This is a real problem with changing your mind.
I can't believe how many times I've been told I've changed when I no longer found something funny or said something that I wouldn't have in my teen years.
One of the longest-running opinions of mine that hasn't been disproved yet is that many people just don't really mature or age mentally, it seems; they just grow older, without accumulating much if any wisdom.
Some grow wiser, but one of the lessons of my 20s has been you have to do it on purpose. Iโm not wiser than I was 5 years ago on accident.
