Anyone else feels like they are the exact same person they were in high school/as a teenager? I have the same problems, interests, views about life, anxieties, it's like I didn't change at all

That applies to everyone, whether they feel it or not. People don't change. Only changlings change.

Actually, I feel really different to when I was in school. Everything pretty much changed about my views and my social life, and my appearance even when I went to Uni.
It's interesting, though. What caused you to not change do you think. OP? Did you stay in the same environment?

Every four years all of the cells in your body that you had are already replaced by new ones, making you an entirely new person. Everything else is just a noise that your brain makes.
Matthew Richardson
Kinda, but I changed for the worse. Now I hate people more than ever.
James Williams
22 next month, still feel like when I was in high school. Only difference is that iam nolonger fat and started to watch anime instead of playing vidya.
Did parents help you with every little thing outside school/home? Like driving to doctor/shop etc?

Yeah, the more you do stuff by yourself, the more you have to change to accomodate fulfilling those needs. And when you realise its hard to socialise outside school, you often have to change to meet those needs too.

Bullshit. You can drive, go to the grocery and everywhere else on your own. If you're missing classes just ask someone on the chat group. I don't call that socializing at all and I have no intention to.

I can't really connect with the me from 7 years ago to be honest. I used to be passionate, cared a lot more openly about others and generally tried to be socially competent.
I've spiraled downwards to the passionless, secluded person I have become now. Dealing with others is a drag. My younger self would resent me.

I started browsing Jow Forums right after HS.Much that I learned I was already aware of when I was in 12th grade, but it did help to confirm my suspicions that life isn't worth living. I've changed from being an optimist to being a pessimist
Jonathan White
I was always like that so I guess I couldnt go any deeper
Asher Collins
But that's surely a little different than your parents doing it for you, right? That's the point I was making. It might not be immediately obvious at first, but I think taking the responsibility to do all that stuff does actually provoke a change in the person.
Michael Rogers
Yeah, but I don't even mind it as most kids do. I just do it because I have to. It's certainly different but I don't see all this responsibility thing.
Bentley Brooks
Did you even need Jow Forums to understand that? The main reason I'm here is that I'm anonymous all the time. Even if I were to argue with everyone like in most communities no one will even know it was me.
Christian Barnes
literally the only thing that has changed is where I'm at. I dress the same, still listen to the same stuff, it feels pretty bad to be 26 with no growth
Carson James
I guess you're right. It's not the sort of change you'd see in yourself. But other people would certainly perceive you as a more grownup and trustworthy individual so I'd take something from that.
Luke Stewart
Sadly that doesn't count when everyone is able to do the same thing.
Isaac Lee
Everyone in the adult world, sure, but it still would distinguish you from your highschool self.
Christopher Phillips
>Did you even need Jow Forums to understand that?
no i didn't. I have been integrated into it's culture which directly opposed my former self
Isaac Roberts
Kind of, I guess? I'm a lot less hopeless now than I was back then. At least I grew up to be okay looking and socially competent enough to achieve cyborg status and lose my virginity.
Interests are more or less the same, though.
Caleb Myers
Shit this post hit way too close to home. I wish I could go back to being the better me, I hate what I've become.
Joseph Hill
Because you are the same person. Character is immutable.
Parker Lopez
Yeah. I remember one day thinking "I'm 22 years old" and I just started repeating it over and over to myself because it just did not sound right
