What phases have you gone through?

Pretty self-explanatory, I should think. What phases have you gone through? Why? How long did they last? Were they the good old days, or the rancid horrible old days?

But humans are like the moon... they're all phases-y, and this is really deep shit.

I've gone through so many it's not even funny. D: The few that I remember are Nascar (before the internet), Beyblade and Digimon. They were phases that I found myself obsessed with as a teen/child at the time, seeing how I'm not anymore.

I went through a phase of not being emo. Glad that's over.

I had a Star Wars phase when I was a teenager...I've read more Expanded Universe novels than I care to admit.

I'm not sure if I ever really had an emo phase persay, as my mood has generally soured - and my mental health declined - as I've gotten older. That said, I DID have a pseudo-goth phase where I just tried to get as much gothic clothing as possible because black was the only colour that really went with my hair. xD

Too many to count when it comes to fandom phases.

I did go through this weird phase in high school where I just wore black like I wouldn't even call it a goth or emo phase is was just... a weird phase. But it's the only phase I can really remember having other than fandom phases.

I had this long hair phase from the time I was in 7th grade until just after finishing my first semester of college. During two of those times (8th grade and 11th grade) I actually had real long hair, but the other times it was more like mop hair/skateboarder hair.

My hair is much more shorter now and has been for almost five years at this point.

too many to count.

the ones i remember are avril lavigne, any sort of emo band (especially pierce the veil and black veil brides, also other ones that shall not be named), dan and phil (i still watch them and am lowkey obsessed with them still but not as much), pewdiepie, uhhh.. sonic for sure for many years. monster high for a short time. oh also victorious. i was obsessed with that for a while.

my current one is jacksepticeye but i wouldnt necessarily call it a phase, imo.

Somehow I was a relatively well adjusted kid and teenager, apparently mature for my age according to most people, yet I went through an attention-seeking cringe phase as a young adult. I chalk most of it up to isolation and the effects that can have on your psyche over the years but some of my behavior is still embarrassing to think back on. Not that I'm perfect now either.

oh boy, uhhhh

-tomboy phase when i was little that persisted for a looong time
-horse/country phase.......
-"the weird dragon kid" phase
-wolfaboo phase
-online sim site games phase (neopets, webkinz and such)
-scene kid phase
-emo kid phase
-hipster phase
-superwholock and homestuck phase.... ugggggh
-"i'm not trans so i'm gonna be EXTREMELY transphobic!!!" phase because i was Shook at the prospect that i Might have been trans so as a result i dressed and acted INCREDIBLY feminine.
-queue me accepting i'm transmasculine
-"metal is the only good music ever and POP SUCKS!!!11!!!" phase
-EDGY AS FUCK PHASE ("i hate everyone :)", "i'm an asshole and i'm proud that i am", trolling 12 year olds online, going to gore websites and watching videos of people being murdered and tortured and thinking it was funny, pro-gatekeeping and cringe culture, "i was bullied as a kid so it's Okay for me to be a bully")
-stoner phase where i actually started to Chill the Fuck out

and after this everything is pretty much current.
-Huge Ass Furry
-punk as hell
-anti-cringe culture, anti-gatekeeping, please just leave people the fuck alone
-junkie/addict phase. not so much a stoner anymore... more like.... let's take ambien and mix it with alcohol and Ascend into the fourth plane.

Hmm I don't know if I've gone through many. Definitely had like a slightly edgy phase where I didn't dress edgy but I watched a large of dark anime and such. Tokyo Ghoul and the like.
