does “every fucking word that came out of my mouth” count?

I don’t think so, if it does then mine never ended

“Why aren’t girls interested in guys like me?! 😭”

Because you’re weird and overbearing.

Edgy atheist.

I am still nonreligious and dislike organized religion tho, I just dont talk about it anymore.

It ended for you?

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”.

For a few years in middle school, I was waaaaay too into Monty Python.

No such thing as “too into Monty Python”

OP: weeeeell, I got better

No you weren’t. That will be £5

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.

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

How does your skin do in the sun?

Thinking I had the answer to everything and that I was the only one who was “thinking logically”. Emotions were weak and irrelevant, the only things that mattered were facts (i.e. anything that I believed). I swear to god, if those cunts like Jordan Peterson had gotten a hold of me I would’ve turned even more insufferable. As it stood, I basically just became a mostly far-left cringe lord with exactly zero understanding about how the world actually works. Luckily I’ve learned since then.

Really, REALLY bad poetry. About My Pain

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.

Ages 2-25

For me it was more like:

Ages 11-16: unaware sad cringe

Ages 17-24: learning to hide it

Ages 25-27: reaching achievement mountain, followed by

Age 28: quarter life crisis valley and the realization

Ages 29-now: unlearning to hide it and actually feeling good

Life is a beautiful journey. Just need to look with the right eyes.

I liked stealing things from my friends and running away, only to give them back when caught. I was such a shit

Weirdly I don’t think I’ve ever had a “phase” like other people seem to have gone through. Is this common enough to not have had something like that?

I guess it was possibly as a teen when I was being LOLRANDOM on internet forums. Not sure if that counts tho because I have always been an internet dweller.

I had hope for the future and planned a whole life once.
