I know this one girl that i met back when i was a hardcore AFC about 6-7 months ago. I actually did like her at first, probably because no one had ever showed me that much attention as she did. My AFC ways eventually made her lose interest, but we continued to talk occasionally as friends. Then about 3 weeks ago (when i started studying about the PU arts) we where texting each other she said that i was acting different. Then I saw her at a party a week later and she told me that I was a completely different guy, that i wasn't the same guy that i was when she first met me. That i did a complete 180 turn and seemed more outgoing and sociable. Damn, it felt so sweet hearing that... then get this. She told me that all my changes are fine and she respects that but when im with her she wants me to act like the old me (like an AFC). So i told her "Well thats just not gonna happen."
I know exactly what you mean. I've had two ex's comment me in the past few months on the "new" me. I told them it's not new just the part they didn't look at.
I used to be a big AFC and when My ex fiance tried calling me while I was out I ignored her call when I would usually jump at answering it. I continued ignoring her for a few days before I answered. It's not so much that we've changed, but that we've allowed ourselves to be more open. We are the "best versions of ourselves" in Styles words.
When people you used to know see you being different/more social and outgoing they're going to question you naturally. It's human instinct. Just brush it off and tell them that they must not have known you well enough to say that.
