writes:I have already asked several other questions on this site to why I have changed in recent years but out of all of them this is my biggest question. I used to be very rebellious against society. what ever was the norm i did the opposite. I used to hate the popular and sporty kids at my school. i thought they where arrogant and even immature, that is until i became one of them. there social groups over time rubbed off on me and i became what i once hated. the girls at my school persuaded me to join the cheer leading squad, a sport i used to dread. over time i learned to enjoy it as well as accept the fact that i had become a preppy kid.i suddenly became outgoing, a true girly girl, something i never thought i would be. all because of the changes i took on., but what i dont understand is why i changed,? was it the influence of the groups around me or something else? I was pressured by everyone in the school to join the team, really because i was good at physical activity even though i hated sports, but over time i began to enjoy them and become excited over them. I became what others wanted be to be, i conformed if you will, but what i dont understand is why i changed? over the years it seemed like a new person was building up inside me and i was powerless to stop it. i went from being a unique individual to being one with the crowd. now i am not saying i want to change back, i am just wanting to know why i might have changed?

reader, anonymous, writes (14 June 2012): You could say that you haven't "really" changed - rather, you were always capable of taking on the traits you have today. What "really" changed may have just been your environment - the people who were talking to you, etc. If your environment changed back to what it was previously, perhaps you'd start behaving the way you did in the past too.
