Are you different person now as compared to when you were a kid?

Question

I became the opposite person. I was really extroverted, talkative, active and hated sleeping, chubby, bossy, spoilt, feminine, pink lover, sweet tooth, clingy as a toddler. Now I'm a tomboy, love black and pink cringes me till some extent depending on the situation, not clingy at all instead I don't like being touched for attention, love spicy food, skinny, completely silent, mature and not spoilt, love sleeping.

My physical features remain to be the same, one could easily identify me as a teen if they saw me as a kid. My facial features became more prominent and sharp and so did my eyebrows which are the only difference. But still, it feels like I look completely different now. You can compare for yourself.

I remember being stubborn for this dress because its of pink shade, even though you can clearly see its quite big. Age- 2 years — I remember being stubborn for this dress because it's of pink shade, even though you can clearly see it's quite big. Age- 2 years

Looking quite innocent right? I was quite notorious back then and this innocent face worked as my shield.

Yeah, bad pic but thats the best I can do at the moment. Age - 14 years — Yeah, bad pic but that's the best I can do at the moment. Age - 14 years

Nonetheless, I like my current look more. I look better in real, my tab's camera quality is bad.

We all change as we grow, physically and mentally. For me, as a child, I didn't like bed times, I was pretty quiet, I had a slightly different taste in music, I freaking hated school, I didn't eat a whole lot of "good stuff" (never paid attention to ingredients and just ate whatever and was more apprehensive about trying new foods) and I didn't drink water hardly at all (drank soda, crappy fake fruit juices, sport's drinks, etc.).

Now, as a working adult, I sometimes miss innocent school days and having a bedtime someone "made" you stick to. I eat fruit now and also make other better diet choices (such as avoiding nasty dyes and high fructose corn syrup and being more careful with my added/refined sugar intake). Plain, cold water is my go-to beverage. I drink it or I will sometimes have natural orange juice (that is actual JUICE, not wateres juice concentrate with additives lol). I am also more open to trying new foods. I am a more outgoing person as well. I am more talkative and tend to make friends quite easily. I love to go do things and explore when I am able to.

With looks, I haven't changed a whole lot. I have aged pretty well I think and people don't believe I'm really going to be 32 this year. Most people think I am still in my 20s, which I take as a compliment lol

I'm still quiet as I was when I was a kid. The difference between when I was 18 versus now is that I am no longer good at taking BS. If you are going to give trouble, I would have no trouble bullying you. I used to be too kind and gave people the benefit of the doubt. Now, I don't trust anyone and put my own priorities first. If I offer to do something with you and you do not respond on time via text (such as responding the next day), I will give your seat to someone else. My time is precious and I don't wait on anyone. If you cancel on me last minute, I will never hangout with you again. I also used to say sorry a lot , now I dont say it unless I absolutely have to. I don't owe people anything in life.

Yeah, I used to be running around as a little sociopath, but I corrected my ways. Outside of that, I changed quite a lot and it's pretty normal for people to.

serious · Accepted Answer

In more than one ways yes I am for sure. I was very different when I was a kid and I was nowhere near to how I am today.

Sour-rose · Answer

i would think so. I'm not so much of a rug anymore, nor will i let ANYONE now a days tell me what I should do because they're older than me. Family or not. I have higher dreams than when I did i was younger. A dream that will probably shock the rest of my family thinking i am the same but this is going to show them that they don't know who i am anymore.

I think everyone becomes a different person. When you’re younger you’re not exposed to the negative things that happen in the world. Once things actually went down I went from being a social butterfly to a withdrawn person. Although people change every year without knowing it.

PointTaken · Answer

Definitely different now than when I was a kid. As we get older and learn, our perspectives change, our attitudes change to our own way of thinking. When you're little, you don't know much so your parents were a larger influence

MementoMori777 · Answer

Yea I'd like to believe so, my head was huge when I was a kid but I think my body grew to match it lol

petitedollbabee · Answer

Completely different. Traumatic events and health problems tend to change you as a person.

exitseven · Answer

I tried to fight it but eventually I had to become a responsible grown up.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Not really. I've always been pretty extroverted and active. I suppose I am more jaded, but that is normal, isn't it?

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Yeah; very much so. I'm very much more introverted and also laid back. Although I'm still just as mischievous!

I was always a shy kid. I'm probably shyer now than I was then. Nothing has changed much for me in terms of personality.

Nikki1989 · Answer

I was very shy and then at 12 everything changed, body, mind and everything else.

Heolurt · Answer

Yea I used to be happy and I used to think just like the ugly duckling, I'd grow up to be handsome but I got uglier.

Tiffany1996 · Answer

Yes I am now more comfortable in my skin more confident then when I was even in high school.

AngryCarl2 · Answer

Yes, totally different. An improvement, I hope.

Cubus · Answer

No offense, but you looked like a boy, when you were younger :)

Loser94 · Answer

Oh yeah in Many ways but in many ways I'm also still that kid on the inside especially when it comes to getting hurt (emotional not physically).

Anonymous · Answer

In many ways yes. In other ways I haven't changed at all. I don't think anyone really ever changes at thier core.

TrillXHippy · Answer

Yeah I’m a different person right now as compared to when I was a kid
