Vanilla life has never appealed to me at all..

Motherhood tends to have that effect on us, doesn't it. I was a lot like you too. I loved to party and have a good time. I don't do much of that anymore. Sometimes I miss that side...

Looking back over my past, I would have to say I was more of on the mild side and I always tried to do the right thing in most cases. I got so tired of not getting anywhere though. I did have times when I would go on the wild side and try new things and meet different kinds of people. I was always teased and shoved to the side through school and alot of my so-called friends just used me up and dumped me to the curb. Guys also used me and I got tired of it. I never got to go to many places either when I was younger because my mom was very strict. Once I moved out of the house, I did alot of thing I normally would not have done because I felt like a caged animal who just got released. I stayed wild for about 3 years, I think. I then, later, got pregnant with my daughter and I settled down quite a bit. I was a single parent also because her dad didn't want nothing to do with me or her. I met a very good man when she was 9 months old and we have been together every since. I have been married to him for 12 years now. We have settled down and bought a new home. I am so glad to finally have part of the life I have always dreamed of having. I am back to being mild and I get wild sometimes when we have a chance to, but it isn't very often because I prefer the mild life.

When my husband and I were dating we were both a little wild. He knew his limits, but to me there were no limits. He helped to bring me back down to earth. He is a very mild person. I like to get wild every now and then when I can be away from home, but that isn't very often.

Back in my 20's, I took a lot more stupid risks than I do now. I pretty much
thought I was invincible, as in, "that can't happen to me." I was lucky that
I didn't get into trouble more often than I did - or get hurt.
Now, I am a lot more cautious. I guess with age comes wisdom. I can forsee
the consequences of my actions, rather than just going with the flow and doing
whatever I feel like doing at the time.
I also feel more comfortable in my own skin in my 40's than in my 20's.

That's a good way to put it...stupid risks. So did I...things I would never consider doing now. Thank God for wisdom. My 40's so far are much more mellow than my 20's.

I was a very mild child and remained that away thru my teen years. I am still very mild, but if I get aggravated, I have no problem telling someone off where as used to I would not talk to anyone and say anything wrong to them.
I am very opinated now and speak my mind!

Well, Carol, remind me not to push the wrong buttons. I used to just sit back and take it when faced with confrontation. Now I'm more likely to let that person hear my views as well. Not in an ugly way, just open.

I was always something of a wild child in my teenager years and well into my twenties. I had to calm down in my thirties because I was then a housewife and a mother, but I still longed to release the wild child again. Now I am in my fifties and the wild child is not only loose again but loving every second of her freedom. Yes, I'm a real wild child.

I too was a wild child in my teenage years. It really started after a two-year relationship ended that I just knew would last forever. I was 17. I stayed a wild child pretty much until I hit my late twenties. Then I managed to walk a straighter line for a few years before the wild child returned. I'm now 40 and since October, have returned to being a mild child again.

Life changes can certainly impact your level of wild or mild can't they. When I was wild, I was really out there. I like my level of mildness but not boredom.
