I was just, as a child, very different from the others, and didn't really care what they thought because you know, a child doesn't really have inhibitions; you sort of gain your inhibitions later.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was always different from all the other kids, and I was doing things that nobody else did or seemed to have any interest in.
I was a confident, outgoing little boy. If you're an only child, you're living in a very linguistically adult world, and you've got to keep up. So I did. Maybe I was slightly annoying.
I remember very vividly what it's like to be a child. The adults you liked were the ones who listened to you when you spoke and gave you time to say what you wanted to say and actually listened, and quite often reacted as a result of what you'd said.
I basically was a precocious little kid.
I don't remember being a child, and that's why I think I'm so child-like now in my unending curiosity and approach to life.
I was always a relatively quiet and introspective kid.
I was quite a shy child - not chronically, but I tended to blend into the background.
My parents say that even as a very, very little kid, the way that I acted was dramatically different from other little kids.
To be honest, I was kind of a shy kid growing up.
I felt highly anxious in a way that I didn't think other children were.
