Everyone changes, its a part of life. Are you able to recognise how you've changed from one period to another and identify these changes?

Yeah to a degree.
I haven't really been paying attention to my personality, but it seems that I had a pretty good idea of what/who I was when I was around 4 or 5 years old and I was very comfortable with myself. When I started school others began to make me feel insecure about myself, I was bullied, called names, etc.. and I wasn't really put through a good school system.
I developed depression, and anxiety issues. I also started struggling with some subjects in school, but my struggle was ignored by teachers. I became a bit of a doormat and I let people use me. Depression got worse, I had many suicide attempts, and had to be hospitalized a few times.
I found religion when I was in 8th grade, only to let a bunch of people basically brainwash me into a way of thinking and they forced political views upon me... it was basically a cult. My depression got worse and I was given lots of drugs for it, they didn't react right and I started hallucinating, but because of previous suicide attempts, my psychologist did not believe me and I was forced to stay on the meds because I was underage, and my parents refused to take me off of them. 9th grade I found a new friend, which was the first new friend I had since kindergarten. After that I got a boyfriend. My boyfriend cheated on me and left me, and years after I met my new friend and got off the medication I realized she was using me and that I was involved in a toxic relationship with her, I have also come to realize my ex was using me all along too.
Now I'm almost 20 and I've just "woken up" and I've realized that I've let too many people get to me and I've wasted my life trying to be someone I'm not, all my life I've just tried to be a normal person, but I'm not.. I'm unique and thats what makes me beautiful, and I shouldn't let other people say horrible things about me and treat me poorly because they have no right to. I'm finally gaining new friends on my own and I'm standing up for myself and my rights. I'm now getting back to the healthy state of mind I had when I was a little kid. I'm learning to love myself more and more every day.

I recognise the change since I was young untill now, but the weird thing is I feel like I am a complete diffrent person. Like I went through the experience but feel like that was a diffrent version of me. weird huh???

Most definitely. When I was 18 I thought I knew everything! When I was 25 I realised that when I was 18 I didn't know everything but thought I knew everything at 25! Now that I'm 36 I've finally accepted that life is a constant learning process!!

I can recognise any sudden or dramatic changes but no the small subtle ones that also matter

I only see the changes in myself when my family points them out to me. Unfortunately they usually point out the bad changes.
