Where or who were you ten years ago? Tell us your story. (share a picture for extra points)

Ten years ago I was (almost) 16, in high school. I had short hair and used to love the weirdest (ugliest) jewellery and clothes. Used to spend the whole day studying and the whole night chatting with friends and [i]crushes[/i]. My main crush was that 22 y/o Mick Jagger look-a-like who I had the chance to date later only to find out that he would stalk me for the next 6 years. I was sad and had to live with severe anxiety and insomnia (not much has changed). I was mad at my boobs for being too small and my butt for being too big.
And of course none of the dreams I had back then has come true.


Your turn.

Ten years ago I was 16, just finished school and started my first job as a car mechanic. That was the time I started to dislike myself more and more. I lost contact to most of my friends because they either moved away or I wasn't motivated to go out on the weekends anymore because work was new to me and I didn't really like the job anyway so I was happy to have at least two days of the week all to myself with absolutely nothing to do. I didn't like the way I look. I was overweight and had an awful sense of fashion and because I never had a girlfriend back then and thought it would stay like that forever I saw no point in changing anything about my appearance. And classmates in vocational school bullying me for being the quiet, shy and stupid looking loner didn't really help build up a healthy self-esteem. I can't show you a picture because I either deleted or burned them all, or most of them, to leave this time behind.

@cheesyAF [b]YOU[/b] were overweight?!?! That's so hard to believe.😐 Sounds a lot like my life back then. I wonder why I ended up being so cool but you didn't.🤔

@SW-User Yeah. I weighed about 90 kg back then. Seems like we have a lot in common. Good and bad things. But I think we can all agree that I'm the cooler one.😏
