Post stupid things you did or said when you were younger
For example,
When I was younger I said my brother had half a brain. He has autism.
-
In my teenage years I was part of a group of people who wrote a note to two people who sat with us saying that maybe they should not sit with us any more.
The cried. A lot. So I wrote another note to the two of them apologising, and then sat with them at school for about two years. I try to talk to them now as little as possible.
Woo?
-
My saddest memory is "the last two weeks of freshman year."
I broke her heart without realizing it. Then mine was broken because of that.
:cry:
-
I love you.
-
I'm sorry I love you.
-
I don't remember the things I said.
I just remember the hot prickly feeling on my cheeks
The tightness in my chest
The buckling of the knees the lump in the throat the spinning of my head
And I remember the lists I made
And soon they will, too.
-
I want to punch myself yesterday, this morning even, because really I am just an idiot with all things ever.
-
Everything before the age of 16. Good Lord, was I a fuck-up.
-
Being 13 and making a "YOUR MOM" joke to a kid whose mom died of cancer.
Whups.
-
I spare myself the embarrassment of reliving the stupid things I said when I was younger by not having any clear memories of anything further back then maybe 4 years ago.
-
Can I go back in time and give myself a big hug instead? Actually that'd be pretty weird. Possibly less weird than being punched by future me, though.
-
I spare myself the embarrassment of reliving the stupid things I said when I was younger by not having any clear memories of anything further back then maybe 4 years ago.
yet somehow you still remember everything that happened back in college?
i have no regrets. the only thing i could think of was to maybe tell myself not to date the stupid boys i dated as a teenager. but all teenage boys are dumb so i would not have had any relationships at all in that case. besides all that i am pretty much a perfect human being (:
oh, except that i wasted the fact that i could speak arabic fluently. that was pretty fucking stupid. i would definitely give myself a kick in the rear end for that one.
-
Making a big deal about breaking up with my first girlfriend. It kept me from meeting new people and most importantly what kept me as a shy kid for the longest time. I can say that I really don't care anymore, but a good punch knee cap would suffice.
-
I would go back and not date 2 specific girls in high school, and i would actually fight back when 4 teenagers jumped me.
-
Also I would go back to 3 AM saturday morning and get this girl's number, uuuuuughh
-
Man, If I could time travel I would just be constantly boning myself and double-teaming other people.
Ain't got no reasons to be violent at myself.
-
The same old story. That fucking 1973 Fender Competition Mustang I stupidly didn't buy.
-
For being a recluse for an entire year and a half before moving up schools.
-
Violence wouldn't have done anything for old me. But I would go back and hug myself and remind me all the time that there were people who loved me and I was going to get better, and life wouldn't always hurt so much. I would reassure younger me that everything would get better and that she would get better and not be so sick.
-
I would tell myself not to be such a dick to that girl who chose someone else when I was a senior in high school. I think a slap upside the head would suffice.
-
I would punch myself for not trying to hook up with Hot Chicks earlier in life.
What the FUCK was I thinking, holy shit
-
Probably for turning down girls because I worried what other people would say. :|
Man that's a silly thing to do.
-
I have learned from my stupid mistakes, but I would have learned by them better if I had a smack upside the head every time I made one, too. But that could cause brain damage, so maybe not.
-
I would probably go back in time and alert my past self that I should ask out the girl that I liked in highschool rather than the girl I knew would go out with me.
On the otherhand my previous experiences have shaped who I am today and so it is important that for me to be where I am now, which is more or less where I don't mind being, then I shouldn't interfere with everything leading up to that point. You should also consider that in certain theories of time travel when you go back in time you can't interact with yourself. Usually because of the time-travel paradoxes that would ensue, but occaisionally because of the theory that the same matter can't occupy the same space at the same time, meaning that if you did infact go back in time and make physical contact with yourself then both past and present (future) you would be destroyed.
It's important, too, to remember that if any of us would have access to time travel when we get older chances are we would have used it and would not be having this conversation simply because we would have already gone back and changed the past and that would have altered the future (our present).
Fuck me but I love time travel.
-
Fuck me but I love time travel.
Well with time travel, as ozy pointed out, that would be possible for you to do.
-
I don't really believe in personal growth so there wouldn't be much point to the exercise, but I'd probably just go back in time and have sex with myself anyway, because I'm a narcissist.
-
I dunno. If I went back in time and hit a younger me for any reason, younger me would probably resent older me for a long time and I'd (younger me) end up sabotaging my past life so that older me is all fucked up. But anyway, any period from about June to December last year. Or schoolies. That's about the only things I'd really do differently.
Wah-hey whaddayaknow they're both about women.
-
If I could go back in time and fix myself I'd probably knock the Pringles can out of his hand and tell him to go play outside.
-
If I could go back in the past I would give my dad a few choice investment tips maybe about these companies called Microsoft, Apple and Google.
-
If I could do high school over it would be so awesome, because I
would be am so awesome. And not emotionally traumatized for the first year, and meek for the second. I mean, you could make the argument it made me what I am today - but it would be even better because I could be who I am today then. I suppose a lot of people ponder this stuff, though. And then I couldn't smoke, (not that I do now, except hookah and that stuff wasn't even around when I was in HS) drink, or drive (probably not at the same time) And I feel kind of obligated to stop things like 9/11 and Disney stars with pop albums.
I can't really think of a lot of specific instances I would change what I say. I'd probably just say more. I don't regret a lot of what I did say. Oh, but I would get a different prom date. Mine was kind of dumb and I didn't have a very good night, especially when I consider how much money I spent on it.
-
I guess really I would just say to myself that I should be more assertive and that really there is no reason to give a fuck about what people think of me. There wouldn't be a punch but it would e a pretty stern talking to, by golly.
Also I would tell me to start wearing suits more often.
-
I don't really believe in personal growth so there wouldn't be much point to the exercise, but I'd probably just go back in time and have sex with myself anyway, because I'm a narcissist.
Temporal masturbation high five!
o/
-
I'd go back in time and give myself a pink hover board and a pair of rad high tops.
-
i would go back to middle school and tell myself to stop being so socially inept!
-
No regrets.
Would bone myself as well.
-
Oh man, I screwed up bad.
The first thing off the top of my head is, I shouldn't have spat my chewing gum in that girl's face.
Secondly, I shouldn't have been a coward when this cute girl found out I liked her.
I wouldn't have tried spending so much time with the "cool kids" in grade school. Hell, that was a waste, I didn't even have much of a sense of self at that point.
... Damn, I screwed up bad...
I remember one time, I was at camp, and a girl liked me, and wanted to go to the banquet with me, she told a friend of mine, who asked me if I liked her. I said "no" because I knew that my best friend wanted to go with her. This happened at breakfast, and when I went outside, the next thing I know, this girl who I thought was extremely cute went bat-@#$% insane and cussed me the hell out in front of everyone.
If I went back in time, I probably wouldn't have changed a thing.
-
Tell myself that Melissa is not worth it, don't spend a year and a half trying to kill yourself when she's gone.
Also: Fight with myself who gets to be on top.
-
You can just do it twice.
-
Or several times.
-
The only thing I regret (and I mean that) is not dating that one girl back in '06, when she still wanted me, and then suffering for the next 2 years because of it.
-
Also: Fight with myself who gets to be on top.
The answer to this is so fucking complex that I don't even want to start explaining it.
-
Man it's simple: I'm on top unless you're cute (or me).
-
Also: Fight with myself who gets to be on top.
Now I'm picturing you having a loud conversation with yourself about which position you should masturbate in.
:?
-
Aren't you supposed to?
-
Being rude to and turning down all the girls who ever were interested in me when I was young because of my secret crush(that I obsessed over for 3+ years), and then finding out in the middle of high school (Sophomore year to be precise) that she has no feelings for me what-so-ever, never did.
I wish I could go back and smack myself at the start of it. The collapse of that massive obsession destroyed me, made me cripplingly shy and emotionally hollow and even a little suicidal at times.
Truthfully, I've never been the same. And I still can't stand to be in the same buliding as her(which I found out the hard way).
-
Ok yeah, I just realised that maybe the best thing I could do for my younger self (other than the aforementioned financial advice) would be to show up one day with an extremely detailed list of awesome bands to check out at certain times and also a list of concerts/dj sets that I should attend or so help me god I will come back in time again and give myself the hiding of a lifetime.
-
In that vein, I'd make sure as hell my younger self went to see Robert Forster & Grant McLennan perform together on one of the numerous occasions I/he had the chance. I'd tell myself: "No, there won't be plenty of other opportunities because Grant McLennan is going to die shockingly young. So go see them, you lazy fool!"
-
Being 13 and making a "YOUR MOM" joke to a kid whose mom died of cancer.
Whups.
I can 1-up you here.
Once, when my own mother was struck down by leukemia, I asked a child of nine if his mother loved him. His mother had died of cancer.
-
Actually, I don't think I would.
I like the fact that I wouldn't really want to change anything.
-
I would have ordered a smaller size I-can-has-torrents shirt and Pintsize hoodie. Now that I'm losing weight, dear god they're saggy.
But yeah - just about almost everything, from
- letting people talk down to me and convince me there were numerous things wrong with me, and getting too dependent on their approval
- to eating junk food and being 30 lbs overweight
- reading QC, getting addicted (fuck you Jeph for creating an addictive comic), wishing reality could be wittingly joked through and then crash landing back into reality
- to cutting out certain people who I got fed up with because I got paranoid and thought they were manipulating me
- to all the socially inept things I did both offline and online (oh, other online forums before here, those were SHITTY ASS things I did)
Actually, tons of stuff.
-
Give myself a crash-course on good bands way back when I was 11 and liked Good Charlotte and shit like that. Also, I would warn myself about a certain cheating girlfriend and a backstabber who is supposedly going to be one of your best friends.
-
I'm gay and on msn, telling you I like you.
I would punch myself in the balls.
-
holy shit, this thread is 2 months old.
How do people find old threads? Do you go back pages and pages of threads and think "You know what? I need to post a two sentence reply to this! It validates my existence!"?
-
I wish it was that easy to validate my existence. My existence is still invalid.
-
Gee I've never had one of my threads necro'd. I feel special.
-
I love you.
-
-punches past self in the head-
Who decides to not invest in gold in 1999 with $2000 he happens to come into?
<-this jerk.
-
No regrets.
Would bone myself as well.
<3
i probably wouldn't punch myself, but i would tell myself to be less awkward around boys. and there are certain romantic/sexy moments i wouldn't mind reliving.
-
Throwing a bomb at that kid's house. Not for throwing it, cuz he was a snitch and an asshole and deserved it, but for getting caught. That arrest still haunts me today.
Also for dropping out of High School. That was a dumb mistake that also still haunts me.
-
Give myself a crash-course on good bands way back when I was 11 and liked Good Charlotte and shit like that.
This.
Also, tell myself to start learning guitar earlier.
There are probably relationship-related things too, but I can't remember them all.
-
I click things, I'm quite good at clicking things. I was raised on a Russian ad farm with other boys where clicking was the only way to get fed. My existence is questionable, there's a lot of invalid in my existence. I would actually learn the guitar as well, that would rock. Let's do that.
-
I'd do it all different. I'd be living instead of merely existing.
-
I don't consider this necro-ing, more feeling up a coma patient....
I'd tell myself not to be scared to talk to the hot boy at the gig.
7 of perving later he is my boyfriend & I'm so happy.
-
7 of perving
:?
-
Maybe she meant to put months or weeks in there?
-
No, it's obviously a measure of pervosity. I would imagine 10 of perving would probably involve drooling and telescopes.
-
Nah, I'm thinking 10 would be the aforementioned feeling up of coma patients. I'm of the opinion that the 7 refers to years as well :-P
-
ArGH! My crappy typing....
It was 7 years. I first saw his old band play in 2002. We had our first date 3 and a half months ago.
He saw me on a pin-up site 3 years ago.
We are both rubbish, as rubbish as my ability to use the preview button.
But we both have a pervosity of 9 (10 involving the afore mentioned telescopes and drolling, 11 is when the hand lotion comes out, by the way). I perved on him. He perved on me.
I have never felt up a coma patient.
-

You've lead a charmed life, haven't you?
-
If you go back in time and bone a young version of yourself, would it be considered statutory rape? Or just masturbation?
(Truly if there a pinnacle of philosophical thought, I am it.)
-
I would tell myself:
"Don't go rollerblading down that hill. You'll break multiple bones."
"Don't believe a guy when he says a girl is an ex-girlfriend. She's not."
"Don't drink tequila."
"One day you will regret almost everything you ever did as a teenager."
"Tell Christina you love her. She'll be gone before she turns 14, and you'll miss her every day -- even five years later."
Okay, that got depressing pretty quickly.
-
"Don't drink tequila."
I would tell myself to not steer clear of tequila because of all the bad stories. Tequila has never resulted in a night that was not entertaining for me.
I would also tell myself to play bass correctly the first time, because then I might not have a bad back, wrists and shoulders. Luckily my elbows are still working just fine!
I would tell myself to go back in time later on and tell myself these things, because I wouldn't want to create a causal paradox by being careless.
-
I would tell myself to not be very shy around people in general and also that talking to a girl you like isn't that difficult at all.
I will also give myself a huge list of bands to listen to.
-
Things to Tell My Younger Self
1) Get out more
2) Learn guitar
3) Get a job lazy ass
4) Don't say that stupid thing to the girl you like that you'll regret for years
5) Yeah time travel is possible
-

Wait what am I doing it right or not
-

Really? Because for me it always turns out like that song "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off." :oops:
-

Is your cock involved? If not, you're totally doing it wrong.

Well, at least some people have a good time :wink:
I just get normal drunk off of tequila. Of course, my standard poison is gin and that results in an awesome drunken state.
-
My drink of choice would be whiskey. It makes my friends cringe, and it also wows guys/makes them buy me drinks. I have had gin before, and it tastes like the saddest Christmas ever to me.
-

I like you. Gin tastes of awesome.
-

If it weren't for gin I would've stopped drinking alcohol years ago.
-
Yay gin fans!

I can definitely understand that.
I have had gin before, and it tastes like the saddest Christmas ever to me.
I drink it because it reminds me of childhood... Just kidding. You might not have had the correct gin, because some of it is gross, but others result in true statements such as:
Gin tastes of awesome.
Maybe someone should make a thread about booze preference. I'm currently going to talk about things that I would have done in the past:
I would have told myself to pay more attention during my 400-level physics courses and maybe worked through some derivations myself. Getting an 'A' was nice, but I wish I could have actually remembered some of it come graduate school.
I also would have told myself to ask that girl out in my German class in high school. Maybe it would have been useful to have gained some experience about relationships before college? Not that I did that well as far as relationships go while I was in college...
-
Wait what am I doing it right or not
Is your cock involved? If not, you're totally doing it wrong.
Wanna see the chafe marks?
Also, now that I think about it, if I could go back in the past, I would punch all of you, too.
