I don't think saying that you don't like who you were/are is saying you don't like anything about yourself(although as I type this I could see how we could read that into it). I think to really be able to say that you don't like who you were means that you are now able to see things in yourself that you like better, and how in the past you couldn't.
I agree with all who have said how the things we have gone though, our upbringing, ect have made us who we are. I don't want to change the core part of my personality. But those experiences also changed some of the good things about me too. It was this slow change where I slowly gave in to others on small things, things I didn't think mattered and then poof one day you awaken so to say and see that you've lost as a whole a lot. I think it's like if someone robbed you of 10 cents everyday. Chances are you wouldn't miss 10 cents. But of someone did this over the course of 5, 10, 15 years, everyday stealing 10 cents, well you would be out a large sum of money
.
So yes, I'm not changing my personality, but I'm also saying I can't keep letting people pickpocket dimes off of me. And THAT change is such a drastic one for me that it seems as if I HAVE changed who I am.
