From pre-teen/teenage years to young/mid adulthood? I'm not speaking so much about thoughts or opinions but more mannerisms and behaviours. I find that I am much more reserved in my 20s than I was as a teen. I was pretty much a diva in high school and very outspoken (loud) but I've simmered down throughout the years. I also can't stand buuq anymore. Anywhere that's way too live, I probably won't even go but a couple years back That would defo be my scene. I also can't do anything after work; I literally dread making plans after I clock out cause all I want to do is go home and unwind.

More reserved, not as nice as I was

I never knew anything about qabil, but after several months on snet, I think I can write a full encyclopedia about somali qabils (upto sub-sub-sub-sub clan). I learned to standup for my s/landers and diss anyone from a qabil which isn't a native of s/land. When I see any somali, I try to guess their qabil and most of the time I'm correct (by connecting dots, birds of a feather flock together). Life is a bitch then you become one.

I'm more focused, have direction. I'm more independent and headed in the right direction. There was a time where I could have fell off the deep end. I was open as a kid then I got reserved without even knowing it but now I'm more open. I'm also more outgoing and enjoy life more and actively try to make the most of it. I've also become more of a family man. Alx with every difficult comes ease.

Jamal it's funny as a kid I was more qabilist knew my whole abtiris knew all the qabils and which ones were sworn enemies but now I'm less and like all Somalis.

more organised and more confident.

higher self esteem and being less naive.

cautious about some things but still like risks

i am actually opposite

i was very quiet and shy until my first year in college.

i became more social and outgoing

When I bump into old friends I am told that I haven't changed at all.

Although, somewhat negative- I feel that I was once able to tolerate pretentious small talk. I can feel the capability decreasing.
Positive and slightly in contrary- I don't know if it is due to the influx of disappointment, but I have come to realise that my obsession with the people's kind/magical moments has grown to an unbearably optimistic degree.

Think I'm also more independent,

I was a brat in my teens, I've learned to appreciate the little things, plus I stopped being a drama queen. I became more tolerant to others. I also stopped being vicious. I've alot more patience now. I've changed for the better. Alxamdullillah.
