Is it normal that i have not changed for a very long time as a person?

As I see it myself, most people constantly change. As time goes on, the changes become more and more dramatic. I guess that after certain age one settles down and stops changing (maybe around 35?), but it just seems to me that before that each person is in constant evolution.

However, I cannot really identify if I ever changed at all. I am 26 now, but I feel exactly like the person I was more than 10 years ago. Of course, maybe I have gained a few technical and social skills by now, but my personality, my values and my goals are exactly the same.

My problem is that as people keep changing, they usually come and go from my life as the changes go on. For me, having "friends" is enjoying their company until they decide to change and leave me behind.

I have also been thinking which things I would change about me, but I haven't really come up with anything feasible that I believe would improve my life or make me a better person.

And well, I was just wondering if you believe this is normal. So, what do you think about it?

    I don't think people's character fundamentally changes with the passage of time

    My soul has not changed much. I am pretty much the same person I was when I was young,just more wrinkly and a bit more fearful of people.

    I've changed, I care less about everything that's worldly and care more about everything spiritually. And my tastes in women have changed from liking all women to women of only certain races and cultures.

    I never change, I just grow from discussing and debating and since I learn from every debate some opinions I have change a bit over time if the other person/s are making more sense than what I am.

    I have the same values and morals and overall I'm the same person but since I easily bond with people I hang out with frequently it's not uncommon for me to suddenly realise how much I care about whales (Example) if the other person does.

    People don't change, they just find new things to represent. But under the surface they're always the same good or evil person with the exact same mindset.

    I don't change much either. I still have the same personality I did as a little kid. I have never understood how or why people change.
