How do the past versions of yourself compare to who you are right now?

Asked by raum (13207points) December 6th, 2021 from iPhone

Recently saw a meme that read:

“If you knew me in high school, you no longer do. Come meet me all over again.”

“Same. But don’t come meet me.”

It made me laugh. But it also got me thinking. Yes, I’m not the person I was in high school.

Yet, I’d also say that my grade school friends still know the core part of who I am. Maybe more so than some college friends.

On one hand, you would think the closer to your current age would be the closest to your current self.

Yet the older you get, the more walls go up. There’s a certain open innocence in childhood.
