Is it normal i used to be so carefee but it all changed? :(

In my high school years I mucked around and didn't take my time there, seriously.

I had a few good friends who I'd act crazy with and laugh all the time.
I am now 23 and last 5 years approximately, I have changed into an anxious person which I find very upsetting.

I realized today that I hardly laugh as much as I used to.
I am afraid of people and do get social anxiety as well as everyday anxiety.

In heinsight, I'm really disappointed in myself as well as my brain because everything has changed and I'm not that happy go lucky person I used to be.

I never used to worry about what others thought, I guess because around the age of 15,16,17 I never over thought things.

Is it possible to feel yourself again? I feel like my mind isn't my own anymore

    You are maturing, one should be constantly looking to improve himself mentally and physically. It's normal for most teenagers to be carefree, mostly because they have irresponsible parents who don't teach discipline and hardworking mentality from early on.

    Try to make the best of your time to nurture yourself with science, literature and arts. Get your college degree and build a career from the bottom so you can afford a decent lifestyle. Find your passion and don't let go of your dreams in pursuit of the goals in life you want to achieve.

    Plus, your brain will neurologicaly reach its full growth at twenty five years old and your personality will establish itself at thirty. There can be alot of experimentation until you reach full maturity as an individual, and you'll never stop learning, the moment you do is when you start dying.

    Not nice, but normal ..
    You're just growing up and that can be scary. I'm 24 and as soon as I had to move out into my own place and start taking some responsibility, I found life really hard. In today's society there is so much pressure to act and live life in a certain way, but when I realised I didn't give a fuck what society wanted me to do things got much easier ..
