Has your personality changed in the last 10 years?

Robson Lobson

When I think back to 2004 I was much more shy and less outgoing. Much more orientated towards avoiding fear, anxiety or embarrasing situations. Now I'd say my orientation is more towards just enjoying myself. How has your personality changed in the last 10 years?

For the better. I guess it's called maturing.

10 years ago, I was 10.

I hope to fuck I've changed since then.

MonstaMash

Yes, I become more embittered as I get older, I'm going to be a right auld Victor Meldrew given another 10 years :mad:

I think I am a stronger person.

I still have my spark and childish rosy view of the world.

But I definitely know now to simply avoid some people whereas before I would have tolerated too much or tried to change others. I avoid men and women who play silly games. People who play silly games win silly prizes.

I accept myself more. I just try to be the best that I can be. I don't try to please others I just try to get on.

I still have my sense of humor.

Actually I have been through a lot and I have coped quite well and I am still a very happy person in myself so I think I am doing well :-)

I still try to be as kind as I can be but it's a balance you have to put yourself first.

I have less of a personality now than ten years ago because ten years ago I cared about what other people thought of me. So, like everybody does, to try to attract attention from other people I created for myself what is referred to as "a personality."

But now I'm just myself, and myself doesn't really give a **** about anything. Try that as an opener at a party.

Your personality is the "pretend not to care about anything" personality.

gugleguy

Yep. gugleguy is more embittered. Being chivalrous did me no favours especially in the last four years. People like that Irish or other nationality like that are become ever more few and far between. I was also more trusting 10 years ago. Also finding myself having to put on that 'blank goon stare' in crowds now if you look like a nice guy you will get WALKED ON.

I was a mentally ill, fat, lonely, insecure 15 year old.

I'm now a mentally healthy, not so fat, far from lonely, confident 25 year old

Vito Corleone

I am more selfish now than I was in the past, far less sensitive.

Cantremember

Much more outspoken and active about not tolerating people or institutions that f**k up other peoples lives. Think I appreciate the ordinary good things of life much more. Grateful my health is as reasonable as it is. Now f**k off the lot of yiz.

The Backwards Man

I used to be a cnut.

Now I'm an oul cnut.

Thundering_Sky

Ya I'm definitely more confident and don't let what other people think bother me so much; I'd be worried if I still had the personality of an 11 year old.

jamo2oo9

10 years ago, I was playing with lego 24/7. Now, I sit at the couch, browsing through boards.ie and think, do I really depend on the internet for a bit of fun?

pragmatic1

Used to be a bit of a people pleaser when I was younger. Now I couldn't give a shyte.

Sauve

I was a lot more mature and settled at 22 than I am at 32. In a good way, cos now I'd do things and go places I never would have back them. I'm much more carefree now.
It should probably be the other way round :pac:

I was 15 and miserable. So yes!

I've turned into my mother.

I don't think my personality has changed. Less giddy, more willing to suit myself and let others be damned if they want to judge me. I think it's called maturing! But I think the fundamentals of personality are fairly constant through life. Like, if I met any of my school friends who I haven't seen in years, I wouldn't expect them to still have the same interests or to still behave like a teenager. I'd also expect them to be more mature, more comfortable in their own skin, more open. But if one of them had gone from someone who was, say, a kind person who was genuinely interested in others to someone who was all "me me me" I'd be very surprised.

Muise...

Ten years on, I'm still mistrustful of people describing themselves. I'll be the judge of that, darlings.

xzanti

I don't suffer fools as gladly as I did 10 years ago
I've learned to accept myself a lot more, flaws and all
I'm a lot more patient
I'm a lot more focused
I look after my health a lot better
I'm much better with money
I'm a lot more confident
I no longer care if a certain person doesn't like me, I have no control over that, and it's ok

Just ye wait till I'm in my psychological twenties, I'll be serious as hell then.

Chilled out a bit, I think.

I'm not so naive anymore and I find it much easier to say No.

[Deleted User]

I was a self conscious and studious 17 year old a decade ago. Now I'm a less self conscious but still studious 27 year old. I think my sense of humor has developed and that I'm less shy than I was, I laugh more easily. It helps that I don't care much about a lot of the things people my age are supposed to care about. I think I'm nicer too, I've developed more empathy as I've matured.

KKkitty

10 years ago I wanted to be everyone's friend and tbh I wasn't happy being that way in hindsight. Now I know who I want to know and leave it at that. I've been through a lot in the last decade and only one friend has been there for me in all that time. I'm also not as emotional as I used to be.

Agricola

10 years ago I was 22, and fairly typical of someone that age. Nowadays....... yeah Im pretty much still the same. Im going to take the positives from that, such as Im young at heart. Definitely not immature and avoidant of responsibility!
