There are two of me.

Mister D Nomms:
I'm watching a video of myself from about 2007 and there have been huge changes in my life that can't be changed back. When I see the me in the video I don't see mee in the past. I see another person. I hate that person. I always think of that me as being different from the current me. The current me is picking up pieces from the last one and trying to use them. I've had this cycle going for a while. Instead of one life, I seem to be living many short lives. Sometimes I create content for the new lives to use. I filled 3 or 4 cassette tapes full of nonsensical babbling so that one of my future lives will be able to use it for something.

That is life, we move through different phases and adapt to whatever is thrown at us. It is the human condition. At least you are not like me where you act like two different people depending on what social ring you're in. Humans were born to adapt, we need to to live in all of the different environments. How responsive and flexible we are with these adaptations has to do with our past and personalities.

These changes and reevaluations are part of personal progress and growth, and yes, many times it is a bitch to put up with, but as long as you have confidence in your actions and who you are, you should make personal progress. (That's not to say lack of confidence is negative, we all go through these stages regularly. Just try not to do anything terrible to yourself while you are in these stages)

idontunderstand:
I feel the same way. Also, I often dread major changes in my life, since I know this will mean I will once again become a different person, meaning I could lose a lot of stuff I like about my current self.

Carl-E:
There's so much I want to say to this, and so little that I can.  My life has taken so many unexpected turns, and I've reacted poorly to so many of them that I wonder what kind of person I am at times - certainly not the one I meant to be. 

Oh yeah, I'm putting together the materials for my annual evaluation.  Another disappointing year. 


Pretend this is crosslinked to the pessimism thread. 

Patrick:
I feel this way whenever I see old photographs. It's okay though, because I knew at the time that I didn't like the person that I was then, so I didn't let photos happen very much. Ever since my stint on Albanian reality TV, though, I just stopped giving a fuck. Which became a direct line toward me becoming more like the person I wanted to be. I'm still not there, but then again, none of us are. It's a process.
