How would you describe yourself back when you were a kid?

[Bamba]

Guys. So this thread is for you all to describe yourselves what kind of a kid were you when you were young. I refer to around age 10 or so.

Personally, back when I was 10 I was quite ignorant, shy, rude and not very communicative in general. I was having a hard time making friends at school, mostly because of these things I mentioned.

What about you guys? What kind of a kid were you when you were about 10 years old?

Stupid . Nothing much as changed since then . I'm a stupid adult . I wasn't very social. Again not much has changed . Still hate talking to people . Only thing that did change was i lost weight and became super good looking . But since i'm a terrible saleman , i don't get any women . Awsome merchandise , shitty saleman.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Shy, inquisitive, naive, easily influenced, ignorant, athletic, humorous, bookworm, gamer.

Some of those things remain to this day, others, not so much.

Man, I used to devour books when I was a kid, so much so that my science teacher thought I was a slacker, when in fact I had learned everything about that class months before.

His face when I got the 2nd best score in an exam for that year was priceless

I was pretty anti-social as a kid, and I was really shy. I remember back in middle school it literally took me about 6 months just to build up the courage to ask a girl I liked out, which didn't go in my favor. >.>

Though I've become more social now and since high school. And if I'm not hanging out with a friend, my S.O, etc. then I tend to be on some sort of forum to talk to people (I'd still consider that to be social to some degree).

 

[Slaanesh]

Around 10, I was pretty sociable, fat, had plenty of friends, I was actually pretty cool now that I think about it. Big difference to who I am today, borderline anti-social, fit, handsome and fabulous, and very few friends.

 

[Dave In A Cape]

I was too trusting and it lead me to get letdown and hurt by others too often.
I used to rely on friends and family to help me through tough times but they rarely came through for me.

12 years later and nothing has changed.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

A but dumb, naive, pretty innocent to the workings of the world... not so much nowadays, though...

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

I can remember being very bored and sleepy at school, but very happy and content whilst not at school. I've always been very introverted, and had no idea what was really going on socially(still don't, really). But I was always happy just to be in my own little world.

I had a few batman figurines, so life was good.

 

[Soxafloppin]

"****" probably sums it up better that I'd like it too

 

[Thaluikhain]

Can't really remember. I do know that I spent a lot of time being insufferable, but can't remember exactly when that was.

 

[aggers]

for my formative years i lived in rural ireland, i was the tallest in my class, i could speak gaelic and i had NEVER seen a 3 story building. i read voraciously and perpetually of the world beyond the charming hinterland i lived in. i was incredibly naive but i loved it, i then moved to the massive metropolis of london with my english relatives and i changed completely, seeing the museums blew me away i was 12 and ever since i discovered my natural affinity for academic subjects. i still like to read and im super nerdy but i feel i have irrevocably changed. i am now unrecognisable to my irish relatives, puberty hit me like a brick, im 6,2 nordic looking with a proper english accent cant remember a word of Gaelic either.

if i were to describe my former self succinctly... naive and saccharine

 

[Amethyst Wind]

When I was a kid I was younger.

Not a whole lot has changed except now I don't get tongue-tied and I don't care about making others like me.

 

[Auron225]

Stupid. I mean seriously downright "WHAT!?!" stupid. I was OK at maths though, got pretty damn good at it and much better at everything else in high school (except P.E., screw that). High-school me was pretty bright - primary-school me, not at all.

Painfully shy, naive and no self-esteem. I didn't have a completely crap childhood btw, I just hated school. Also anxious, about the smallest things. I was always so concerned about homework for some reason.

 

[Casual Shinji]

When I was 10 I was a girl. At least, people would constantly mistake me for a girl because of my curly golden hair and adorable face.

I was also skinny as hell and could leap like a gummi bear.

And I fucking hated reading, even comic books.

 

[PhantomGanon]

I was a problem child, i'll be honest, don't know how my folks put up with it.

Better now though, probably because i'm on Aderall.

 

[The Night Angel]

Chubby kid, gamer, read lots of books, shy, loner, and slightly depressed (family had just moved to Spain when I was nine, missed Ireland, though God knows why anyone would miss this place). Most of those are no longer true, not all.

 

[TheLion]

Very friendly, confident, and naively optimistic. The stark opposite of my isolated, depressed, and gravely pessimistic post-highschool self. The adolescent in between was an envious, popularity-hungry dick.

 

[lRookiel]

Not miserable, not cynical and not anti social.

Wow, my time on the internet has made me an anti social prick.... Still I prefer this to my childhood

 

[theparsonski]

I was very social, I had lots of friends and apparently I was pretty funny, but I wasn't one of the 'cool' or 'popular' kids. I was a bit of a prick to be honest, especially when I moved into Years 7 and 8; I did some things I'm not proud of. I was also quite insecure, and self-conscious about my looks. I wasn't fat or anything, but I was a bit chubby, and I really wasn't happy with my looks. I started exercising when I was about 11, and since then I've just gotten in and (pretty much) stayed in very good shape.
I had a huge imagination though. I loved to draw and read, and write stories and things like that, and in the playground I played some very imaginative games indeed. I also loved acting, so much so that I ended doing some professional work (BBC Radio 4 Afternoon Plays and a couple of TV shows and the like). I think doing that from aged 9 definitely helped me mature a little.
I'm a lot happier with myself now. I'm sure that will change when I look back on how I am now though.
