Is your personality more or less the same as it was when you were a child?

No. When I was a child I was very quiet, and cowed. I didn't know when saying something would get me slapped in the face. I was afraid to speak when we went to visit our relatives, because there were so many things my mother told me I couldn't talk about. She wanted to impress all of her relatives with how great her life was.

I am still quiet in RL if I don't know you. If I do know someone well, and if I trust you, you I will say whatever I am thinking, and I have a good sense of humor most times.
