If you knew long ago that you would turn out this way, would you have made more of an effort to be who you wanted to be in life?
If someone showed you a video of your future to you when you were a kid about how you will be, do you think you'd have done everything in your power to make sure it didn't happen? Act tougher, talk more, befriend more people, put on a confident front (even if you just faked it for others) etc.?
When you're older you can't just change personalities because so much has happened in your life, and people remember you as 'you', the weirdo who shyed away from everyone, who had nothing to say, who did this or didn't do that and so on.
It would have been so much simpler when you were a kid to develop a personality/ attitude because at that age you don't care as much or carry the worries of what others think of you.
I think if I would have toughened up a little I would have been better prepared for life, not have panic attacks each time I go out alone, have friends, go anywhere without worrying about anything, everything normal people can do without a second thought.
