    “Why aren’t girls interested in guys like me?! 😭”

    Because you’re weird and overbearing.

    Anime, but it wasn’t popular yet, most people didn’t know what it was. Suncoast video was the only place you could go to buy anime VHS tapes.

    Today I’d have been called a weaboo, but back then I was just weird and cringe.

    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.

    Being undiagnosed autistic at the time, I suspect everything I did was. I also don’t know because I thought everything was fine.

    I could go find some people I went to school with, but one, I hope they don’t remember me, and two I hope they all moved far away and are super successful.

    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

    I had a bit of a David Icke phase when I was a teenager. Thankfully, that ended!

    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.

    Weirdly I don’t think I’ve ever had a “phase” like other people seem to have gone through. Is this common enough to not have had something like that?

    I guess it was possibly as a teen when I was being LOLRANDOM on internet forums. Not sure if that counts tho because I have always been an internet dweller.
