Has Your Personality Ever Changed?

It seems to me looking back that I've changed a bunch since college. Almost a complete 180.
Old FB post kind of got me thinking about this. I was a partier, publicly opinionated person then. Now, I'm very quiet and reserved. So much so that people consider me awkward, which is hard to grasp because I don't feel awkward. In college, I was highly sociable.
I guess at some point I just got weird in the past 7 years. I can't really pinpoint it. It kind of just snuck up on me.
I've had 3 people that work with me remark in the past week how quiet I am. I don't even know their names to be honest. I just see no reason to socialize with them at work. I even had an old boss fill out a recommendation form for me and under weakness put "Works extremely independently and is very quiet. So much people perceive him as socoally awkward."
Thanks boss.

I'm going to reiterate the same thing I posted in the friends thread: When you start your career and take on more responsibilities you aren't as social. My employees tend to be a bit shocked when they hear old stories or run into me away from work.

I'm very reserved. I forced myself to be more social in college, because I wanted the whole experience. But I've reverted back to my norm. I don't like to be around people that much.

Several times.
Makes me wonder if it ever really changed or did I finally just accept it. I know it temporarily utchanged during periods of alcohol abuse, but even when sober I "changed." But, maybe I didn't, maybe I just uncovered and accepted it

My employees are the same way to some extent. At some point you need to sit down and do work. I just don't care to talk to some people. I guess this makes me awkward. Hell I don't know.
It's hard for me to socialize with 50 plus year old women. Anyone else in my generation never would say that to me. I'm very talkative.

I can't say I identify with the dumb ramblings of 18-22 year old girls. They also don't get that I'm there for a paycheck and paid to give a damn about them.

Had one say this to me today.
I'm jut not as interested in others as I used to be. Putting away childish things, I guess. More focused on myself and family.

I don't know. I'm too alpha to perform self-analysis let alone give a frick about the results of one.
Just keep on keeping on brother.

The only reason people stop partying is because they have kids or can't afford it anymore.

I have to disagree. Going out to shite hole bars gets old. I had more money and could afford to be in a better class of bar. You usually don't have the same environment that you have in a place like Bogie's thus you adapt.

Well, the people that tell me that are typically line employees. Don't make much money, fringely educated. They typically care about having a social network at work
Being that I am responsible for people, I try to keep em at arms length. I'm only over 3 people but still.

I seem to be the opposite of everyone else here. I was shy and awkward until about 25 or 26. Then I became a social butterfly, and I've been that way for the last 5 years.

I have no interest in partying or being hammered in public anymore. Its shameful.
Posted on 8/23/14 at 12:07 am to Cajun Revolution
Yes.
I graduated May '13 & already noticed changes.
Mainly I'm more of a recluse (never use to be shy in public) because I don't want to run into coworkers/clients/etc. that can say "wow brody's lettuce you were quite the show at 'insert bar'". Or running into a colleague at HEB and having to talk about peaches/grapes/tomatoes/whatever.
It's probably more of a I'm young & don't want to frick up in front of people above me thing, but damn I just want to feel normal again.

Well there you go. You've moved on from that. They are still in that stage.
