Ten years later, people in New York share how their lives have changed because of 9/11.

Sept. 11 changed our country's foreign policy, our security measures, and our national psyche. But it also affected us in more personal ways. We asked people in New York City a simple question: "How has your life changed because of 9/11?" Some spoke of a sustained fear of planes, trains, and crowded places, and the frustration of racial profiling, but others felt a stronger, more positive awareness of their surroundings and a loving bond with what they see as a great city. Here are 10 stories from around New York.

Share your thoughts about how your life is different because of 9/11 on Twitter, Facebook, or in the comments. Use the hashtag #becauseof911 tell us what's changed for you. Are you afraid of flying? Did you move away from an urban center? Did you re-evaluate your life priorities? Tell us your personal story, and we'll feature a selection of submissions on our Brow Beat blog.

The interviews have been edited and condensed.
