except not no, just yes. it is the same person; what you're referring to is figurative speech like when people say "I'm not the same person anymore" or whatever.

here's a conversation that wouldn't happen:

"you're still with Jen?"
"no"
"oh, when did you break up"
"we didn't. but she's older now"

    Have you ever had the experience of meeting an old friend after not seeing them for many years? If yes, did they seem the same to you or different?

    I have had this experience several times and several times they were a different person than I remembered. We got along easily when we were young but now we have almost nothing in common. I’m sure my own changes as a person had as much to do with it as theirs.

    Married couples sometimes get divorced after many years for this reason. β€œI was so in love with him when we were young but now he’s changed.”
