What kind of person have you become?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I was shy, always study oriented, A student, ambitious, but very sweet, nice, polite and always busy reading books. (I was always a bit sarcastic and a daredevil when I was in my friends circle though.)

I would never imagine to become this strange person I’ve turned into.

Yesterday I was having a walk in the rain, listening to the music, I used to listen when I was in my teens, I think It was Muse “Unintended”

And thought, years ago, I was listening to the same music, with the worried and dreams that no longer exist in me.

“A lot of things I have now, are things I dreamed of having 10 years ago.

I am the type of person my 17 yo self would feel happy hanging out with.

Now, I am 27, living in a way which could be my dream at 17,

Having things I’d dream about in the past,

Dating men I wouldn’t even dream of noticing me in the past.

I have a full life.

But sometimes I wonder how and where did I change from my Nun-Like past self to the person I am today?

And who am I really? Because I have lived so opposite lifestyles. It’s difficult to find a line, it feels like the extremities like the sun and the moon or the angel and the devil became friends and they both found home in my body.

And I don’t know which one I am. “

I guess everybody changes 😊. As long as it's for the better.

I changed a lot too. Unlike you, my changes were a lot more sudden. There were mainly two stages in my life when everything changed. First being the time when I started my college life, and second, when I graduated and moved to a different city.

High School to College: High School was awful. I guess, my nature was the reason why high school was as bad as it was. I was very much dependent on others. I had no friends. The people whom I interacted with were all mutual friends, friends of a cousin. I did fairly well in academics and some extra curricular activities, but sucked at sport. All of that combined with an old school nature and quirky hairstyle meant that I was an ideal target for bullying as well 🤣. It all changed when I started my college life. I did excel in my academics, but I got better at sports as well. Riding that confidence, I made a lot of friends... A LOT. Was respected by all, seniors, juniors, classmates. Dated the girl I like. Got approached by a lot of girls 😂, I was brimming with confidence. Everything was going my way.

Post Grad Moving to a Different City: Moving to a different city meant letting go of old ties. That didn't go well. Now, I'm a lot more reserved. I haven't really made anymore friends. I talk less, interact with very few people, only when required. Lost touch with my closest friends. That led to even more social awkwardness. I quit most social media. A couple of hiccups in life messed my life up horribly. I started focussing on improving my physical and mental health after that. It's been going well, but that's how my life is now. I can't really describe what kind of person I am now. I'd say, I'm still the same person, I still like to talk to people, make new friends, spend time with loved ones. But I won't be the one initiating any of those activities. I prefer to stay alone now.

As a kid I was a real loner. I hitchhiked all over the place and did a lot of things by myself. I had a really dysfunctional family life and did not have many friends. I never expected to get married. i never thought I would have kids. When i was younger I thought it would be horrible to have all that responsibility. I thought being tied down to one place was a fate worse than death.

Now I have a wonderful wife and 3 great kids. I have built a nice home with my wife and we have a good life together.

Thanks for the MHO😎

I'm not sure I like the person I've become. I don't consider myself to be successful, I never found my "soul mate", and the truth is I haven't really done anything with my life.

[RebelinSteel]

@siri137 you come over are a really nice, thoughtful and very intelligent person. Fun and intelligence, a nice mix.

[Siri137]

@RebelinSteel Thanks, but I've made quite a few enemies here on GAG :D

[RebelinSteel]

@siri137 it’s GaG there are those on here that do not like anyone. I imagine I have a large number of people that have blocked me, I don’t tend to do quiet and calm.

[sheenagwapa]

i love myself waaay more now and i'm willing to die for Christ

[RebelinSteel]

I am relatively happy at where I am, I know I do still need to make a few changes but overall I’m happy. Everything is very structured and standardised and not the chaotic way it used to be growing up lol.
While chaos can be good, it’s a bitch to keep track of everything and leads to some poor decisions.

Very sheltered and merry about it - just passing the time now freely and merrily and gratefully - 100 percent gratefully - even if I need reminding most days ⌚⏰⌚⏰⌚⏰ clock clock clock
