Replying to Avatar HODL

I don’t relate to the past version of myself at all, and that makes it hard to connect with people from my past.

My self-image changed so much over time that when people still see me as who I used to be, it feels off.

For them it feels normal and expected, but for me it’s like nails on a chalkboard.

I 100% relate to this with friends I haven't spoken to for years and come across more recently.

But one thing I wonder is how come it still works with the people who I spent large amounts of time with through that transformation, like my parents and my siblings.

I wonder if:

1) The transformation was very gradual which eased them into it slowly

2) The transformation was not as large as I perceive it to be

3) Unconditional love overcomes all of this
