how much have you changed since you joined TBT?

[cornimer]

I was 16 when I joined and now I'm 22, so I've grown up a bit:

-Found my own style
-Defined my beliefs more, and what I like and don't like
-Learned some warning signs of a toxic relationship
-Gained a little bit of self-respect
-Entered the workforce, so learned how to be a good worker and learned about my strengths and weaknesses

Hopefully I'll continue to grow in more ways in the coming years!

I was 12 when I joined TBT and in middle school. Now I'm 22, married, own a house, have a bachelor's degree, and have a full-time job. I have definitely been through a lot of life events but in reality I'm still the exact same person I am 10 years ago except I now have some semblance of self-control online.

I cut off all my hair (it was pretty long when I was younger) and I am now more depressed lol

I joined back in January, so I can't say all too much. I'm definitely less shy than I was back then and my depression is slowly limiting itself to be seasonal.

It is hard to say, but I would like to say that I have opened up more and became more open minded about some things. I feel more comfortable posting even though I still have anxiety and edit them like crazy (maybe more so since in some ways my anxiety has gotten worse but my coping methods have improved). I have made so many friends in the last few months.

i joined the site while i was still in middle school, and said a lot of stuff i regret now because i didn't really have a filter or know how to interact with strangers online. i've matured, improved at my hobbies, made my first close friend and many new friends, know what i want to do with my life, and i’ll be graduating highschool next summer!

1000 percent more confident and independent

I've fallen in and out of love multiple times, put several loved ones in the ground, become addicted to gaming, become addicted to substances, recovered from both, become addicted to exercise, and have become far too invested in social media.

well i was 11 when i joined and now im 16, so i have definitely changed a lot. i read back at my old threads and posts here and cringe so hard at them because it's so embarrassing to look back at now. but i was barely entering middle school when i joined, now im a junior in high school... it's crazy how much time flies by ;( ive certainly gone through a lot in these past 5 years, i grew more confident from the shy girl i was in middle school, i made friends and lost some, my personality as a whole has just changed so much.

I joined maybe a month ago?? so I would say I probably haven't changed that much haha

That was 6 years ago! I was 17-18. Was still playing Wild World all day and night. Mannnnn I miss it!!!!! WW OST best soundtrack.

Had some hiccups getting here, but definitely had a whole 180 since joining. :') full-time job, marriage, bought my own car. I'm hoping by next tbt anniversary we'll be in a house

I'm now in my later 20s and did a huge shift from a humanities-based education to a computer sciences-based career.

I also got more socially awkward.
