Do you identify with the "you" found in old videos, photos, writing, and memories?

Asked by hominid (7357points) February 7th, 2014

When you watch an old video of yourself or see photos, do you easily identify with who you are seeing? Does it feel like “you”?

The person you are witnessing in the video likely has a different understanding of the world, opinions, experiences, physical features, and yet this person is supposed to be you. Sure, it’s easy to talk about how much we’ve grown or changed. But is it fair to say the person in that video is you?
