I cringe hard. Thinking back to how I used to act on the internet back in high school… geez it's one of those moments where I'm glad to realize my accounts on said sites are either deactivated from inactivity or just gone in general.

Nowadays I at least TRY to not make an ass of myself, and mostly succeed in that regard (note: mostly).

High school? Heck, I regret most of what I did during the day when I got to bed at night. For example, I probably regret posting such something that clearly screams "oooh, poor me! Give me attention and pity!" even though that's not quite what I'm going for.
…
Now that I think about it, I regret, like, half the stuff I post.

I still have the nightmares…

I used to be a lot more sure that the stuff I had to say was important back in high school, so if I were to look back at some of the ignorant shit I posted back then I'd probably cringe super hard. In other words…

I was rand0m annoying immature genki as fuck when I first went on forums (I was like 11 at the time.) Plus I was a roleplayer, which, I still think is a fine thing to be, but the thing is I made the most ridiculous typos and my first couple characters were borderline Mary Sues…

But I got my act together pretty quickly, like, in a couple months. So it wasn't so bad, and I don't cringe that much….

Now that I think about it, my roleplays were friggin' weird. One of my favorites featured a knife-wielding self insert Snivy and a ghost that can age.

I still look fondly on that roleplay though.

> mfw thinking about embarrassing things I've done in the past.

I cringe at myself everyday, it seems like every memory of middle school and 9th grade i've ever had has been cringe.
I just want to slap my past self, say something like "Why the fuck were you so damn stupid?"

I don't want to talk about it.

Oh god, I was the fucking queen of the cringe back in the day. There's a reason why I don't think very much about my teenage years, and this is why.

Like we can talk about how I wanted to be a manga artist when I was 14

Complete with random shit grabbed from a japanese dictionary from the anime club

or how I was a fan of completely retarded anime

or how I wasn't fucking funny at all

or how I tried to sell thongs with this printed on it on cafepress

or how I literally wore a fedora for 5-6 years almost every day

at least I could still draw pretty sick birds

or the fact that I was basically The Jolly Jew for a short phase but even more autistic

(lets be honest this image is basically Jolly Jew incarnate)

or the fact that I made a rom hack where you could battle the Mythbusters as Ivan from Golden Sun

same rom hack has Obama and McCain as the main villains

OR WHEN I FUCKING DID THIS

Like holy shit it's like I shed my retardedness in the last 4 years or something, it's amazing what not being a complete social degenerate can do to make you less cringeworthy.

To answer the question though… Honestly I laugh about it because it's pretty fucking funny. At least I'm not the same person anymore, and I'm sure if people met me again they'd realize that I'm actually pretty cool now.

And I have a better job than them. So it's like the stereotypes continue to live.

It's my biggest source of cringe.
Not gonna talk about it.

Depends on what I'm thinking about. Half the time it's regretting everything I've done while the other half is feeling bad for being an ass to someone because I didn't know better. No regrets on the roleplaying, though.

I think of all my past mistakes everyday, it hurts a lot.
