Anyone reminisce their old posts?

Post Reply New Topic

I occasionally do it when I google my own username. I realize that I somehow lost the taste for WP somewhere along the way. There was a time when I would make lots of posts, then, I would almost only post in the quizzes forum, and now I got sick of the quizzes forum.

I haven't made more real life friends, but I somehow got bored of posting here. There was a time when I loved to make posts and start threads.

I sometimes search all posts by me just to see if a particular old one has had a reply. It's sad i know but hey

I search some of my old posts on this website every now and then, for my own amusement. It's interesting to see how I've changed since I made that particular post.

I look back at my old posts from time to time. It surprised me that I made a thread about The Beatles in 2004, stating that they were my favourite rock band. It also surprised me that I was looking for a boyfriend and sex obsessed, around the same time in 2004.

I facepalm at all of my old posts, because I used to be really immature when I first started here. I admit I can still be immature sometimes, but I'm not as bad as I used to be. I'm told I'm nicer than I was back then as well.

I haven't changed much

I've looked through my old posts before. I feel like I've changed a lot since then, mostly as a result of getting my official diagnosis. I'm less anxious, sad, and negative now. The differences are pretty clear because I only made maybe 10 posts between October 2009 and June 2010 (I was diagnosed in late October).

I have in the past with my old accounts and with this one a few times. I don't look at my old posts often.

I have been shocked at some of my old posts because I had no memory of posting it. I think I have changed over the last four years. Same as how much my views had changed. Then there have been things I have posted I wish I never posted about. But luckily those posts are gone now but they still exist on I2 and AFF. I don't even look for them or even read them.

I remember my posts that I've made during my black punk rock period. I'm shocked at how bitter and angry I was. I would have inflicted pain on some mainstream person, back in those days if they were to say something derogatory along what they'd think my intelligence level was. "This is how it feels to be called ret*d!" Punch!

Now, I wouldn't do that or think about doing such a thing, now. Going back to a happier time and back to my Mod roots has really helped me to get better. I'm emotionally stable now and I have a role model. I thought that role models were too old fashioned, over my first 5 years at WP. This wasn't a half hearted thing. I went full charge and looked to the day before I saw Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, in 1997. The real me was saying, "Set me free! Set me free!" I set myself free, and that's the CockneyRebel that you know, today.

Yes, the old days were so much better, I drag myself on here hoping to relive posting cycles similar to 3 months ago but too many of the people that posted then have moved on in life...not that I haven't seeing as I'm working all weekend.

I was just doing this a few hours ago. Clicked on the link in my public profile that says "Click to see all posts by Roxas_XIII."

There is a time when I just slip into a lurking mode and start looking at my old posts, even on occasion I would have to google myself just to find some of them and I must say, the one I felt like a complete dick was when I looked way back and I was in some love triangle....

**Good times when things were depressing""

To come think of it, I was rather a depressed guy who would just follow anything.

I've changed since then.

I'm still trying to forget my old post; remembering gives me anxiety attacks Seriously thou I haven't been here that long but I've Googled my old SN I've used on most other sites but quit using a few years ago & I've come quite a long way in some ways but in other ways my posting is like it was like 10 years ago instead of 5

Yeah, I even made a thread about it once. http://www.wrongplanet.net/postx132527-0-0.html

I'm reminiscing on it now. Ahhh, those good old days when I made that thread.

From time to time I would do a bit of "Necro-surfing" in the Dino-Aspie Ex Café or revisit an old thread I started. The longest lasting thread I ever made was the Bookworm's Alphabet Game.
