    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.

    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.

        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.

    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”.

    I swear I managed to go through all the typical cringe phases in middle school: weeb, nice girl, smart ass, edgy atheists, you name it lol I’m shocked that I had friends at all during that time.

    All of it.

    Currently seeing a counselor in my mid 30s to deal with some long undiagnosed issues. Go to the doctor folks.

    I thought I was far superior to people because I liked Pink Floyd and their music is actually meaningful and intellectual… yikes. I still like Pink Floyd though
