I feel like the answer to "how old are you" is going to add a lot of context to this question.
Its a reflective on memories... since like this shit is so fucked... I mean we only get like... what... 50-100 years here and forever die?
So yeah, idk why I asked this question...
Honestly when you get an existential crisis... the idea of "cringe" and "shame" doesn't even fucking matter anymore...
You cannot avoid death...
Embarassing moments and stupid quesrions doesn't matter.
Memories are already fading away, and nostalgia is just reliving moments in space time that can not truely be re-lived again...
Sorry if I sound cringe af, but the male brain doesn't fully develop until 25, so I got like over a year before I could even scientifically considered "mature" or whatever that's supposed to mean...
TLDR: Just remembering childhood moments... the adult world is cruel, wars, oppression, corruption, injustice... don't mind me, feel free to ignore this post.
I feel you homie. But honestly 50-100 years is plenty, that's a long time to be alive. Based on what you said, you understand that this shit gets exhausting after a while. But then again, sometimes memories can be more enjoyable than the actual experiences. It's very common that we experience things in life and don't fully appreciate them until we look back in hindsight.
Mainly if you are physically healthy and able to live comfortably in society, you should enjoy it as much as you can, because most other people don't have it as good and they still find a way to make the most of it.
To answer your question, never. I just wanted to do my own thing and read or play video games, it seemed better to avoid my parents' attention rather than seek it out.
