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

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!
The reptilians finally got to you I guess haha
When I was 11-12 I'd turn up to shops/stores in pajamas. I felt so rebellious
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.
Kaneki Ken profile picture, anyone?
Really, REALLY bad poetry. About My Pain
Edgy atheist.
I am still nonreligious and dislike organized religion tho, I just dont talk about it anymore.
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.
Ages 2-25
Part 2: Learn to Hide It Ages 25-present.
It ended for you?
does "every fucking word that came out of my mouth" count?
I don't think so, if it does then mine never ended
For a few years in middle school, I was waaaaay too into Monty Python.
No you weren't. That will be £5
No such thing as "too into Monty Python"
OP: weeeeell, I got better
I liked stealing things from my friends and running away, only to give them back when caught. I was such a shit
Reading edgy manga was cool.
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.
Fundamentalist.
Had several of these , only telling you one :
Thought being a hipster was cꝏl
You really really really don't wanna know what the others were
I do
I do.
