Maurice I'm fully confident you're the same cranky and irritable person today that you were when you were younger, even if you think you were much different then. I believe it used to be called dyspeptic.

What specifically do you think has changed about you over time?

I've had friends convinced they have changed remarkably, but I haven't seen them being anyone different from who they were previously. I accept the fact that inside their head they see themselves very differently, but it doesn't much seem to change their behavior.

I'm particularly skeptical of short-fused angry-at-the-world chanting Buddhists who have convinced themselves of their great enlightenment - It's always a thin veneer over their boiling cauldron of upset.

People who become substance dependent and then sober change in many aspects and behaviors, but they belatedly become the matured version of themselves, the natural progression which their substance abuse merely interfered with and delayed.

I speak more languages now than when I was young, I'm more traveled, and I'm more experienced with people over time, but I'm still me. I'm still the same INTJ I was when I was young.
