how have you changed since high school?

happywithme12

I was once a very shy girl who didn't say to much and kept to myself and most of the time let people walk all over me because I couldn't speak up about anything. Since then I have met my husband who is not shy and very outspoken and he has turned my life around for the good, now I speak my mind regularly (sometimes maybe to much for some people). I am very outgoing now and not shy at all. I think I also like the person I am now more than before because I feel as if I am still a good person but cross me and well it's not pretty. So how have my friends on MFP changed since high school, and was it a good change or bad?

i have always been a sarcastic *kitten* but now i focus it in spurts and to those who deserve it

how am i still the same

still laugh at inappropriate things
farting has never been funnier

I've really come out of my shell. I used to be a bit of a trash talker but really had no experience to back any of it up as my mom was VERY strict and didn't allow me out of the castle... uh er, house very much.

I really feel like in high school I wasn't anywhere near as awesome as I am now. Lovin' life!

When I was in high school I had long black hair (think Cher) Now I have short blonde hair.
When I was in high school I was probably 25 lbs thinner (that's why I'm on MFP)
When I was in high school I was a "goody two shoes"...now definitely NOT!:laugh:

farting never gets old especially for people who don't care and just do it whenever and wherever, and innappropriate things are always funny as well. that puberty thing is a *kitten* lol. Being a sarcastic *kitten* is the best way to be because soooooooooo many people deserve it

I am a lot more confident, because of my size in high school I was very shy and introverted, now I won't shut up and make friends easily

This *kitten*! When I kept wishing to be older, I didn't envision all this crap!

happywithme12

I've changed a lot. I'm no longer very social and I really don't party anymore.

not a bad thing when you have kids and they become more important than anything else

_noob_

I've gotten stronger and smaller.

"me" has not changed much at all. I got "me" right at a very early age. I just struggled some years accepting that "me" would be accepted by others.

Then my wife came along and totally messed that up...

I was 145 lbs when I graduated from high school...size 27-28 jeans....

I'm now starting to get down from my 210 high (currently at 187)....

So I got a lot fatter...not bigger...just fatter.

No longer drink...no longer smoke (an illegal substance)..etc..etc..

I'm just all around a much less interesting person LOL!

pseudomuffin

I figured out how to identify poisonous people in my life and got rid of them. I'm a lot happier for it :flowerforyou: I didn't know what real love and respect was then, either, and now that I've finally figured THAT out it makes a lot of sense why I was so miserable before.

I'm still a quirky, introverted nerd but I learned how to embrace that. I'm also super girly now but was a huge goth back then... Ballet flats are much easier to walk around in than combat boots and my gorean collar gets less looks than the dog collar I used to wear did :blushing:

I am NOTHING like I was in High School, thankfully. HS sucked.

I'm much more confident now than I used to be in high school. I was still awesome in high school, it's just that very few people knew how awesome I was because I was awesome only with my friends and shy to everybody else. Now all my awesome is IN YOUR FACE! Yep, that's about it.

Jerrypeoples

i awesomed in a girls face, man she was not happy

SoViLicious

I no longer kiss boys because they are jocks. Now I kiss them because they buy me stuff. I also have a killer sense of style and have way confidence. I don't get hurt as easily and I bounce back from embarrassment easier.

I got fatter! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

High School was so long ago that I don't really remember that girl anymore. I guess I am more confident and outspoken. I got married had a kid. I am MUCH happier now.

dang, I thought all women just ate up all the awesomeness.

I was very insecure, fell "in love" with a guy simply because he paid attention to me, was friends with anyone that would take me, was very shy. etc.. Now I've learned what I actually want in a guy and in friends, i don't settle for things I don't really want. I'm more outgoing and more secure with who I am. I still have work to do in regard to my self esteem and self worth but I'm getting there.

Me too!

Well let's see. Since HS I'm 65 lbs heavier (used to be more but that was before I lost 20), I'm no longer the goody two shoe I used to be...at least not to the same extent, and I actually talk to people now.

Too many ways to mention (thank god!).

In high school I was a size 16, very outgoing, and kind of a bad student (C's across the board usually). 11 years later I'm a size 6, really shy, and a CPA with two master's degrees. Figures!
