Are you the same person you were when you were 7?

Definitely not. Some childhood things have remained the same (I still hate brussels sprouts, and I still love classical music, which I was apparently born loving), but many things about me have changed. Hopefully for the better.

No, I'm certainly NOT the same naive, trusting, believing boy. My parents, especially my mother, beat those attributes out of me. Now I'm a old, bitter, cynical, suspicious right wing atheist, but I'm a hell of a lot happier with life.

I've changed in some ways, but mostly I am the same. I remember being 7yrs old and my much older brother getting drafted. It was the Korean war. That was when I became a worrier and now I am still the same. I worry about almost everything.
 
I can remember life at age 7. I was a watchful survivor in a quietly desperate family coping with mental illness.
I'm still a survivor but things aren't so desperate now....not terribly cheerful but fairly functional. You don't need gladness to still be a useful person.

I am a big time worrier, too. They have pills for that ya know and booze...just joking but seriously..
 
No .... (and I remember being age 7 )

I became very distrustful of people as I grew older, and with good reason... so eventually I went from being a timid child to a tough little battler... when in fact I hate conflict .. I'd like to think I'm the same kid deep down inside... but as the title of the song says...

''Life turned her that way''
