How can you change your personality back?

Im almost 14, and back in primary school I used to be the most outgoing, crazy person. I didn't care what people thought.

I would talk heaps and wasn't shy at all.



But when I started high school I wasnt myself at all.

Now Im a shy person, whos afraid of jumping in to a group conversation. I hate it. Im so boring now, I want to be my old self again. how can I change?!!How can you change your personality back?
As a mental health professional with 20+ years experience, now retired, I can tell you that to change your personality is the most long, drawn out aspect of a person that can be changed. It involves a complete change in your habits, your perspectives, and oftentimes your environment.



I'm not so sure you can ';be your old self again';. As life goes on and you move through life and have new experiences and new environments, your perception changes, your wisdom develops, and new issues come before you to deal with. There's an old adage that says, ';You can never go home again';, or somesuch, and it's very true. You may later develop some new social skills that make you more outgoing, but, right now, in your new environment at school, you appear to be adjusting to a ';whole new world';, and, wisely, you're taking time, like it or not, to assess the situation and make choices about who your friends will be and how you will make it in your studies, etc.. Don't be upset with it. It's an adjustment period, and even though it may be a long time coming, you'll get more established interpersonally in your new environment, and you will have the opportunity to become more outgoing again, IF you want to. You may decide later that you don't want to be ';the same ol' you'; like you were in Jr. High. Just ';stay the course'; of adjustment. If all goes well, you'll come out of it ';smellin' like a rose';. God Bless you.How can you change your personality back?
This happens to alot of girls around this time. You just need to break this new habit. You can only do it day by day. Give yourself mini challenges like starting a conversation with someone new or asking an acquaintance out to do something. It won't happen overnight and expect relapses.
