Did anyone else start out liberal/conservative and then change over later in life?

2009 thread: Have you always been a Conservative/Moderate/Liberal?

In that thread I said,

@Crafter_Man

In college I was *extremely *liberal. Borderline socialist/communist.

After college I did a 180 and became a right-wing conservative.

Long story short, but it dawned on me that both are wrong. Socialists and right-wingers desire power and control over people, and I don’t want power and control over people. I am now a libertarian.

I haven’t changed much since 2009, though today I would consider myself more of a “libertarian conservative” than a libertarian.
