This, oh god this. I'm so damn stupid. I'll often, even now, look back on social situations and think: WHY?! How did that seem like a good idea?!Capitano Segnaposto said:

Still, hindsight is 20/20
From starting High school to finishing it (You finish at 16 in England), there were three people I was properly attracted to during those years. Looking back I honestly cannot understand what the hell I was thinking. They aren't even remotely "my type".
I put that down to hormones more than stupidity though, I guess.

Yes. Yes I did.ForgottenPr0digy said:

You see? This is why I wish girls would be much more transparent in their desires. Well, I guess it doesn't help when you don't instantly want to have sex with every girl you meet and thus blow them off because you aren't looking for that at that very instant.captainfluoxetine said:

CHARLIE BROWN LIED TO ME! (Well actually it was Linus but it was still that world dangit!)
Also in my first year of college I looked at the hardest possible high school maths test and did every question near instantly in my head. There couldn't have been more than 6 months difference.

Looking back to your past and thinking 'my god I was a dumbass' is good thing!
After all not thinking so would mean you did not develop in that period of time.
Doesnt necessarily work the other way around though. Doing something stupid every day and realizing it the next day likely doesnt mean your very smart (or wise might be the better term).

A great artist or writer is never 100% happy with his own work. I have it with my drawings and poetry.Mike the Bard said:
To be honest I have fairly little... well I was Mormon, since I was raised that way but actually deconverted at 9/10 so thats cool. On the other hand women I am not so good with (just like about 50% of males on this thread apparently. Nice to be in good company.) The only outright totally stupid thing would be falling HARD for one girl around middle school. 8th grade to be exact. And then falling steadily more and more in love with her and talking to her alot hanging out with her a few times ect. I kept trying to figure it out but she was hard to understand. For example I once went to a movie with a friend of mine, her and her friend. She randomly had her hand on my thigh for lots of the movie, acted really flirty and joked about it alot. Que friend telling me she obviously liked me and so I should stop being a coward and go for it. The issue? She was one of those girls thats super-popular and is also not really at all afraid of physical contact so for her standards that wasn't unusual. In about 10th grade she figures out I like her (after half the grade, since I am not the most subtle person ever.) and I get the "no I really like you, your one of my best friends, but not that way" conversation. So this goes on for a while and things are alright, but I am making no progress towards not being in love with her, so finally I decide to completely severe all conection to her to make the process work. That got really really akward as I then had to explain that no Idid not hate her now, but being in love with her still wasn't really helpful, and besides I doubt she would miss me that much. Well I felt like a innsensitive jerk after that, since I relied on her not really caring about me. So now we are kinda still friends but stuff is more akward... cynicism really makes your descions sucks. The worst part is I am repeating the first part all over again.
For about 3 years of elementary school, my dad had me convinced that the Revolutionary war was decided by a coin toss, much like how posession is decided at the beginning of a football game. Then I find out my dad was trolling me and it was in fact a Bill Cosby joke all along.
About five or six years ago, I was just about the most arrogant, pompous, loudmouth prick you can imagine. I always had something to prove, something to show off. To be honest, I was a down right asshole.
Occasionally, when the missus gets together with her sis, she brings her boyfriend along. And what do you know, he's just about five years younger than me, and just about as arrogant and boastful as I used to be. He just can't keep a lid on things. Always badmouthing anything and everything that he has a disagreement with.
Just like me, way back when. I was an idiot then, he's an idiot now. I suppose it's just one of those things you grow out of when you man up a bit. In five years, I became cool as a cucumber. I can only hope he turn out the same.
