3) I'm definitely a little more distracted when driving now because my peripheral vision keeps seeing the roadside whip by in the mirror as the landscaping changes I wasn't seeing before with them turned in more.

4) Have to untrain myself from leaning over toward the mirror for a wider view when changing lanes LOL (The whole point of having them adjusted correctly).

Don't give up, start consciously enjoying how cars in adjacent lanes ease into your side mirrors as they disappear from the rearview mirror. I used to feel the same for a few days---hard to unlearn those years of conditioned "comfort" seeing the quarter panel of your own car provides.
