Not always. Baby me pitched a few fits and caused some thunderstorms, or damaged things pretty easily. But I grew up with mortal foster brothers, and despite them being trained fighters with powers of their own but that didn't mean I didn't have to be careful. I think my powers were bound though, so that made it easier in some sense.
It feels normal for me. It's just the way I am. But I've lost my powers before and I was human. I felt slow, weak, fragile, and disconnected. 0/10 would not recommend it for me.
