How have you changed since you were a kid?

Good or bad, but mainly good, I hope!

I'm much calmer and nicer, not as depressed or angry. I'm sure there are other things that will come to mind later...

You?

I'm no longer as shy, quiet, or as withdrawn.

What a great question!

Off the top of my head I'd say I am much more outspoken and comfortable in my own skin. And I have faced all but one of my childhood fears - I was a very anxious kid - now I am very chill.

Very shy and antisocial. Not enough not to have ANY friends but I didn't have a normal "fun" youth. I was always home by myself studying. Ocassionally I went out to the movies and a few supervised parties.
Now I am generally happy with how I handle myself. I can hold a conversation as to before I could not unless it was someone I knew well.

WAY more outgoing.
And taller.

Pretty much the same...
Still strong-headed [ok stubborn..lol], independent, firm in my convictions, great SOH [

], etc...

Hmmm....not as bashful, although it still doesn't take much to make me blush. LOL! Ummm....I'm not as passive about things. I used to keep quiet about a lot of things that wasn't good for me, so I tend to open up more. I was also a very quiet kid. Still quiet to a degree, but much more social.

I'm still the same talkative, goofy person though. I know, the being quiet and being talking thing doesn't make sense, but I was a talkative person once comfortable. I used to get in trouble in school for being the first kid done with work and going around talking with other kids and trying to help them with their work. LOL! Otherwise, I kept to myself and was quiet. Still find humor in almost anything, and still appreciate the little things. Still have my tomboy tendencies, but more of a girly girl now.

I think the only thing that's really changed is that I grew up. I'm still sorta that same girl.....just a mature version of her.
