I think as we learn more about ourselves - some innocence is lost. As we evaluate the past and learn to live & take care of ourselves in the present.. life changes. It does not have to be a bad thing. The good parts of your character that makes you - you... may even get better if we take the time to notice it......
I have to add this - I did lose some friendships as I got better. There was a certain dynamic to some of my friendships and family. Some do not like you to change - it makes them uneasy and they are not certain what role to play in your life any longer. There will be those that are there and accepting no matter what - normal or not
