I'm getting to the age where the farther back in time I go, the more my old self seems really unfamiliar or even a completely different person.
I feel like the person I was 6 months- to 1 year ago wasn't all that different than what I am now and can understand pretty well. But go 2-3 years and suddenly I... can't really make sense, or remember well who I was. I even have to ask my parents what I was like even 5 years ago.
That brings me to another strange phenomenon. How is it that other people remember more about you than you do of yourself? I can't remember anything I used to do when I was in 9th grade, yet my friend can name several times I would burst out laughing for no reason.
It could be that they're older than me- like my mom remembering what I'd do as a baby cause well.... I was obviously too young to remember that. But with my friend, who's the same age as me, she still seems to remember more about me than I do.
So though it's true that "you know the most about yourself", which does apply to some things... but at the same time, I also feel like other people probably know more about me than I know about me.
Idk, it's just curious how that happens.

I changed a lot junior year, I think. I learned some things, grew up a little. I'm a senior now.
I recognize the person I was a couple years ago, but in kind of a sad, distant way. There are a lot of things I wish she knew, and a lot of things I wish she'd never had to find out.

This almost sounds like a type of disassociation but not quite it.
But yes, 100% cannot recognize past me.
I also can't recognize a happy me.
Or customer service me, they are so fake.

I feel like I know more about myself than the people around me. I did change after middle school, and I'm in college now.

I used to be a brave person. Then I was a person who thought they were cool by sending out stories in the form of emails. Then I was an Intellectual. Then I was a coward. Then, I focused on my love for opera and became the only fan of opera and Darkstripe in the whole wide world. And now I think I'm finally content with myself.

I thought this was gonna be something really spiritual and weird.
I was more annoying then than I am now. For a while I was a shy and crazy little girl, and in the middle of second grade I became random, all the way to sixth grade. I got quite, I got nervous, and really, I stopped liking people. Just recently I fell back into being into a hyper, finger gunning, pun making ****, but I still can't stand being social. I am an extremely talkative extrovert who simply can't stand being around people.

I can remember some things, but it's as if the memories aren't my own. Like I saw them in a movie or read them in a book.
I have a good memory for facts, but my past is a blur. I also have trouble connecting memories to the time in which they happened... Like, I have trouble remembering if xyz happened in freshman, sophomore,or junior year of high school. Rather than having a timeline of memories, I have a jumbled box of them.

the person I am as an adult is practically the mirror opposite of who I was in high school. I still don't know which was the better version of myself

i dont know anything about who i am. like i dont know if im nice or mean or smart or dumb. i cant comprehend anything about my personality. which is why i like when people tell me what im like i guess this is litterally me although i have a vague concept of being some things. personlity tests more like "who am i"
