    Describe your person in general ten years ago from today.


    I asked my mother this yesterday as an opinion of me when I was 6. In a nutshell, she described me as quiet, intelligent, (very) cautious, easily agitated, and not as argumentative. I never spoke unless I could speak perfectly and constructed complete sentences; I always observed everything around me in the fashion of a feline.

    It was enlightening to think about, to say the least.
     
    Socially inept, annoying piece of **** who thought she knew everything. Was always reading and refused to follow instructions unless they were something she wanted to do. Mother didn't see that ofc and she thinks it's silly that I hate how I was so much. She says I was quiet, shy, and overly cautious and whatever else.
     
    An ADHD nerd. The only difference is now I'm taller.
     
    Depressed, pissed off, quite. I don't even want to think about 10 years ago. I'm a completely different person than I was back then.
     
    I wasn't particularly happy at school this time ten years ago, 8th grade was the worst for me because it was a transitional period at school and they were asking a lot of things of me that I wasn't yet quite comfortable with. That's not to say I was depressed or anything, just not taking to it quite as well as most of the other kids.

    9 years ago I was back to being A-O-K though lol
     
    Hmm. When I was 10 I was a bit of a bully I think. Only in my circle of friends though like we would purposefully go around picking on each other and then fight and whatever but everything would be returned to exactly how it was originally. Kind of like an episode of a generic cartoon, where things happen but everything resets. Like in the Simpsons how Lisa is still technically in second grade even after like 20 years or whatever. I don't know, I was also intelligent and funny. I liked to laugh apparently, so yeah.

    Just found out, I was also a thief and really sneaky about getting things from people. So there's that hah thanks mum.

    was that your FINDING YOURSELF OUT phase? and 9 years ago you were #gettingsome then?

    as for 12 year old me

    oh god I was a little ****

    I mean, I've really mellowed out now in comparison to how I was when I was 12. I was surprisingly polite, but had absolutely no filter at all around anyone and it caused me a lot of trouble with a lot of people 8D
     
    I thought 4Kids was the coolest thing ever. Also spent a lot of time on virtual pet sites, namely Neopets and Nutrinopets. Didn't have as many issues with social anxiety as I do now, as I hadn't hit middle school yet.
     
    Hmm, 9 years old I was entering 4th grade at around this time. My best friend from second grade was in my class as well, and we always tried to get a seat next to each other. I was still facing other social struggles though growing up. At home though I was watching Saturday morning cartoons on Kids WB and playing Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire.
     
    I was 7 years old and in like, second grade or something. Unfortunately my memory doesn't really go back that far, but I'm sure I was a pretty happy 7 year old which is not really like I am now. :P I think as a kid I was even quieter and more interested in books, too.
     
    I was clueless with fashion, how to do my hair, hopeless with any kind of makeup. As a result, even though I was 17 I looked like a 14 year old (I had a 14 year old hit on me - that's my proof).

    It all turned around for me when I started earning money, bought a particular pivotal skirt and watched Next Top Model.

    Personality wise, I was more reserved and less serious. Since 17 is already mostly adult, there hasn't been too much change in my character - just my style.

    Edit: Not to say I'm super stylish at the moment - but I'm waaaaaaaaay better than I was.

    When I was nine, I was probably the happiest kid you could meet. All I did all day was hang out with friends, because I couldn't get enough social interaction.

    My how things have changed.
     
    I don't remember what I was like when I was 12.

    I was really into Yu-Gi-Oh.
    I did karate and would duel with others while I was waiting for my lesson.
    I played soccer on the soccer team.
    I was in band playing trumpet.
    I spent every single day of the summer at my best friends' house.
    I got my bike stolen by some thugs right in front of my eyes.

    That's all I can think of.
     
    I was 12 and adjusting to the transition of moving in with my mother. My dad was a mad alcoholic at the time, so my relationship with him and his side of the family got really sour.

    Because of these things, I was relatively angry/depressed most days. I was new at my school and got picked on for being a bookworm and whatnot. The school was in a very rural area, so rednecks were the main people around. I did not relate. I had no friends. I spent my time outside of school grounded (poor grades). I slept and read books for fun. 9-9 I still haven't fully recovered from being picked on so much, because even my brother (who attended the highschool) refused to acknowledge me. My sister stayed with dad and when I visited, she and her friends would gang up on me and make fun of me. I suffer pretty severe insecurity, but I try my best to cover it up and be confident. I've improved a lot since.
     
    I was a happy go lucky fat kid playing Pokemon Sapphire on my Gameboy Advance for hours on end.
     
    Aw, that's sad ): Anyway, at age 13 I was always getting myself into trouble too, in school I had gotten a fair share of detentions and even in summer school I was not regarded as the most well behaved student. I had gotten the beat to me several times in the year. So yeah, 2004 = not my best year. That was when I started to join forums where I felt I didn't fit at all.
