Sure, you're looking at things from a different perspective, you have changed. Probably for the better, if you're no fool. (I apologize in advance to whatever fools may be reading this). It's like what happens when you mature faster than your friends; they can't understand why you no longer want to play with dolls and have become interested in tacky adult stuff like music, art, the stock market, and wildly gratifying monkey sex, etc.

It's not a thing to regret, but it's best, I think, to stay in control of yourself and not burn too many bridges. You're still the same old you, just into something different.
