Omg haha SO many things! I was dealing with a ton of emotional turmoil as a teen and trying to process life changes that no young woman should suffer through so I really pushed boundaries. I think my biggest regrets though is that I started smoking heavily in my teens. Now seeing all these young kids with vape makes me cringe. I wish people would stop destroying their lungs 😬
I was kind of a old soul my whole life and generally didn’t make bad decisions other than trusting people that shouldn’t have been trusted, but I do cringe at how hard I tried to be “cool”. It was worse in middle school and everyone did it but my gosh how embarrassing to look back on😂
I definitely was in the same boat, body dysmorphia too young and remember eating just a bag of chips for a meal and definitely thinking I was wayyy too cool. I remember being 15 and taking my older sisters car and showing off at school I’m driving it and then wham! I got into a car accident smh. Also, the amount of drugs I did growing up was awful. I’m grateful that I was able to break free from that and never touch it but I was sniffing cocaine everyday for my late teenage years. Just cringing now.
And the hickey my mom spotted me in the act of getting, from the absolute worst kisser of my life. Dude thought my face was a chew toy. So many things about that single night make me still embarrassed 20+ years later.
My mental health was all haywire in high school and I have some weird memories about being very anxious unnecessarily. Most of my funny cringe was in middle school. I wore TWO polo shirts and flipped up the collars to middle school dances. I also was bad at straightening my hair and it’s very curly so there’d be like hunks of kink or wave that I would miss 😂
@ccmrc143 ugh the hair straightening! I went to boarding school and my roommate and I used to iron our hair on the ironing board in the laundry room before school dances.
I just feel like everything I did as a teenager was cringe. Y2K was good for no one 😂
I was such a rebellious teen. I was very opposition (and still am). If you told me to do something I would look you in the eyes and do the exact opposite and just wait to see the response. I got involved with a lot of bad people and got mixed up with some drugs. I’m lucky I didn’t end up dead in a ditch. I would go out and party all weekend. I ended up pregnant at 17 because of my decisions. I always told myself I would just get an abortion if I ended up pregnant. I couldn’t do it when I was actually faced with that decision. He was my first true love. Cringe? Yes but no regrets.
ETA: no regrets because everything that happened has led me to where I am today.
Also, I still wear my comfort tank under every shirt I own.
