Just like you i am very sensitive when i was younger . Being the eldest , i was authoritative . But now , i mellowed . I want to do my share of caring to my sister because i am the eldest . I guess , we change for the better , because we now know what is right and what is wrong so we can be loved by other people .

I too was more unhappy when I was younger. Now I have rotten sense of humor, and feel no need to restrict me from being me. It is pretty liberating factor and unbelievably enjoyable stuff.

@vandana7 I have both mild and dark sarcastic sense of humor, and I can find fun out of everything. I think my dark phase is passing slowly. So yeah that's why I am seeing new of myself every day. otherwise i was in such a loop.. now i feel free on many things now.

You have changed into a better person for sure.

I am so happy to hear this testimony and while reading I could identify myself with you. My new self is certainly very different from the old. The changes did not come instantly, it happened little by little everyday, God keeps changing me into a person He wants me to be.

I think inwardly I'm still the same person I always was. I'm also very sensitive, and I do get hurt and offended easily, but I'm learning to deal with it better than in the past. Outwardly, I've changed a lot. I've put on a gross amount of weight which thankfully is starting to come off.
