Been carrying since before Tx had a law about it.
So, mostly, just normal.
However, I feel that carrying, once you get used to it, does change your psychological outlook.
Recently My wife, son, and his GF were threatened on the street in the downtown area of a million-plus city while walking from our parked car to a restaurant.
The perp took a run (literally) at my son, yelling at him, but stopped short.
He looked to his left, where I was standing about 30 feet from the action, and saw that I was on the phone (took less than two seconds to dial, and 911 answered right away).
I yelled at him to stop and that the police were on the way.
He continued to talk threatingly but ceased physically agressive action.
We then walked away, leaving him ranting in the street. When we came out of the restaurant, he was gone but his belongings were strewn about the sidewalk.
I think that carrying gave me the confidence (knowledge that I very likely had the power to control whatever happened) to be calm and take the time to use less intrusive methods than drawing the weapon.
Best,
Will
