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

I think it's pretty much the same. I don't think I'm quite as timid as I was when I was a kid, and I'm a little more open-minded now. When my grandma died, when I was 20, it dawned on me that when I die, I won't regret reaching out to someone and being rejected as much as I will regret having kept to myself, and I won't regret having tried and failed as much as I will regret not having tried at all. Losing my grandma made me realize that I only have so much time on earth, and that put some things into perspective. And that helped me not be quite so scared to put myself out there. But I think that other than that, I'm pretty much the same person.
