[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was that kid.

I was at the head of my class and loved by teachers in early elementary.

In older elementary I hung with the mean girls so I imagine I was not so loved.

Early teen years I was awful, especially to my poor mom.

In high school I grew up a bit. I was still very outgoing, but I was kind, very likeable, and made friends easily from all sorts of social groups.

I became a very mellow, laid back adult.  I am still outgoing.

You never know OP. Life experiences shape people quite a bit.

Always remember, there is hope for "mean girls."[/quote]

I wasn't necessarily an extrovert, but I had very, very clear ideas on how things should work, what was fair and unfair and I was not afraid to question authority. Teachers HATED that. Of course, I realize now, who the hell wants a 9 year old telling you that you're not doing something right? Of course, not much in my personality has changed. I was never truly happy in work until I was in a leadership position (less about being in charge, but willingness to take chances and accept responsibility for decisions - good and not so great) At least it stopped feeling like life was 'happening to me' and I was in charge of my own destiny. And I definitely had to learn to be more diplomatic in my message delivery. [/quote]
