Do you feel that you are the same person you were ten years ago?

no because now my life has been coloured by constant pain (due to several health issues) and being poor.

My life is soo much different than 10 years ago. I would have a hard time believing anybody who would say that their life was the same as 10 years ago. The whole world has changed so much, that if we didn't change with it we wouldn't survive

Hi Pose: I agree with you. We change in a lot of aspects, specially when we are growing up. Now I'm 22 so ten year ago I was just 12 and I've definetly changed a lot these last ten years. When I think about the way I act I'd say that in some aspects I'm a better person now but in some others, at that moment I haven't passed for some bad situations that I have to pass through so it depends the way we see our past if we think about it as a positive or negative moment. But we definetly change. Thanks for asking us this question. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

No I am a totally diffferent person to what I was ten yearts ago and I put that down to the fact that I am now a mother, a wife and much more of a responsible individual now than I was 10 years ago. Back than I was just 22 years old and I had just bought my first house, I was out working and partying at the weekends. My life now could not be more different. I do agree with you that experience is a teacher and I do think my mind is much more open and questions things a lot more than it used to.

staying the same way today as ten years ago i think is not possible - and i don't mean just physically. we all go through everyday experiences and whether we like it or not (or whether we are aware of it or not) those experiences impact our lives. we learn from those experiences and we change because of them. hopefully the changes make us better persons.

yeah i do think like that..it's because of my pictures..i look kinda chubby in my school years and i could not believe all my friends were ok with that!! i mean no one told me to get a diet or cut on my eating habit..i don't knwo whether they were being nice or what..but i hate my look at that time..but sometimes it's also funny..don't you think so?

It is just a feeling that you are the same person ten or so plus years ago, that is in terms of thinking, work habits, attitude, and whatever you did in the past. But as you age, your body weakens and although you feel you are still strong, but actually you are not. Age matters, of course.

Well, I think that I'm a lot smarter now than I was ten years ago. Experience can really teach you a lot in life. It would be wonderful to go back in time and keep the experience that we have acquired for so many years.

I am not the same as I was 10 days ago and I don't want to be. If I can't learn and change constantly I want out, why stay here if all the lessons have been learned?

You are absolutely correct. We should grow everyday. If we do not that means that we become stale and will not grow. Hopefully we will see the change is for the better.

I must say I AM the same. Well, OK, not completely. I'm smarter, but I have the same feelings, thoughts, things that I like, hobbies... I am the same all my life. When I was 3, 10, 20, and now, 31... What I was as a child. I liked the same things all my life. Primary school, final work, I have to write ten pages... I wrote 250!!!! A dissertation:) Faculty, 15 years later, write 8 pages for the final seminar... again the same... I liked to draw, paint, I like it now... I adored reading all my life... I loved medieval and classic music as a child already, I adore it now... Politicians couldn't trick me with lies then, cannot now... I wear black all my life... I never wore women clothes...

Definitely not the same person. I was 16 ten years ago and I was really young. I was demanding and I never stopped until I get what I want. I was demanding in a way that I was pushing people around and that's not really good. I was young and stupid, I didnt know any better of course. But a friend taught me a lesson about that. I was hurt when my friend taught me that lesson but I was still thankful for him when that incident happened cause it made me what I am today.

Yes I agree with you. I am pretty sure I'm not the same person ten years ago. I have lots of good and bad experiences that shaped me to the person I am now. I learned a lot of lessons that changed me to a better person. Of course I also develop bad habits but overall I think I'm a lot better person now.

Yes and no. I still love fashion but I don't dress the same. I love all the music that I liked then but I also have a new found appreciation for alot of different stuff now. I would say the biggest difference would be that 10 years ago I took alot of crap off of people just to keep the peace and now I have no tolerence for drama.

Yes I agree with you I am certainly not the same Person I was 10 years ago and I am glad that I am not any more As now I am the real me not the scared Person I was

Absolutley! I look back ten years and I wish I could turn back the hands of time and do some things differently and others I would do the same. I probably should have persued writing more than I did. Who knows I might have been good or not. Am I the same person? I would have to say that quote, "with age comes wisdom", really does make the difference between young and "dumb", and shall we say, more expeirienced and wiser. Now I take more time to reason things out rather just react to them. The situatuation makes no difference. I just slow down and look at all the particulars of something before I "act" and not "re-act". The second way I am different is, and this is probably the most important lesson for me, to "Think" before I "act". You are right about life being a teacher. It's up to each individual to benefit from the lessons and adjust there lives accordingly. So Yes, I look back in my life and ask myself "Did I really do or say that"? Don't we all?
