• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

how much have you changed since you joined TBT?

I joined during a year off from school for mental health reasons. I had also just lost my sister. I’ve since gotten on medication, gone back to school, finished med school, moved out on my own and am now a resident. I guess a lot has changed!
 
I'd say quite a bit. I joined about 6.5 years ago, and yeah, I'd say a lot has changed. Given, I was active for about two years (maybe less than that, not sure), then went basically inactive for another 4 to 4.5 years, and then just revived this account a few months ago.
 
I joined the forum back when I was 15. It's been nearly five years since then and a lot has changed... but I wish it was for the better. Yeah, my posts back then were probably embarrassing and cringy, and I know a lot more about myself now than I used to, but I was a lot happier then, for many reasons. I was hoping that this year would be the year things could finally turn back round for me, but with the current situation going on all around the world... yeah I don't think that's happening anytime soon. :(
 
I joined when I was like 18 or something, but I only ever made like 5 posts then took a 6 year break and only came back for New Horizons.

I feel as though I haven't changed at all over those 6 years. I like the same stuff, talk the same way, think the same. For better or worse, of course.
 
its been 7 years since i first joined :oops: probably made some cringy posts back then too. But in another couple of years I'm going to find these posts I'm making now just as cringy 😂

so yeah I'm the same
 
Just about everything has changed since I joined lol! I joined in 2014 when I was about 13 years old and I'm now 18. Lemme make a list.
-I have a different irl name now/found out I was trans
-Stopped going to dance lessons
-Had a five year episode of depression/other mental health stuff
-Started recovering from said episode/eating properly
-Made my first online friends on here
-Lost one of my first online friends on here
-Graduated high school
-Generally stopped being such a cringelord/horrible person
-Also I can drive a car now lol

2020 me and 2014 me are basically different people!
 
A lot, thank god lol.
I had an account before that was a bit older than this one, so I joined at 14. My art was soooooo bad, and I remember posting it and crying to my mom when people didn’t praise it. I also just acted like 14, which I’m sure makes sense to a lot of you. I’m 20 now, and happy to say I think my art and communication skills have improved! Also, I’m in college right now perusing my dream career, much different than the 8th grader I was.
 
I ended up joining TBT almost 5 years ago due to the group I was a part of at the time containing a bunch of TBT members, though I never used my account until a month ago. I'm glad that never used my account back then, because man, things would've been disastrous, lol. I was just broken as a person back then, but I never realized it for the longest time. But things ended up changing roughly a year and a half ago for me, and I've improved and grown a ton since then and am a lot happier with my life and who I am now, though I'm still trying to improve myself however I can, day by day.
 
i’ve been here for a month but so i can’t say i’ve changed much but i have started using emoticons (is that what they’re called?) rather than emojis ;-; my friends not from this forum find it weird though ;c
 
This is a wonderful discussion question! I’ve changed quite a lot since I joined the Bell Tree in 2011!

I used to be very timid, even the first time I was a moderator I was still pretty shy. The Bell Tree holds a very special place in my heart. I know it’s silly, it’s a forum...but the friends I’ve made here have literally saved my life. I found happiness here and a very good friend helped me escape a very bad situation. Now I’m actually living life, something I was never allowed to do when I was younger. I have a family with my best friend too which is amazing! Who knew my life could change so much over a little animal crossing forum? I would say I’ve changed and grown up a lot since then!
 
lmfao at my join date, yikes..
obvs character/physical/emotional development. tbt was a big part of my adolescence.
 
Oh my where to begin, back in 2016 and 2017 about 4 years ago I was going through ALOT severely depressed at 13 (middle school) and I just was a mess (on here I was a big trouble maker) its crazy how I'm finishing up junior year in high school going to senior year! Almost 18 with a job and a lot more mature since I'm almost an adult later this year but I do still struggle with depression and I have some life issues unfortunately but I'm hoping those will resolve with time. My posts in my early days were so cringeworthy its crazy so I tend to forget I existed back in 2016! Took a long hiatus since 2018 was the worst year of my life and it was absolutely horrible since lots of things went on that are very personal but I came back months ago for NH and im enjoying my time back on here!
 
i joined when i was a teen and now im actually an adult. i was actually pretty emotionally invested in the forums when I started but now i take things less seriously on the internet
 
i believe i joined in 2014 and i have changed so much since then. i started playing new leaf around november 2013 and joined tbt not long after. i graduated later in 2014 and was going through a lot. i feel like a completely different person now. ive got through so many phases and things since then.

i recently got back into tbt with new horizons and i’m sure i’ll look back on even this post and think i was so different.
 
joined 4 years ago and i've changed a lot.
particularly age & maturity-wise....
 
I feel like I have matured alot and haven't matured a lot? I mean, I joined when I was 15 so I had matured a lot since then but I still have a hard time conveying tone over the internet which worries me.
 
I joined 6 years ago (took a hiatus) and since then I graduated school, moved 700 miles away, and am in a much better place mentally. I’m proud of my growth and everyone else’s on here 💕
 
i joined tbt when i was 11 and i'm now 18, so i've spent a lot of my most formative years on the forum, and i find it insane to think that i've stuck with tbt regardless how much i've changed and so many of my other interests have changed. when i joined i very much talked like i was 11. i had my grump early teen years where i ran my mouth a little bit, i remember arguing with people a fair amount and thinking i was a god and very correct when in reality i probably made zero sense. as i've gotten older i've used the forums less, but i think 11 year old me would be pretty happy with 18 year old me. crazy to think i made this account when i'd just finished primary school, and i'll be off to london for university this september.
