• Phases that you went through as a kid?

I dunno, I kind of had a question about a phase I went through when I was younger, but I figured why not just make it a broad discussion of those embarrassing childhood phases? A few years back (by this I mean maybe 2 or 3 years ago??) I was really irritated by the "90's kids" thing, so because of that I kind of rejected/avoided things related to the 90's, particularly music? I would still watch tv shows and cartoons and movies though. I also had an obsession with old games, which included 90's games. Haven't gotten over old games though. I just didn't want to be the guy who was like "90's things were da bes and new things suck." So lately I started using Pandora so I could expand the kinds of music I listened to, and came across some music from the 90's that I really enjoyed (particularly Cake? Why did nobody tell me about Cake?) And now I feel like I went through a phase of being a "not a 90's kid so I kind of avoid 90's stuff but not really because it's mostly music?" I don't know. I also went through an "emo" thing. But I was too broke to do all of my clothes shopping at Hot Topic, and too lazy to do any heavy makeup or dye my hair, so it was more "broke emo wannabe." At the same time I was going through a rather nasty weeaboo phase and also a weird music phase where I listened exclusively to jrock and stuff from the local alternative rock station, plus a heavy dose of stuff my dad listens to. All of that on top of a Sonic the Hedgehog phase. I had like a billion fan characters and I recently came across my drawings of them and I just kind of shoved them in a box and stuffed them on a closet shelf and laughed. And that's the story of what I did in middle school. What about you guys? What stupid phases have you gone through?
I used to be an edgy piece of shit who though browsing 4chan made me a badass because of anonymous and shit. God damn I was a fucking dumbass as a kid.
I've gone though furry, brony, "Family Guy > The Simpsons", Sonicfag... basically most of the cliche forms of autism.
I went through a hardcore furry phase, then a hardcore brony phase right the fuck afterwards. I'm sorry.

If I had a fedora then I'd have been one of those people.
i liked memes for like a couple years goddamn
What I did in elementary school was... - I was an odd child - Broke my leg What I did in middle school was... - Listened to commercialized, overproduced hard rock and complained about how corporations rule everything (hue) - Never did homework/studied until the morning of, and wondered why I was getting bad grades - Wore all black with long-ass hair, because I wanted to "be original" - Studied North Korea and attempted to learn Russian - Touted atheism around in order to look edgy and logical - Game maker 7 - ROBLOX (BOLLOX) - Probably put on a few watchlists What I did in high school was... - Stopped wearing all black and shit, got a normal haircut, etc - DarkRP - dark times, downtown doin' crimes - "deadmau5 is the only good edm artist and is the only true dj and skrillex is cool too" - Web design, Got certified in adobe flash (hue), Learned and forgot Java - Read every single mother FUCKING chapter of Initial D throughout half of junior year - Obtained a soft spot for eurobeat and punk rock What I'm doing in college is... - Flying planes - Studying planes - Drinking beer and listening to rock music - Falling off of skateboards - Shitposting on this website
I went through a Fedora edgelord phase in middle school, hated everyone and held myself superior to everyone went through a meme phase early in high school i hate both instances of me severely
When I was around 14-15 years old I "trolled" a fat chick with some genetic disease online that looked like fucking Shrek, making her and other people on this Swedish site think we were dating. One time I told her to go to some fucking shoppingcentre. Of course I didn't show up because I had no idea where she lived and she had no idea where I lived. I also told her my fetish was food and that I was a raggare (think redneck with grease in his hair) This went on for a while with me making myself very unbelievable. I basically just said fuck it and my real girlfriend called her and told her to leave me alone. ;tldr I had some weird fake relationship with Shrek.
My 'annoying middle schooler' phase was probably my most embarrassing one. During a portion of it I thought I was in love, like, I even wrote a letter to a girl and everything, another part I wanted to just burn shit. I had such a 'Holier-than-thou' complex it wasn't even funny. I was quote-unquote 'rebellious' to any adult that wasn't my parents. I went through a small depression between then and now, but I regret almost everything I did from age 11-13.
i liked 4chan for about a year but otherwise i was not a furry, brony, scalie, sonic man or anything else weird like that so im happy as heck
I think I told people I liked anime once in elementary school? Otherwise I've been a normal functioning human bean and still am.
I feel odd. I never really went through phases and I found it hilarious when other kids did. Though, I did irrationally hate Mario games for a month or two because I liked Sanic. Then I realised how fucking retarded I was and stopped.
Used to be an annoying smart ass, now I'm an overly depressed 17 year old.
I.... I owned a pair of trip pants. [editline]19th November 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=CheeseMan;46530461]i liked 4chan for about a year but otherwise i was not a furry, brony, scalie, sonic man or anything else weird like that so im happy as heck[/QUOTE] liar
I went through a really stupid phase of thinking "diarrhea" and toilet humor were so funny, it lasted till I was like 12.
I had an "if you believe in religion you're an idiot" phase for a while, which is kinda funny because before that I believed in souls and being reborn in a new body after death. Nowadays I live in peace and tranquility believing in the "since you can't prove/disprove any gods or religions, I'll just not give a fuck about any of them"-philosophy
I went through a skateboard phaze, then into a fantasy phase. Now I'm kinda everywhere, never sticking to one thing. I'll play most things, listen to most music, watch most genres, etc.
Somehow I found the time one summer to read the entirety of Atlas Shrugged. Never got super into it though, which is good because otherwise I would've had to deal with a lot more self-loathing in later years.
basically thinking i was Holden Caulfield after reading catcher in the rye :suicide:
I remember one week in high school where I swapped between being a conservative to a liberal multiple times.
At one point I was that one kid who made comments in the classroom whenever someone said something, later I was that edgy kid who drew skulls and the word death on desks in middle school, and then a sony fanboy who would go around the youtube comments posting those dumb copypasta saying ps3 is the better console and 360 sucks. God I feel embarrass of that part in my life.
I was a Sonic fanboy long before I discovered Half-Life. I had a very shitty recolor OC and everything.
I wore the same tattered trilby fedora every day for the entirety of my high school freshman year. It was right around the time they started being associated with MRAs, and I hated (and still hate) MRAs too, but I had myself convinced that it was different with me, that it was part of my ~unique style~. Really it was because I wanted one since I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark in 5th grade and I could never find one until then. This kind of happened right between my "I love memes and the beatles" phase and my current, developed self. I was never an edgy motherfucker though, I just wanted to seem sophisticated. I destroyed all my fedoras and shitty newsboy caps around halfway through sophomore year. Now my style is just dressing like a dad. I also discovered the wonderful world of jackets.
i had to move and change schools because my parents got jobs somewhere else. i lost contact with my old friends and i became a social outcast that never talked to anyone. from 8th grade to 10th grade i had no friends except for like 1 or 2 other nerds i only talked to at lunch. 11th grade i looked at the fix up look sharp thread here and realized how much of a sperg i was, so facepunch essentially fixed me back to normal.
I was a huge book fanatic and went through a twilight phase when I was 13 - 15, and thought it was AWESOME. After Breaking Dawn I became a chill motherfucker who didn't give a fuck about school or people. Now I'm 22 and I'm still chill as fuck. I can't say it was a BAD phase, because when I was obsessed with Twilight, I was obsessed with Dragonlance, Eragon, and Redwall books (which are all awesome). And Twilight gave me so much inspiration to write (none of that stupid mary sue shit) I was fascinated with a dark, fantasy worlds and created my own species and stories and adventures in my head that I had to write down as I got older.
"That's retarded." No one likes walls of text, so I'll greentext it. >third grade, eight years old >at an assembly about bullying held by the school guidance counselor Mr. Johansen >he was talking to us about bullying and gossiping, and how to not do it >he has the whole school call after him in unison "Never keep bullying a secret." >I get about halfway through it, then look to my friend and notice he isn't saying it, just laughing >I start laughing too because I don't want to look dumb in front of my friend >didn't notice that everyone went quiet >Look at him and say "That's retarded." >everyone looks at me I don't really remember anything after that. No repercussions, I suppose. I later learned that Mr. Johansen has a mentally impaired son.
Also, great idea for a thread, OP. Sorry about my frightful prose. There's no palatable way in which to write a story via greentext.
Oh yeah also in 7th grade, during my Beatles phase, I became a massive fan of Spore, particularly the modding community. I tried to come up with a cool name so I went with "RaiderOfLife29" and later "LifeRaider". Fuck that.
during middle school everybody, including me played Yu-Gi-Oh and Runescape at every opportunity, not to say they aren't fun but you can't imagine how often I played that shit there's the usual Roblox addiction. I'd honestly play it more except the community on that is scary as fuck. years earlier I helped my friend write a sonic fanfiction on some sonic related forums somewhere and legitimately enjoyed it. never spoke of that again.
