Who we are now

[PyroChamber]

When you think about who you are as a person, would you consider yourself to be the same person you were in high school emotionally and possibly physically?

Or would you say that you are not the same person as you were in high school and have become very different in more ways than one?

Like with me. Even though I'm 25 now, I pay bills, have my own place and more responsible; in a way I still consider myself to be the same anti-social loner I was in high school, like I never got out of it for some reason. And as far as physically, I pretty much still look the same way I did back then.

I'm a heap bigger and smarter than my high school self. I smoke 1/900th of the amount of pot that I did back then too.

I'm much better with women now. If I had to go back and deal with my last 2 g/f's now, it'd be a whole diff story. Not in the sense that I'd be mean or break up w/ them sooner or anything, I'd just handle myself, them, and my ex's ex a lot differently.

I forgot about the ladies, even as an adult I'm still not having any luck with them.

Probably b/c you're an anti-social loner lol

A lot of changes throughout high school. I'd say I'm a lot more jaded, but fundamentally the same. I appreciate things more than I did before more understanding about things.

 

[knowsbleed]

I'd kick my own ass. Don't front.

 

[Majic Walrus]

I'm older and better looking. I almost never bring up D&D or comic books at awkward moments. Also I now think online dating is about the dumbest idea ever and I sort of hate the internet. When I was younger I would easily spend 8 hours of my day outside of school online or on a computer at least. Now I'm hardly ever online outside of work.

I don't drink nearly as much as I used to and I have done anything totally illegal in a few months (thanks for the ticket officer Acneface). Also I hate all teenagers.

 

[AndThePickles]

I'd like to think that I'm more knowledgeable/wiser, and I KNOW I'm more confident than when I was younger. I'm happier with myself.

We are the rise of the machines.......

 

[SuperKoala]

I made some major strides in high school

 

[The Original Bamfer]

I don't think I've really changed, but rather grown as an individual. Friends from high school may say that I'm different, but that's due to many realizations I've encountered since graduating. I'm still who I was then, I just think there's more to me now.

I am not at all like who I was in high school. I was quiet and a bit estranged, but for good reason. I grew up in a very conservative, Italian town where everything about who I am classified me as a minority.

After I left high school, everything changed. I came out, became much more sociable, lost weight, and started to live a much more metropolitan lifestyle.

I have always been a hard worker, so that remains the one aspect of my personality which I don't think has changed very much.

I'm not as anti-social as I was back in high school. I'm also a lot smoother with the ladies and just starting up a conversation in general. I also don't take ANY ******** like I used. I don't get myself worked up about little things anymore. Physically I look basically the same. I'm not as skinny and gawky as I was. I'm bigger, not fat, just big.

 

[Manic]

Well, people don't call me The Black Male Daria anymore. I'd say I lightened up plenty over the years.

 

[04nbod]

I'm so much more confident and socially skilled than in school. I used to just hide behind my friends and allow them to drag me along, but then I'd feel like I was tagging on and that would get me down. I was a kid.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Compared to highschool I am more:

Confident
Bigger
Smarter
Mature when I want to be
More interested in politics and my environment
A Lover of good beer

But I am still:
A geek by nature (both movies and comics)
Same philosophy of life

 

[Avangarde]

Deep down I'm the same person, I've just added a few layers of personality on top. Oh and I suck at sports now

Not true... I am a perfect case of the anti-social loner. But... I take each situation case by case and determine right then whether I want to act in an anti-social manner. If the potential is strong enough... then I'll be as social as I need to be to socialize with the potential enough for the potential to become more than what they are... but if I'm not in the mood, then my anti-socialness is more than enough for me to make me happy with me-self.

ya dig?

if ya don't, I don't care.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

The fact that you can turn your anti-socialness off means you ain't as bad as most loners

 

[knowsbleed]

Mmm... you have a point. I just like having lots of alone time... but I can adjust, I'm not incapable... just unwilling sometimes.

 

[Captain Planet!]

I hate the word "loner". It sounds so stupid. "Looooh-nurrr".

 

[Marx]

I am a little bit different than I was in high school. I let things roll off of my back more than I used to. I'm more reserved now than I was with regard to people I don't know. I'm more athletic than I used to be. I guess I've just grown up. I have very bitter feelings toward high school and couldn't be happier that I'm no longer there.

 

[percoset]

No I'm completely different than from what I was five years ago. I wish I could go back and kick my own ass into reality.
