Do most people cringe at their teenage years?

[thetwilightzone]

I'm 20 and I can't even remember most of my childhood/teen years, let alone have moments of cringe.

 

[Sayo]

I used to, but I've recently realised I was a better teenager than I was an adult.

Anyway I do think most people cringe at their teenage years, and their 20s, and really any period of time after which they've exhibited significant growth and change.

I laugh along with the younger, awkward, closeted teen I was. :)

Cringe?! Are you kidding?! I'd do anything to re-live my teenage years!!!! Best years of my life.

I think I've mentally blocked out a lot of my teenage years. What I do remember seems alright..

@BaconCheeseburger Every time your username pops up I get hungry -.-

 

[Brokenanddeadinside]

I cringe at some parts but I was a much better person then although I cringe at how I let people treat me.

Most of my Teenage years were spent locked inside my house and school.

Every time I come to this website I get hungry too
Depression and food are such a great mix

I have been cringing my whole life. I became aware at about the age of 8. that I was born into trash. Extreme poverty abuse neglect, insecurities identity issues fuckmylife

My entire life is cringeworthy. Elementary school was a gong show, junior high was a shit show, high school was a drama, university was a clusterfuck and my life right now is an utter failure.

I fucking hate myself.

I would cringe only if I look back at videos and pictures of me. But if I had to think back with my own brain and no actual evidence, no, I don't cringe.

Yes so much to cring about but i csnt really connect with any of it. I can see an image of me but can't connect to it.

I had a Myspace account where I was Xx_LadyDark_xX, couldn't see through my emo fringe most of the time and said "okeez" and "rawr xD" unironically. I once carved the lyrics to a twenty one pilots song on my leg. I dont even like twenty one pilots anymore, and now its a scar. Yes, I do cringe. I cringe so much.

 

[Trashcan]

I cringe at my whole life

 

[whatmattersmost]

People always used Me(took advantage)
And they are Happy & I'm Alone & miserable planning on CTB tomorrow.
I should've spent my teen Years alone I feel maybe I would be better off now.
I hated being Alone.
But I always ended up Alone.
I was always friends with the wrong people and dated the wrong girls.
F**K PEOPLE.

It's a mixed bag for me. I've changed a lot in my 20s. In some ways, I was a better person when I was a kid. In other ways, I have managed to improve somewhat. The only sure thing is that I will never be satisfied with who I am. I've hated myself all of my life, and there doesn't seem to be an end to that in sight. I've come to a realize that I don't need a different life; I need to be a completely different person.

 

[Duqu]

Oh GOD yes. If I could forget/erase my teenage years I would be thrilled. Hell, I might be less fucked up (at least mentally; my body would still be fucked up).. I'm 30 now btw.

 

[IG959]

I miss being a young teen

 

[QueenEtna]

When I was 13 I used to add a bunch of people on facebook with anime character profiles (example konoka konoe from negima anime) then I would roleplay with them pretty much all day every day. It was soooo cringey going back and deleting all those horrible roleplays off of my facebook wall.

 

[Mr2005]

Anything up until 18 I can look back and laugh. Anything after and I feel physically wounded

Same here, I started to understand how fucked I was definitely by age 10. Public school felt like prison.

So, funny thing...I had this lockbox that had been floating around storage since like 2010 because I lost the keys to it. Well I found the key and opened it and it had a bunch of journals from 2002/2003 (yes, I was a teen then) and it's SOOOOO cringe-y. oh man.

I know the feeling. I have some of my old writing saved and 90% of it is r/iam14andthisisdeep. There's some surprisingly good stuff there too, but 90% is utter trash. If a teenager can write well and come up with some decent, non-cringey stuff, more power to them, but I definitely wasn't one of them, lol.

I liked my teenage days but they will never come back..
