I remember reading a longitudinal study that was conducted to see if people could accurately recall the beliefs of their younger self. Essentially, every few years, they'd ask the same group of people to rate their stance on certain issues, and then guess how their younger self would've rated. Interestingly, what people rated of their younger self was actually much closer to their current self than the actual ratings conducted by their younger self. Myself, I think I probably had a lot more trepidation about say, Gay Marriage back in the 90s than I do today. But I only believe that because I'm aware my current self might be creating bias to my perspective of what actually happened.
