i have experienced the phenomenon of personality regression due to interaction with friends from the past...it is scary.
me and some high school friends got together a couple of weeks ago...3 people in their mid-thirties...we looked at each other at the end of the night and shook our heads at the fact that things just don't change all that much.
but they do change, it's just that certain circumstances just draw out these old habits of thinking and expressing oneself--your brain just snaps back to the shape it was when you were in the same situation...it is telling, but it's not the whole story... ? maybe ?
