Cringe worthy things you did in the past

When I was maybe eight or nine I was watching the news and there was a report of someone getting raped. So I asked my dad what it meant and he was like,"Uh, it's when someone touches someone else badly." And I went to school the next day and some kid kept touching me so I screamed, "STOP RAPING ME."

No good.

I also had a short but terrible weeaboo phase at 11. I also had a special snowflake phase around age 11. Basically, 11 was a bad year for me.

But my email addresses were got awful too. Never had an emo phase so that's good.

Oh my gosh xD

I regret and cringe at alot of my past in my short life, but its too embarrassing for me to even say here.
 
I didn`t punch some people who were, in some cases literally, asking for it.
I did a lot of horrible things, to myself but also to other people. It varies from life altering moments to being a smug little idiot to someones parents or making a cart of applejuice explode all over some poor kid and having to run 3 times around the neighbourhood afterwards from his very angry father.

I can`t look back on it and say "Ah well, I was just a kid," which worked well in the period after it happened.

Its hard to forgive yourself from crap you do to other people.
 
when i had my first boyfriend i didnt understand the whole "netflix and chill" thing ..... i was very confused bc i was like i just want to watch this movie wtf
 
In the first semester of college, I had my hair cut real short. It was an ugly haircut, but I just wanted to lop my hair off because the weather made it frizzy. That, and my terrible fashion sense at the time. Oh man. I wore a trenchcoat even though it was hot because I thought it was cool... it wasn't. I don't even remember what I did with that terrible garment.
 
that was exactly me in some years, i used to wear this super heavy wool coat every single day even when it was hot, and i also cut all my hair off and it looked horrible on me :cool:
 
I went through an "emo" phase in middle school.

Also, I used to think it was rly kewl 2 spell things rong!!

Good lord, I regret so much. My social media from middle school was so cringy.

Also, my childhood email. gamergirl298440@hotmail.com. Someone please go back in time and slap my childhood self.

When I was a teen I played some Gaia online, and that was a stupid experience. I was one of those kids who thought japanese-sounding names were super duper cool and generally made a fool of myself in a glorified chat room. Not that I hate Gaia, I just hate the way I used it.
 
Scene kid phase.
My little pet shop phase (GOSH... I MADE VIDEOS OF THESE THINGS.)
Total bi-otch phase.
Yaoi and Hentai phase.

- - - Post Merge - - -

Neopets phase.
Oh lord why.
 
I've gone through a few phases myself, but I'm not really ashamed of any of them, they're more nostalgic to me (Club penguin, LPS, Animal Jam, Chicken Smoothie, animal crossing)

Although I definitely did some things that even back then made me go 'why did i do that'. When I was about ten or nine, my friend showed me a bunny drawing that she was so proud of and... Well it obviously wasn't drawn that well, but I didn't know what to say, so I gave her an assholish response and then beat myself up for the rest of the day.

I'm sure there's worse stuff that I've done, but I've repressed a lot of it so I don't really remember.

Well at least you were honest. It's better than just sugar-coating it like most people.

That's true, but I just kinda told her it's bad, without pointing out what to improve or giving her any positive support. Even a sugar-coated compliment would be more motivating than that.
 
My life

But seriously I went through the LOL SO RANDOM PHASE
xD /shudders/

I also used to be like OMG GIRLY GIRLS ARE SO DUMB TOMBOY 4LYFE, what's funny is that I basically somewhat became what I used to hate

And other things I have done in the past aren't cringe worthy but I still regret doing them.

Ahhh my old days on Flipnote Hatena...3 years of my life that I'd really like to forget xD (was going through random phase and angsty phase at the same time)
 
-My permanent email right now is "Rileymonster558" and I can't change it. I've tried everything, believe me
-I used to think wearing my hair to RIGHT above my eyes was cool and good-looking. Oh god... I'm so glad I keep it short now, everyone comments that it's looked better this way the whole time
-Oh, and I never even swept it to the side. It was just flat. Flat, long, blunt hair. Not bowl-cut style mind you, I had and still have sideburns, but still cringe worthy
-From the time I was born till I was about 12 I, for some reason, thought it was okay to only wear underwear in my house. Like I had to put shorts and a t-shirt on whenever company was about to arrive, but I wish I hadn't been so lazy as to not cloth myself. My family didn't really care after awhile, but god is it cringe worthy...
-When I was a kid I used to roll around on the floor a lot
- My whole MMORPG phase that lasted around 10 years and ended a couple years ago. I admit, it's not THAT cringe worthy, but if you knew my past about it then you'd agree it is
-Up until I was 12 I hated showering. 13 and on I shower everyday thank god
-I uploaded some videos in the past on Youtube when I was a kid that are cringe worthy
-I used to think it was okay to wear socks with sandals when I was young. Thankfully that changed when I was about 10. DON'T DO IT. IT'S NOT STYLISH
-Some of the old posts on forums I've roleplayed on are DEFINITELY cringe worthy. Especially the ones I was in when I was around 12-14.
-For that matter my behavior on forums when I was younger was definitely cringe worthy
-I went through a phase when I was younger where I never smiled. Never. If I laughed, my face would just move a bit and then return to normal. I laugh and smile so much more now, which I'm thankful for


I can't think of any others right now, but those are all definitely things I'd like to forget.

/May the laughter directed at me commence

I win the thread

Oh god...

- I used to put an emoticon at the end of every sentences because I thought I'll look more friendly to others that way. :3
I used ':3', 'x3' and 'xD' so much it hurts to look at my posts.

- I've never physically went through an emo phase, but I used to have a fursona who pretty much have the stereotypical fringe with neon highlights, piercings, bangles/wristbands, and looked absolutely miserable. Thankfully that only lasted a week or so and was forgotten. I also outgrew having a character that "represents me" thank god. I mean eyes changing colour depending on my mood and floating wings?? wow

- 'Proud' tomboy phase.

- 10~13 year-old me playing MMO games. I regret a lot of things I've said and the names I've picked.

- Bad fanfic phase.

- Songs I used to listen to were either awful or I outgrew it.
