How have you changed?

Yes I have and am glad that I did. My life wasn't my life at all. I used to do stuffs that would supposedly please my loved ones. I lived for them and in the process failed to realise that it was my life! Then I was into a mess and after a lot I came out of it. Now I am changed person. I do things that I want, that I love and that I have wanted to always. And guess what I am so mu ch happier now. So dear, live life the way you want to and make sure to have me-time - that's what gets us going. Happy living.

yeah, i changed.after all the things that happened to me i can say i am full grown, i'm not the old me who was such a brat. i learned to value simple things and those people who cared for me. i am strong now. and mature.

well,i have changed maybe not in looks.my friends tell me i still look the same as when i was in school.lol. i do not know whether that is good.lol.but personality wise i have changed.i have more patience now after dealing with my kids and certain circumstances which life bought or rather gifted me.i tend to overreact less now.i have calmed down.but i do not have grey hairs while my hubby has.lol.every one tells me i am too much for him to handle.lol.

nope think I am the same person I was 10 years ago just older lol. guess I am stagnated here . I just do and say almost the sam things as I did back then I just have a different audiance!

I know I have changed too. We all do, of course. Life's experiences are supposed to teach us something, right? :) Personally I will not say that I am two different people, but I've changed enough to for the difference to be noticeable.

I have a belief that most people's attitudes and opinions are pretty much set by the time that they are forty and don't change very much afterwards. I'm fifty and I have to say that the past 18 months has seen a big change in me. I used to be very conservative, retiring and very middle class English. Outwardly I still may well look like I am those things. But I have given up my career of 31 years with no idea what I shall do next. I am far more accepting of people differences and lifestyles and engage more with people that I used to do. I do daft things like dancing on impulse; stay up late and care less than I used to about my appearance. One of the wonderful things about this site is that we can meet people that we wouldn't otherwise. I have business people, stay at home mums, writers, musicians and poets, clergymen and former street walkers on my friends list. That's so liberating. Even an Indian teacher!

Tat is a good discussion Sandhya. Yes I can see that I have changed a lot which is strange to me because I never knew that I can become what I am today.Since my childhood I am not denied anything from my parents and from life too.That made me a very proud person who just cannot stand even the smallest mistakes of others.I was always a Mr.Perfect since I could afford to be so.I never stopped to realize the constraints the other poor things have except their stupidity from being perfect.Now I have changed.I have started to look in to the plights of others in their daily life.Every one has his or her priority to run the family and life and I have come to understand that the niceties can wait for their turn.I have shed my short temper,my irritably towards the stupidity and have become patient, understanding and passionate. And I can see the two main factors that contribute a lot into your changing.Aging and the concern and responsibility towards our family.

Well the last ten years of my life have certainly had their ups and downs! (Especially the last 5 - 6 years) And I hope that as a result of my experiences I have become a much better and more well rounded individual. I definitely consider myself to be a lot calmer than I used to be. I also consider myself to be far less trusting than I used to be and exercise much more caution with people I do not know (And even those I DO know!). All of these changes are of course based on experiences and the self realization that certain things NEEDED to change. Who knows what else will change in the NEXT 10 years? I just hope that I change for the better!

Yes, I also feel that same way that I have changed in past 10 years. I have become more patient and humble and I look things in a broader manner. I just do not get into argument, every now and then, may be I was doing it earlier. Experience has taught me a lot. Participation here on mylot has also helped me a change a lot. I have become more optimistic and positive, since I joined here. Dear Friends like you have taught me many new things, which I would not have learnt, had I not been here.

Dear friend, Changes occur in every life as one grows and as one have to face new situations and is in new circumstances. Even the experiences gives new faces for a person in dealing the same situations. More over if people not changed it may effect the betterment of that person. More as the society changes, as technology changes, as climate changes, as the government changes all these effects a persons change in his outlook. Hence I feel it would be better if a person changes unconsciously for the betterment of the society and himself.

I'm more confident now in driving in strange places than I was. When I first got married 17 years ago, and moved several states away, I was terrified and it took 6 months before I felt confident enough to venture out alone. It's much much better now and I've done it quite often since and even drove several states away to visit with our God kids.

Yes, I have changed, as people do over time. I got married, had a child, and those things seem to have shifted my priorities. I spend more time listening to the Wiggles than to the music I used to love. But I don't believe the things that are fundamentally 'me' have changed. I still have the same beliefs, I still like the same things. I still laugh at the same kinds of jokes. I don't believe that the essence of who a person is changes. The natural changes that happen over time should not change who a person is or make them unrecognizable.

I know that I have changed as everyone does. I have changed for the better and have honestly gone back to my own heritage and I respect it for what it is. It was and still is a hard transition to make. I find myself constantly saying words in another language, wherein this isn't necessarily bad, it does remind me of an old friend who taught me this language and has sense betrayed me. To each their own, I always say. I could go on and tell you of the entire details, but I won't. To answer your question : Simply, Yes!

I agree with you..People are changing every time.some change to being nice and some people change to being bad.But me?? I know i was changing in terms of many ways like being not shy to people,i was really shy when i met my husband since then my husband always told me that shy sometimes make you not better person and my husband say try to learn not to be shy..and also not only that.i will change every day or every year,but everytime we change we know that we notice that.

I have changed myself. When you look at it everyone changes as the years progress. The different experiences bring about the change. Situations bring about this change. I can look back and see the things that have changed me. I am a different person from the person who graduated High School. These changes for the most part are not noticed as they happen. All of a sudden a person looks up and thinks when did this happen. Change is not something that happens just once in our life either. It can happen many times. Without our even knowing it has happened. I have heard married people or people in a longtime relationship make the comment the person is not the same person that they married. That the person has changed. So change happens to everyone. The thing each person has to decide is how they are going to handle the realization that things are not the same.

In my case... i think i am still the same old me... but with different priorities now... looking back 10 years ago... i realized that i still want the same things in life... my favorites are still the same... but my outlook and lifestyle have changed... since now that i am a mother... instead of prioritizing what i want... it is now... what is best for my daughter...

Good day..Everyone changes as time brushes up their lives. I do hope that if ever I change, I'll change for the better. Experiences such as pain, love, sorrow, failure and success leaves a mark to our lives.

I have changed a lot so far in both good and bad ways. I have matured as a person and I think that's a good changed that happened to me. The bad things that happened to me however is that I became a little more assertive.Because of this a lot of people find me aloof and unfriendly and sometimes a lot of people don't understand me.

Guess I have changed a lot since 10 years ago. Right now, the way I look at life, is somehow different, probably because I am slowly faced with the realities in this world. But I think the basic core of being me is still the same. Experiences and trials may have molded me into something different, yet my values and and principles have remain intact. I am quite mature right now. lolz.

its normal to have changes, because we learn new things. even if we do mistakes, we can always make it right. changing is part of human nature. so yeahh =) andd I wsa too differentt compared to me liek 5 years ago. I was innocent, a coward, and too nice to people. now, i changed the way i look, the way i talk, the way i confront to people who wants to put me down. haha, it doesnt mean, im mean now, but i can stand for myself. =) well i hope it helps u hahahah
