Who's THAT?

Look at yourself now - look at your life, how you're feeling about it, where you are. Now do the same but do it from a year ago. Are you the same person? If so, are you happy with the lack of change? If not, what would you have preferred to change or hapen and why?

As for myself, when I look back at myself, this time last year, I absolutely despise the old me; really not confident, morbidly overweight, unbelievably difficult to talk to, one friend if I was lucky ... basically, I ticked all the right boxes worthy of slapping an emo stamp across my forehead.

Now, however, I think that maturity has negated most of this and I now have more close friends than I can count on both hands, I'm such a confident person now, you can never shut me up and I'm just, basically, a really happy person.

Yes, positive thinking, ladies and gentlemen!

Yourself?

I honestly don't think I've changed a terrible lot over the last year. I'm more confident with myself overall, but I'd say that's about it really. I haven't developed/lost any major changes in my personality and as far as I can tell, I still act pretty much the same as I did last summer.

I've not changed much over the last year.....well, maybe I have I guess, I think I've cheered up abit haha, I'm not quite the party animal I was either, although tbh, the only reason I'm not going out as m,uch is because I have been really rather skint really

I think the last 6 months have been the most important for me throughout the whole of our secondary school life.

It's easy to realize once you're about to leave school how close certain friends are whilst others just disappear, but I'd say I've probably become a lot more confident over the past 6 months than I use to be and know a lot more people due to partying etc. Which is all good.

Appearance wise...I look older.

Although I do like my new hairstyle. =]

I haven't changed a whole lot from last year. If I took a look at myself two years ago, I'd see more noticable changes.

Anti-social.
Overly shy (around people I wasn't familiar with).
Unmotivated to do anything outside of videogames.

Once I got a job, started going to social events, and began going to school for something I actually like, I learned to enjoy not being in the dark all day. So yeah, I'm pleased with the changes I've gone through.

I'm with Mister Poop here. Last year (or should I say a little over a year ago) I was still pretty much shy, not really outspoken. Then I got a job as a cashier and dealt with many situations, which helped me become more social. So I guess I changed a bit, yes. Now working at the daycare center, I talk with many people, parents, co-workers, administrators, etc. I'm not afraid to suggest ideas or confront a parent about a situation related to their child. It's not really a major growth on my part though. I'm still shy, but I learned to speak up when needed and still be comfortable at the same time.

I've not changed a whole lot since last year, though from the year before I've changed copiously. Since getting my ever-so demanding job, I've become far more confident, my capacity to converse has increased dramatically, and I've developed sufficient motivation to go outside and do things I'd have otherwise snubbed.

I still retain some nasty little characteristics that don't seem to want to go away, but overall I think I've become a much better person over such a small space of time.

Room for improvement still, however. ;p

Two years ago I started changing at a constant rate.....and still changing.

Appearance-wise: I lost some weight and my hair has grown quite a lot....I can has a pony tail...

Personality-wise: I'm interested in romance, I stopped playing video games 10 hours per day(but still a reasonable 5 hours

), I watch other types of movies other than horror and SF, I am starting to like a lot of stuff that comes from Japan(music and films mostly....and I still don't watch anime)....and that's about it for these last two years.

I changed a little bit.

I had to go through the high school to college transition, which made me mature a little more. I now enjoy more freedom than last year because I no longer have a curfew. But that has taught me the importance of being responsible and not abuse that priviledge.

I also learned time-management. (when to have time for fun and for studying, lest I get kicked out

)

Physically.. I gained a little weight, but my friends say it looks better. I used to be so thin. I also grew my hair.

I can't really say I've noticed much of a change in myself over the past year. I'm probably less introverted than previous years, and since starting high school I've learnt not to care as much about other people. By that I mean I can talk to people easier without being paranoid that they're judging my every action.

Nowadays I'm much more comfortable with myself and couldn't give a toss about what others think. Although saying that, I still get nervous in large groups. O_o
