    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

    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.

    Chūnibyō (中二病, lit. ‘middle-school second-year syndrome’) is a Japanese colloquial term typically used to describe adolescents with delusions of grandeur. These teenagers are thought to desperately want to stand out and convince themselves that they have hidden knowledge or secret powers.

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

    Animé from ages 15-18. It was the mid-to-late '90s and only the weird kids were into animé. My social life improved immensely when I grew out of that phase.

    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.
