...I was the same way. My first year of university was at Dundee and I spent the larger part of that time alone. When I came to Strathclyde to restart my course, I was terrified it was going to happen again so I took the plunge and joined a society I thought might be relevant to me in some way because I was doing English.
I nearly didn't go to that first meeting. I'm glad I did.

Hmm...
That's not quite what happened to me. More like I went to Blair Atholl and came back a different, slightly louder person. I've been getting louder and more... brash.
It's like an alien took over my body.. but left me inside it?
What the hell am I talking about...
Oh, wait! I have a good example!!
Have any of you watched Futurama? There's an episode called Parasites Lost in Season 3 which outlines my scenario perfectly... Hmm. That's not good...

First off, I'm glad, without Stewart in the group I wouldn't have had half the laughs that there have been. (The other half has been distributed between other funny pieces as appropriate.)
As for that episode of futurama, it's fantastic, although your situation is rather different too. We all experience character development through the things we experience and the people we interact with. Sometimes we develop character flaws and sometimes we develop admirable traits that are an example to others. The way two people can affect each other can lead to promising character development for both of them, and others around them, and makes for some good stories. Generally, though, it's called life, and its groovy! ;D

No! You return to my corner and laugh incessantly! Do it now!
I'm busy coming up with paragraphs that sum up our entire existence...

They'll be very long paragraphs, then?

They're usually quite short and sweet actually. Life's a bitch and then you die is a perfect exaple of this. The road goes ever on and on, until you hit a traffic jam or crash and die is another. I love metaphors

Sorry Mario, but the Princess is in another castle!
That's a good one, pointed out by Stewart.

Uh, yeah...Good going, Past Me!
Excuse me a moment.
[Aside in another room]
Present Me: "Dude, did you really say that?" Past Me: "Dude! As if you even had to ask!" Present Me: "Duuuude..." Past Me: "No, really! I did, dude!" Present Me: "Well, okay then. High-five for lies!" Past Me: "Ante up!" [high-fives]

I think half of you need your heads checking.
The weird thing is, the half I'm referring to consists of people of the male persausian...

Anyone who really does want their head checking can always come to me. I do very good hack jobs at very reasonable rates. The BPS might not like it, but they don't have to find out.
Remember people, doctor/patient confidentiality works both ways.
