What were you like as a child?

Claire

Have you changed much? Not just in appearence but your personality at well, food preferences?

I haven't changed much. Lol. I'm still little, still childish, still spooked by adults and strangers. I still like toys. I look youthful, like I'm in my early teens still. Food wise I'm still like a kid I like all the sweet stuff.

I'm in my twenties now but honestly I am still like I was when I was a kid just I don't go to school now.

  • My biggest change is that I think I've 'mellowed' in personality for better or worse and I don't know how much of that is especially depression related. As a child I was still shy and difficult with strangers but I was more vocal at least with people that I found myself comfortable around (not always positively comfortable like friends, just familiar enough people that I may have already alienated and don't get along with). Sometimes I think I'm too quiet nowadays, sometimes I forget what I even sound like xD

    Another part of me that's mellowed I feel is anger. I used to be quicker to get frustrated as a child. I have trouble with displaying my emotions at all now, probably the other extreme but I certainly don't get frustrated easily.

    But honestly, I think that elements where I haven't changed is part of the problem, I still feel like a scared kid in an adult body.

    I saw someone mention food and I guess that's something I've noticed change. I wouldn't say I was especially picky as an eater but as I've grown older I'll pretty much eat anything including things I didn't used to like. I still find myself picking some of the 'bits' out of sauces sometimes but otherwise I'm easy and take whatever I get. That being said, I would rather stick to foods I know and consider 'safe' more under the logic of 'if I really don't like it, I don't have anything else ready and I don't want to skip a meal' and I'm conscious of wastage (especially considering the costs, I don't want to waste).
