>Embarrassing /lit/ related things you did as a kid

I'll start: When I was young, I was obsessed with Dune and even more obsessed with the Mentats. I love the idea of being so fucking smart that you could replace a computer. So like the mentally ill child I was, I start binging on cranberry juice (as a replacement for the red, staining Sapho juice in the books) and muttering my multiplication tables wherever I went.

When I was a young adult I was still obsessed with Dune from reading it as a young teen, and I'd get drunk and tell people how great it was and people would bait me into arguments about how great it was because apparently I was hilarious when drunk and explaining Dune lore.

It's okay OP. Dune is still good we just can't sperg out over it anymore.

I grew up in basically an entirely white city/state before anyone talked about race at school or anything, and when I was maybe 7 or 8 I read Gone with the Wind. It has a lot of slavery apologia in it, and goes on and on about how the slaves didn’t know where to go after they were freed. IIRC they have a mammy stereotype that doesn’t even leave after being freed or something insane like that.
I absorbed it unquestioningly and repeated it verbatim to a bunch of people until some adult took me aside and explained.

[Anonymous No.19758954]

When I was around 10, I got very obsessed with the Moomins, especially Snufkin, and I really wanted to be like him.
Him being lonesome by choice and mysterious and admired by the other characters really fascinated me, so I began learning how to play the harmonica and wore only green and fantasized about disappearing to the forest. I even got a green hat I wore regularly. The book Moominvalley in November then gave me some kind of depressive episode when I read it in fall break one year, because I felt like I did not truly understand the character and came to realize I did not share that many actual personal traits with him.

Pic rel makes me want to get back into it.

My grandmother's grandmother's diary talks about how after the slaves were freed one "mammy" type black woman stayed on with them as a house servant and didn't want to leave the family. So yeah it's kind of a stereotype but it really happened in some cases.

That doesn't sound unreasonable, though. If anything, her being attached to the relationships she made there and seeing the kids grow would be my first guess as to why someone in that situation would choose to stay. Or even just the fact that she sees that job as her vocation, as sad as that may sound in the current era. Money being an important factor too, obviously.

It’s cringe time.
When I was a kid I watched a movie where this girl could move objects with the mind. Then when we were at the airport I made my parents buy me some book called How to Develop Psychic Powers because I wanted to know telekinesis. I never finished reading it.
In high school I owned two NEECH books (Beyond Good and Evil and Zarathustra), which I didn’t understand a word but I would quote mine phrases that sounded cool or phrases against religion that I could occasionally drop to sound intelligent. I never finished reading them either, but was already planning on buying my third Nietzsche book.
It was then that I found out about the internet and began visiting atheist forums where people had already read the books and posted the relevant quotes, so I could just get the quotes I needed from there.

It makes you think how much of a person’s character is inborn versus acquired. Kids are egoistic pieces of shit, but get a pass for being kids, specially from the women. I’m still an egoistic piece of shit, but being self-conscious about it, I try to restrain my egoism as best as I can. I’ve been noticing that old people perhaps revert to their egoistic selves, as I’m seeing a lot of nastiness coming from old people lately, but at least their drives and physical powers are subdued. So much of my general character, character flaws and even sexual preferences and fantasies were already present from my earliest childhood that I wonder if these can be changed or corrected in case of flaws or that they are hard coded. The fact that we’re able to cringe at some of them if proof that we can at least be conscious about, if not change them.

As if the fish care about all that crap. I've caught fish with a bare hook. Everything in the wild is desperately hungry most of the time, it doesn't take much to trick its interest.

It feels like whenever someone says "people shouldn't be judged for their stupid opinions and statements until they're X years old" the age just keeps going higher. Some of you guys have to accept that if you're saying horrendously stupid shit in your twenties then maybe you deserve to feel a little embarrassed.

I feel like people are capable of stupidity and ignorance at any age and we should be forgiving of other people until they prove themselves purposefully ignorant rather than accidently.

Sure, but if you're doing shit like carrying around a book you haven't read to look smart or embarrassing yourself in philosophy lectures, then I think you have to accept that you were/are kind of a tool and you should have probably known better.

Is it really their fault if they were raised by television and copied what they saw? They never had a chance.

I would unironically read in restaurants.

I had a wattpad account and would write shitty meme stories as well as "serious" and "deep" ones.

I do read at restaurants. Sunday and Monday nights tend to be wonderfully quiet.

These included (but were not limited too)
A Creepypasta about Slenderman
A music parody of the fresh prince of bel air but it was about the ebola virus
An analysis of the lyrics "Mad World"
And things called "trollpastas" (I don't even know what that means anymore)

You are not morally obligated to submit to minorities. Read Stirner.

Do you think it was the homeschooling that made you weird or were you just fucked anyways?

as a spastic adhd kid with a troubled home life, I did A LOT of embarrassing shit, but anything /lit/ related was the least of them. I read an uncool amount, but since I was a freak anyway, nobody gave a shit about that.

That never left me. Some fucking Rupert Bear episode traumatised me at like 3 years old, now it's in there and it's never going away

Yes, I had some issues with this at well. It led to me seriously reconsidering my own sexuality until i quickly realized that i was not attracted to men in the least. turns out it was just some performance anxiety mixed with a madonna/whore complex

They changed me to a new school and every recess for like two months I went to the library to cry cuz I hated it.

[Anonymous No.19768009]

>>19767546
I did this except lunch and all of middle school because I had no one to sit with.
I think everyone eventually figured it out and made fun of me for it.

Not enslaving people isn’t submitting to minorities you goose.
