i was described by teachers as a social butterfly . i was always singing and laughing . omg .
a lil dreamer
who are you today?
Have always felt I’ve always been “the same”
Do y’all feel like you’ve CHANGED as a person?
I just feel as far back as I can remember, I’ve always thought or felt the same as I always have
there are some pieces of myself that are as old as i can remember
but i do wonder if those pieces were created via trauma
(i wasn't accepted by my dad)
you know how everybody has a different "interview" version of themselves?
i pretty much took that to the extreme
i'd be a hella good politician
but i am so tired of wearing the mask
as it is soul crushing
so... i'm trying to find some sincerity in my life right now...
you know?
hmm interesting question. i think that's how people perceived me back then which maybe made me embrace it more as an adult. and nah it doesn't bother me. i have my ear pierced, nails painted, wear some questionable stuff. i lean into it and lowkey like the attention and confidence it brings me
glad that you have embraced yourself!
i wish you continued freedom and acceptance on your journey
yeah. What causes ppl to forget how they were as children? Trauma?
i think so...
that's what i was hoping to pin down with this thread
really glad people are sharing their stories in here
I was that nigga I ain’t finna lie to you
are you still that nigga today?
what were you mad about?
I was young and dumb, my parents and my surroundings were hard on me and I wasn’t embracing it because I was a kid, they were preparing me for the real world but I wasn’t looking at it like that. I was looking at it as all these mfs is being mean to me, so let me take it out on other kids and teachers. Then as I got older I started seeing things for what they were and just started acting out in high school on some class clown s*** because I thought I was being “cool”. Looking back now, I would’ve been chill as a kid growing up because that honestly shaped my personality to some extent as an adult. I’m working on trying to break free and change that tho.
glad that you have embraced yourself!

i wish the same for you, friend!
are you still that nigga today?
I would like to say yes.
Way less immature tho.
I was fuuuuucked up as a kid to the point where I'm surprised I'm at all functional now. Had all kinds of depression and anxiety issues and my parents are very religious so I never got the professional help I needed in terms of counseling or medication. Definitely wanted to kill myself when I was like 10.
Things actually got better for the most part when I hit 12-14 and beyond. Started making friends and discovering creative outlets, which really did change my life.

I used to be in my room for hours because I was introverted playing with my action figures and acting like I was directing a film with them. Also remember being obsessed with Club Penguin and Guitar Hero.
i hated when my parents tried putting me in summer camp
i have never liked small talk
you get older and become domesticated and all that
but i wholeheartedly believe nobody actually likes small talk and we need to just stop pretending
I’m ok with small talk some times it’s better than silence
i never lasted more than a day or two in summer camp
i never knew why when i was younger
but i just really liked having time to myself
and i hated meeting new people
i still do for the most part
but at the same time i've been working in sales since 2014 so i've learned the value in being smooth and off the cuff etc.
aside from getting to know women that i fancy
i don't tend to enjoy small talking for no reason
Bet I didn’t make any new friends on summer camp
That’s sad when I think about It if it was me rn I would talk to everybody there

It’s cool that you’re now embracing it, but I’d never try to make my child feel bad on purpose
It’s a child it’s not supposed to “face the real world” be a child live life be happy until you actually have to grow up
Have always felt I’ve always been “the same”
Do y’all feel like you’ve CHANGED as a person?
I just feel as far back as I can remember, I’ve always thought or felt the same as I always have
I absolutely changed for the better

I used to play club penguin and just play games on miniclip a lot
I think parenting determines if you end up extrovert or introvert
Most children out going but strict parenting can change that
