I changed a lot. I went through so many challenges and met so many different people in my life, that it was impossible not to change.
However, if I met someone from high-school for a short encounter, probably they wouldn't notice the change. I mean, I'm still awkward and silent, and those people never knew me in the first place.

Yeah, High School was 6 months ago for me and already I have done a complete 1440. At leas that is what it feels like. But then again, I was forced into these changes which have mostly benefited me.

i dont know. i mean i have thought about this but yeah. my social skills are not developing as quickly as they were in the last couple of years of high school but i can hold a conversation better(thats not accurate- i can talk when somebody controls the conversation and run away is not my first thought when people talk to me.) i am happier but that isnt saying much since highschool was not the happiest time of my life but the level of happiness is still extreme in comparson. i dont read as much which is a time thing. i am slightly more left wing- revolutionary not reformist and not so misanthropic, a little more optimistic and i think the fact that i am aggressive is something people can pick easier. i used to be so controlled. im free-er now. the fact that you are anonymous at uni leaves more space for me to be me.

Dramatically, in looks as well as personality. I think I'm much more me nowadays. I had to hide so much when I was in school, and overcompensated in quite negative ways. I basically became a bit of a dick to everyone.

I didn't go to high school. I dropped out in 7th grade and I haven't changed since then. I feel like everyone has grown up and I am still a thirteen-year-old.

I've changed a lot. I've lost weight and got more muscular, and basically way better looking all around, since high school (5 years ago.) I also am a lot more religious now compared to high school, and that's had a massive effect on me. I think a bigger thing is, after high school, I became a lot more my "true self." No more metal, no more rap music, I now listen to mostly girly pop music, cuz I like it and nobody is around to make fun of me for it. The other thing, too, I'm a lot less "nerdy" now. In highschool, since it's all about like finding a crowd, I found the "nerd" crowd, and conformed a bit to them, and now I've gotten more or less "cooler" and my interests aren't as nerdy anymore. I still have my nerdy interests, but I have "cool" ones to offset the nerdy ones. Like I'll still watch anime, play video games, and the majority of the music I listen to is Japanese, but I work on cars, ice skate, and lift weights and go outside a lot now, whereas in high school, I was dragged down by my friends to watching anime and going on 4chan and stupid stuff like that. Like now, I wear preppy clothes and many people would probably go say I'm a "jock" or something like that if they didn't otherwise know me. Also, I've become more confident and assertive, though I obtained that through trial by fire.

I don't know, right now it's weird, as I feel I'm a weird dichotomy of sorts, I'm nerdy as hell on one hand, but people cannot guess that about me until I open my mouth due to how I've learned to like, dress myself and carry myself.
