My earliest memory I can think of was when I was about 4 years old. I was at a school fair and with my friend. The fair was indoors and had all sorts of games to play. One of the games was mini golf where you had to hit the ball into a paper trash bag. I was too shy or scared to go up there by myself, so I got my friend to come with me. AFter the courage to finally go play the game, I got a prize and was happy I went. I only remember this memory because there's a picture of me playing the game. I only remembered this because I was thinking back at pictures I've seen.
My personality has definitely changed. I'm not that shy/scared girl that needs a friend to do things, but I definitely have moments where I wouldn't mind being with someone else when trying new things.
Nice memory to have. Interesting that yours is later than mine, and seems to have an emotional component to it (both fear and happiness), and great to note the change in personality. My memory is pretty ordinary, when I was very young, so it is hard to tell how much I have changed.
My memory came around the same time as yours, and I think I can relate to the change in personality you had whenever I look back on my childhood. As a child, we have this innocence that we are able to recognize nowadays but can never really understand when we are younger. I think this innocence really opens us up to experiencing all different kinds of emotions and events, and really helps to shape our personality as we grow.
mine was the same age too. I posted on mine that my personality was similar then to as it is now, but thinking back on it, I definitely had the shy-kid approach to things as well. It's interesting that a picture can actually trigger enough to be able to remember such an early memory.
My memory is similar in that the earliest memory involved a social activity. It is interesting how you became a more sociable person since then. For me, it's quite the opposite. I used to be very independent and confident, but now I became a little more shy than back then and I feel the need for someone I can depend on.
