You know that feeling you get when you look back at all your old posts?

Yeah. I just remembered a forum I frequented when I was ten. I am ashamed.

So, let's have a share-thread of cringe-worthy posts your past-self did.

 

Remember a thread of mine a few years back in Saizen... think it was my first thread there... lasted months, and in the end it got deleted. xD

 

I still find it hard to believe I was 11 when I joined here ... things move so quickly. I remember looking back to my old posts a while ago and I cringed quite considerably. Sometimes I think "How can I possibly have been such a n00b??"

The thing is though, I have a really big problem. Not gonna lie, I have a pretty good memory, but I always seem to remember the embarrassing things I do the most frequently,. and like in Primary (Elementary) school, I did some pretty embarrassing things. *sigh*. I wish I could just delete those things from my brain sometimes, and forum posts are no different.

 

Just looking at my posts from 2006, 2007, even a bit of 2008, I feel a bit ashamed. I remember posting a lot of them pretty clearly, too. I guess that's just a part of growing up. In 2007 I would look back on my posts from 2006 and think about what a nubcake I was, and I'm sure one day I'll be looking at these posts and thinking about what an idiot I was. I suppose my perspective is exemplified by how long I've been here too, my 11-year-old self is just a few clicks away, haha.

But Clawtooth mentions how he'd sometimes like to go back and delete that stuff, and that kind of connects to tampering with the past for me. My past-self is as much a part of me as my current self is, and while I might feel ashamed of it sometimes, I wouldn't want to lose that either, you know?

 

It's not like I want to delete it from history like it never happened or anything, it's more like I sometimes wish I didn't remember it so much. I wouldn't want to lose that because I feel the same way, but sometimes I just wish I didn't remember some of it.

 

Alright, fair enough. =]
I like remembering the past though, even if they're not the best of times, it can make your current situations seem a bit better sometimes.

 

Oh yes, I remember when we had the Nostalgia rep weekend I went through basically all those old threads, I feel I was over kind and a bit of a suck up and it really annoyed me reading them, I felt ashamed of myself xD. Saying that, I still like the past posts, it reminds me a lot of some of the good times I've had on this forum. I would love to go back and read all the RP's I was in because I used to spend a lot of my time in there and there was this one RP that lasted for ages and I played a big part it in, the other people in it were all good friends as we played together but now I can't find it. I can't even remember what it's called.

I know I'm embarrassed of some of the posts I've put up in the past even recently but I hope that one day I can look back on them and laugh.

 

I think I started writing on different forums around the age of 13 or so, and I am definitely embarrassed when I read them, but like Misty, it's who I used to be. I find it to be a good way of seeing how much I've learned over the past 7 years, especially when it comes to computers (most my posts are questions about computers, which I know the answers to now!)

 

A conversation I had with a 16 year old when I was 7. Horrible grammar and spelling, completely 'shudder' worthy.

 

I find my past self rather intriguing, all I did was spam posts without actually putting any effort into 95% of them, but then I have some posts which still seem pretty well thought out to me, a lot more than some of my current, though they were more thought out in a devious way, as to get others in trouble without getting into any myself. Other than that I am a bit embarrassed about my old posts, especially my grammar and spelling, my English was horrible to say the least. I also seemed a lot more butthurt and angry back then than what I am as of later times, I held pretty big grudges against people for no particular reason.

Though honestly, I am usually embarrassed by my posts roughly six months after I posted them, even now this still applies. lol

 

The first thread I ever made was of people's favorite games from any time in the section that was basically for this. It got locked after about five pages worth of posts and I was so mad... I am ashamed...

 

That's why I never read my old posts.
