Self-awareness is truly the rarest of gifts. I somehow managed to miss that I have extremely conservative sensibilities when the evidence was plentiful. If I like a vacation spot, I will continue going to it and enacting the exact same routine there forever and ever. If in a new area I find a restaurant that I like, it will not even occur to me to check out other options. I will continue coming to the place that I liked first. I keep going to all the same conferences.
I like change at work because it entertains me, so maybe that obscured my conservative tendencies from me. But in everything else, I am a stay-the-course kind of person.
