What were you like 10 years ago vs. now? (1 Viewer)

[Yili]

No need to mention specific age, just describe what you were like 10 years ago!

I think that I was pretty scared, I was about to start attending school again, I'd been homeschooled for a while and this was a brand new school for me. I was extremely shy and quiet and had a hard time talking to people I didn't know. I was also quite insecure about myself as a person.

I still have insecurities like many do to this day but I am working a lot more on improving myself in order to make myself happy. I am much less shy and now am usually just quiet because oftentimes I'm just not in the mood to say anything. I'm also a lot more accepting of my introverted tendencies and don't force myself to do social activities that I don't want to do.

I was starting in my current job and struggling with university, along with occasional existential crisis.

I'm a lot better since around 6 years ago and achieved a lot till now.

Only wish I could sleep at the right time, i will eventually get there though.

Super, unbelievably quiet. Twice the ignorance, but kind of internally arrogant for no reason at all.

I'm probably a better and more well-rounded human being now despite my flaws (or at least I believe I'm coming closer to being that way).

I was struggling a lot and in a very bad place

 

[dark_tranquility]

I was institutionalized from 2008 to 2012 and only just started getting my life back on track now in 2020.
I had a few bad spells, suicide attempts, did drugs and was an bad alcoholic among other things.

School and my childhood really paved for my path to be in ruin for 10 years and more.

I was shy and quiet, not knowing a lot of the world outside the borders

10 years ago...
Trying to not fall into a deep depression while my mother was going through schizophrenic episode which caused me to give up my job and put us back in a poverty dip as I had to pay my mother's debts.

Now.. Trying to find another job, after losing it due to covid and trying not to fall back into depression and stay active and continue parenting my kid the best I can.

Same OP, but more like 18 years ago

10 years ago I was still quiet, not as shy, and expressed myself in school. I didn't know about introversion and the mbti until 8 years ago, and that was when I really came into my own and was able to understand and accept who I am.

Then: a mess
Now: a mess but taller

I was shy and unsure about everything. pretty sure I also was questioning my sexuality cause straight somehow never felt fitting for me and I did have crushes on both males and females yet bi didn't quite fit ( glad I was randomly researching more and found pansexual which is so me)
