    Do you ever just look back at your past posts from whatever forum you were on years ago and realize how mf cringy you were?

    I did that. It was awful. >>; But I gotta admit... I have actually come a long way since I've been here since age 16. o.o You can't argue with that now, can you? XD

    I'm lucky enough that my teenage angst was let out on another forum that doesn't exist anymore.

    Most of my posts here are okay. Maybe a bit of oversharing here and there.

    I think looking back and regretting something is a sign of growth.
     
    Most of my edgy teen years were spent on EverGrande City, so no...? Not really.

    Tbh, apart from outgrowing some phases, I'm the same stupid Palamon I was in 2014 that I am now.

    I fixed the title since I didn't mean to focus it on just cringy PC stuff. ^^;
     
    My earliest internet phases were on another forum so I think the cringiest thing I used to do on PC for a while was end all my posts with

    I revived this account a month ago, so my 20+ year old posts are definitely within visible reach.
    I guess I'm proud to see how far I've matured in life compared to 20 years ago? 😅
     
    Unfortunately, PC took the brunt of me growing up. This was the only forum I was really active on when I was getting my first taste of independence, so I was pretty much wild on here. Exploring way too many different identities, spiraling moods that were either negative or positive, and just simply having no idea what I was doing as I grew up.

    I found a post that I made back in 2008. It was unrecognizable as something I would type.
     
    Most of my "learning how to act properly on the internet" time was spent on Wattpad, where you'd probably expect that kind of cringy online behavior from a young teen. My friends made me make an account in eighth grade, and I never had any kind of social media before. I'm sure I would disintegrate on the spot from cringe if I read through my oldest books. (Hell, the same thing happened looking through my old twitter account when I said I was straight) I have matured over the years of course, but I think I still have a fairly similar level of nerdiness as I did back then (but with a better understanding of internet culture/etiquette).

    Although some cringy behavior of mine specifically on PC... I do remember many years ago seeing people's swears posted with censors like "psyducking" and thought that was something people actually typed out. I actually typed out "psyducking" on a few posts before I realized that it was just a censor hiding the actual swears that people typed out, and I later turned off that option in the settings. I wonder if those messages made any sense to the people reading them lol
