Since you turned 18 and an adult, how have you changed as a person compared with then?. Myself, i was quiet naive and probably too trusting and now i have have the confidence to stand up for myself. |

I have been a sponge my whole life, I soak up every experience and try and learn from every one. I have enjoyed every minute and I plan to continue... i am older, but most certainly wiser. |

I'm a bit less of a tomboy. Also, when I was 18 I was very involved in politics -I've since grown much more cynical, sadly. I thought I would never be the cynical old person, but I seem to gravitate to that with every year I add on.
But last year I decided to actively think more optimistically and I think it's working, for the most part.

I tend to think that young people are idealists and so are old people. Pragmatism is just the saggy bit in the middle   |

I'm a totally different person to I was at 18. The life experiences of 25 years has made me grow and evolve leaving me far happier with the 43 year old me than I ever was with the 18 year old version |

When I was 18 I was quick to let my emotions get the better of me and fly off the handle. I was convinced the world was out to get to me and was in self destruct mode and I wouldn't let anyone in to help me. I had zero confidence in myself as well.
Now I'm more likely to open up and I speak my mind way more. I'm much better at not letting my emotions get the better of me too. I'm still not very confident but I put a very good show on so people think I have loads of confidence. Fake it 'Til you make it lol.
That was way too serious. Sorry!  |

When I was 18, I was just about to start my career and my education. Partied a lot, too.
Now I know more, I'm calmer and I have a different career. I think I'm the same personality wise, I just do different things. |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
I am still passionate about the same things I was back then but now it's tempered with pragmatism.
I look pretty much the same but fatter. I look like the 18 year old me got blown up with bicycle pump.
I have the same libido I had back then too but without the fear of pregnancy.

I like this thinking. So I just have to get through this middle bit with some optimism  |

I was constantly pissed as a fart when 18, not sure what my personality was like but i'm sure it was depressed and gave too much of a shit, i also was interested in a lot of people and very naive.
Been sober a couple of dacades now and don't really give a shit any more, got rid of people outta my life who drag it down, don't care that much about other people but they made me this way with their bullshit.
I'm a lot more hardened and guarded now. |

That's the one... think of it as just a phase you're going through. The idealism was right... but you can't for the life of you remember the fuck why |

"I still have the same personality traits (both positive and negative) so I'd say I'm still quite similar, but now I'm better and fatter."
yes I agree you stay the same in the mind but the body changes I am very fit so my body hasn't changed too much  |

I moved to China on my own aged 18 and held down a job and had my own flat out there.
I grew up a lot out there (but not too much, I still love a little immature fun every now and then) |
