    Default Changing....

    How do you think you've changed over the past 10 years? Did you used to be a lot different?

    i've changed a ton in the last 10 years. 10 years ago i was 34 and had just given birth to my first child. i had been married for 4 years. i was a social worker in an early intervention program doing work completely unsuited to me. working towards achieving the vision that i and my husband had put together in our 20's. and, i had incorrectly typed myself (just keepin it real for socionics purposes)

    today i have two children, am working as a director, single, own my own home, teaching social work students, contemplating whether the vision is really all that i thought it would be, and developing a comprehensive understanding of myself, my life, the lives of those connected to me, and my relationship with my creator. looking at how i can help and mentor others, and, being correctly typed looking for how i want to live the rest of my life, keeping in mind how much control i really have over things.

    10? How about two. I've changed so much since coming to university that it's astonishing to me. Certain essential parts of me have remained static, and in a lot of ways the outer shell has remained largely the same, but I sometimes have a hard time recognizing myself. Actually, even when I look at picture of myself over the past two years it amazes me to see the change. I see it in my face and I feel it in the memories I hold. I'm not sure if I can express it tangibly, but they say you go through drastic change in your late teens and into your twenties. Whoever they are, they have my vote.

    Wouldn't that happen in your late 20s? Making you around 38-42?

    ...Not that I really believe you were serious. Does anyone know anything about your true identity?

    I think I'm basically the same, except I have a kid now.

    Absolutely zero. The only distinct change I remember in my personality was when I was around 13 (nothing dramatic, I just became more stereotypically male in character), but from there on my personality has remained exactly the same.

    I'm with fabio. I haven't really changed much.

    Oh wait, I can only eat HALF a cheesecake by myself now. Before, it was 1 whole. My sweettooth's hold on me is weakening.

    Well just to be clear, I didn't just mean a slice, I meant a whole fucking pie.

    Ive done most of my changing in the past 3 or so years.

    after about age 6 i became more hedonist. Up until age 13 I was very imaginative and produced a lot of art. I was interested in academics history and govt until maybe 17. after that it was all INTj until about 3 years ago when I began to spend more time doing day to day tasks, I am more practical now and play more of a mediatory role in situations instead of an argumentative one.
