“Why aren’t girls interested in guys like me?! 😭”
Because you’re weird and overbearing.
I was a “ironically” racist as a young teen, it took me till my early adulthood to realise that being ironically racist is just being racist, and the edgy “humour” that is made at others expense isn’t funny or clever, and is incompatible with the kind, empathetic person I wanted to be.
Cringing at my teen self pushes me further into deprogramming myself from that shit, but I’m encouraged by the adage “if you don’t look at yourself from a decade ago and cringe, you wasted that decade”.
does “every fucking word that came out of my mouth” count?
Edgy atheist.
I am still nonreligious and dislike organized religion tho, I just dont talk about it anymore.
I had the cliche phase of thinking that I was a vampire because a combination of a few things. I have a problem with my teeth where it caused my “K9s” to protrude outwards, I don’t have a normally detectable pulse and I’ve always been able to smell other peoples blood from abnormally far away but I can never smell my own. I know now that these are things that can happen to anyone but back then, I didn’t know any better.
How does your skin do in the sun?
TIL you can smell other people’s blood"??? Say what?!
Yeah, blood has a smell. I don’t know why but some people can’t smell it at all, while some people can smell it from pretty far way. I’ve never tested exactly how sensitive I am to the smell but, for example, if a woman is having her time of the month, I can usually smell it from several feet away.
Are you a dog
Two.
Really into aliens and flourescent things. Took tons of pictures with a black light and highlighter liquid poured into water so it would glow.
Thought I was a cowboy. Had tons of boots, cowboy hats and chewed tobacco. Even raised goats in highschool agriculture courses and subscribed to the typical country boy ideologies ( you can guess what I mean but can proudly say I grew out of that pretty fast in college). tbh raising goats was very fun.
Being undiagnosed autistic at the time, I suspect everything I did was. I also don’t know because I thought everything was fine.
I could go find some people I went to school with, but one, I hope they don’t remember me, and two I hope they all moved far away and are super successful.
I had hope for the future and planned a whole life once.
Anime, but it wasn’t popular yet, most people didn’t know what it was. Suncoast video was the only place you could go to buy anime VHS tapes.
Today I’d have been called a weaboo, but back then I was just weird and cringe.
Same. Remember when AnimeNation was the only mail order catalog to buy anime? Not that I had money but I had a catalog which I thought was so cool.
Until people at school stole it and proceeded to bully the fuck out of me.
I swear I managed to go through all the typical cringe phases in middle school: weeb, nice girl, smart ass, edgy atheists, you name it lol I’m shocked that I had friends at all during that time.
I thought I was far superior to people because I liked Pink Floyd and their music is actually meaningful and intellectual… yikes. I still like Pink Floyd though
Chūnibyō (中二病, lit. ‘middle-school second-year syndrome’) is a Japanese colloquial term typically used to describe adolescents with delusions of grandeur. These teenagers are thought to desperately want to stand out and convince themselves that they have hidden knowledge or secret powers.
Oh shit that was me🤣
When I was 11-12 I’d turn up to shops/stores in pajamas. I felt so rebellious
All of it.
Currently seeing a counselor in my mid 30s to deal with some long undiagnosed issues. Go to the doctor folks.
