Hey Pandas, Share How Your Personality Has Changed Over The Years? (Closed)

My personality took a 180° turn when I was around 11 years old, but there was no event that might have influenced it to be that way. That made me wonder if anyone else had experienced something similar.

It could be because of a book you read, something someone said to you, or just a realization that struck you out of the blue.

Stopped giving a cr@p what other people think about me 🙂

You’re probably not the only one asking that question.

I talk *slightly* more in public now and I’m a hit louder than I was

I was painfully shy as a kid. I barely had friends until I was 14.

I've learned that the only difference between introverts and extroverts is how you charge. We both get scudding tired of people.

I'm okay with introducing myself now, cracking jokes, speaking in front of people, and definitely not scared to share my opinion.
I'm proud of myself for getting to this point.

Great! You should definitely be proud of your achievement, I think it's easier to go from extrovert to introvert but definitely not the other way round.

I decided about 5-7 years ago to stop all social media. No FB, never started Insta or TikTok and I couldn't be the happier. The only people who matter to me are the found/made family I have.

Sameeeed. I was an EXTREME chatterbox, and when I say extreme I mean it. It makes for more embarrassing moments to revise before going to sleep.

I went from happy-go-lucky kid who wouldn't hesitiate to walk up to some random student and ask if they wanted to be friends to shy pre-teen who had a pretty toxic social life and knew that it was toxic, but didn't have the words for it.

Now I'm just a teenager with a s**t-ton of emotions, a few good friends, and a petrifying fear of social interaction because I'm scared of being judged/ridiculed due to past experiences.

I think I got worse in all honesty, I miss childhood

I used to be really introverted. During my breaks I’d sit with a book and read. Then beginning of this academic year, I became (by my standards) quite extroverted (ie I now have a group of friends, with whom I sit whenever I get the chance).
On the one hand, I am happy and like that I have friends, on the other hand, I don’t really like it.

I used to trust people and take them for their word. I now realize most of those words are complete bullsh*t. Even the words your parents say. People tell you what you want to hear usually for some self gratification be it immediate or a long time coming. I try to verify the validity of what someone says to me before believing them. Needless to say, I don't talk to many people. I won't talk to any politician or religious fanatic. There is no justice in the justice system, it's just a system to see who is better at lying. Hell, I still don't/can't 100% believe my s/o when he tells me how much he's in love with me, I can't verify it by anything but his actions. So far so good. I'm brutally blunt and tell it like it is. I won't sugarcoat the truth to spare anyone's feelings. Truth hurts and if you expect anything but, get it elsewhere, please. If drama or he said she said is the issue, don't even bother. You're not important enough to me to get involved or have to deal with. No, I do not want to hear the latest gossip. Don't waste my time. I certainly don't care enough about you to waste yours.

I didn't say anything about revealing unspoken truths. That's not the topic here. I'm also insistent on folks minding their own business. There's a difference between the truth and secrets. The truth being "that's between us" as opposed to "oh, nothing." Or telling someone with relationship issues everything will be ok instead of he's cheating on you, kick him to the curb. I want to push liars away.

Personality wise I was misunderstood but also an awful big brother hurting my little brother because he worshipped me and my little autistic brain didn’t understand sh*t when I was little. I’ve gotten better over the years and less of a jerk and way less abusive. I’m still a bit misunderstood, loud, dramatic, brash, honest, and intimidating but truly a good person behind those other traits, but I have learned from my mistakes over the years and I have become a bit more mature. Covid though shifted my personality from somewhat extroverted to somewhat introverted but I’m an ambivert really. I don’t mind socializing with people as long as it’s not more than 8 people but I like alone time. My personality in general has remained somewhat autistic and ADHD over the years. Anyways that’s it.
