Not sure what kind of answer you're looking for. As a data point (guy in later 20's not rich/low status) I changed later in college. I used to be this blissfully unaware JA and then became introverted. I miss the younger me in a way because I had this delusional positive optimism and nowadays everything is just sad/bad I'm like a jaded old man. Now that I can build almost anything web-related I don't have the crazy ideas like I used to (which in retrospect where stupid).

Mostly just cringe moments in my life/I thankfully became more self aware. Like all the things I used to post publicly on social media back in the early 2010's.

edit: there is one thing, back then I was barely on the internet. Nowadays I'm like 90% of my life on it, if I'm not sleeping/eating/something else. Not blaming the internet but eventually I will disconnect. Not 100% I just mean do more than write code/sit in front of a computer all day.

I will also note I am the type to conform (people have to like me, prefers upvotes) something I'm trying to get over/be more unique (although not be an AH).

The other thing is letting go of fear, in the future I have to travel this third world country and when that time comes I have to be unafraid/let go. I don't know what will happen then. I'll get liquid/purge my belongings before leaving the country or store some things anyway long term.
