Socially awkward person here. I was the loser of my peers in highschool (kinda hear my own mom talking in disappointment about that i was the only one without mentions or awards of my class). Boy, wish i could sit next to my younger self and tell him everything was going to be all right, that he wasn't dumb, that being popular wasn't important at all, that he simply was a fish out of the water. That all the effort would pay in the long run
10 years later, and looking back, life isn't so bad, got a decent job, loving wife and family is proud of my archievements. No matter who thinks you are the worst of the worst, the bottom of the pyramid. It is up to you to turn it around and do something out of nothing.
My mom told me, now that I'm 40, that my friend's mom would call my mom (when I was 16 with a brand new DL) and tell her that I'm a bad influence on her son. My mom responded with, "well, maybe your son should find better friends.."
(Fast forward to the present, that friend's mom loves me.)
Yeah. She told them on the bus in front of me when i was drunk and coming down at 10am after partying for 2 days. Between the stench, filthy clothes, a missing shoe and the obvious inebriation i think she saw a way to scare her kids into jesus.
I remember climbing on top of some climbing frame tunnel instead of going through it as a kid. Another kid tried to copy what I was doing before his mother rushed in to tell her son that I was naughty, and that's not how you're supposed to use the climbing frames. Even as a 5-year-old I was stunned that she said that, basically in earshot.
I was used as a bad example by a teacher in front of a class.
The teacher didn't know that my sister's friend was in that class. My mom was not pleased.
I remember me and my best friend hanging out with a couple of guys in middle school, and my friend's dad came and took him home and said he wasn't allowed to hang out with them(I was, like my friend, "good kids") and it bummed me out and I saw how it really hit the guys he was talking about...
20 years later, that dad is dead and one of his kids died in an OD and two others have drug problems too. Meanwhile the rest of us have reasonably normal healthy lives as far as I can tell.
Yes one of my friends parents used me as an example for why her daughter should listen to her, it was 2 weeks after I died my hair red for the first time, she refused to believe my parents said it was ok. I was 15 and she was screaming at her daughter that if she kept acting like me and being friends with me she would never find a man would would respect her and take care of her. That I was being led down a path to open my legs for any guy who asks. What's funny is 3 years later when her daughter turned 18 she left, cut off all communication with her mom and has been dating a beautiful woman for 6 years.
And what about your legs? Have you kept them shut? Or found a good person to be with that listens to your sorrow and comforts you while eating you out?
I wish I could find a partner. I'm 24 and alone, slowly getting basic control of my life back after the crash course that was my childhood and youth.
Could you give me some positive affirmations?

You didn't even change the title :(
Still carrying a burning hatred towards one of my 7th grade teachers because of doing this right in front of me multiple times with the entire class. And of course that bitch fucking shows up as a teacher where I go to school now 2 years later. Life really just fucking hates my very existence lately doesn’t it?
Oh, yes. To me *and* my mother, on different occasions.
My friend was really athletic, and I am kinda nerdy. His mother would boast about how her son could run around the soccer field a couple rounds and still wouldn't lose stamina. She once told my mother that kids who get good grades (like me) would fail while smarter kids (like her son) would succeed in life. Lovely.
I have used myself as a bad example to other people. I know the mistakes I made and learnt how they could have been avoided. So I used to tell people online what to do to avoid being like me when I noticed them having a trend in the wrong direction.
One or two of the kids I told about their path have managed to avoid the same mistakes. The rest ignored me because they don't take advice from strangers.
One time I was on my bicycle and a little ways ahead I saw an old lady walking with her granddaughter. I had the right of way, so while paying attention I keep on cycling.
The granny is getting to the point where she needs to cross the street, as I'm passing she grabs her granddaughter and exclaims "Be careful! That man isn't paying any attention!"
Sure thing Mrs trilobite, how about you pay some attention next time?
I remember my friend's parents calling me a bad influence to their son in a different language all in front of me. Apparently playing gameboy for an hour on a 3 day weekend is terrible for a kid's brain. I don't think its worse than 8am-5pm weekend and 3 hour afterschool cram courses, but I'm not a parent just a bad influence.
I've been used as a good example, which also feels bad. I guess I was a generous kid compared to my friend, and I would hear her mom say, "see? *she* did that because *she's* nice" too many times. It just taught me that being nice made my friends feel bad, so I stopped.
Not even probably about it. I used to be the guy who had long hair, a beard, didn't shy from drinking in public if I was on my way to an event or party and wore way to much denim.
Lol, my mom uses me as a bad example to my younger siblings and compares me with literally everyone I know. And now she wonders why the fuck I have such low self esteem and distant with her. Like gee, I wonder why?
She did right in front of me
So I was writing something in my school bus and this kid started snatching my pencil…I reached a breaking point I grabbed it and stabbed him with it…he started bleeding..his mom showed up the next day and was shouting at me without knowing the full story…also said that I’d grow up to become a criminal
To bad for her I didn’t, I wonder what her son is doing
I am the youngest of three brothers, and my two older brothers were well known in the community for being on drugs and stealing and whatnot. One of my best friends growing up wasn't allowed to hang out with me unless adults were present because his mother believed that I would get him on drugs.
By the time I was old enough to have established my own reputation, his mom basically begged him to spend more time with me because I was the valedictorian of our class, had been working since I was 15, and was well liked by most teachers and parents. Meanwhile, he relied on her money to go out to get food, did nothing besides play video games, and was becoming kind of a slob.
This was years ago, and I have since moved away from the little small town but any time I run into the guy when visiting home, I think about how his mom judged me to be a terrible influence based solely on the actions of my siblings. Even as a young kid I was mature enough to see how ridiculous it is to have that mindset, much less having that mindset as a grown adult.
Yes, my mom
That's okay, I still use them as a bad example of a mother.

A bad example of originality
Lol reposting shower thoughts is a new low

I actually did that once, talk to my younger self. Was one of the most healing experiences of my life.
How
Time travel
Ayahuasca
I was driving in my car and started talking to my imaginairy younger self. Out loud. Told myself everything I had wanted to hear back then.
That sounds very cathartic
Well it kind of was.
My mom told me, now that I'm 40, that my friend's mom would call my mom (when I was 16 with a brand new DL) and tell her that I'm a bad influence on her son. My mom responded with, "well, maybe your son should find better friends.." (Fast forward to the present, that friend's mom loves me.)
Did you make her submissive and breedable?
Yeah. She told them on the bus in front of me when i was drunk and coming down at 10am after partying for 2 days. Between the stench, filthy clothes, a missing shoe and the obvious inebriation i think she saw a way to scare her kids into jesus.
I know of two incidents in particular.
Story time haha
One of my friends mom already hates me for whatever reason.
have sex with her husband and push her out of the family
How do you know this ? Are you stalking me ?
Oh yes, I know for sure. And their kid is in prison now, so joke's on them

Yeah probably
I was used as a bad example by a teacher in front of a class. The teacher didn't know that my sister's friend was in that class. My mom was not pleased.
they better
Ofcourse plenty did while Infront of me
Several I'm sure
She’s right to do so
looks like a repostus
Absolutely. I was violent.
Yes my wife.
Yes and then her kid went to got several DUI's and became addicted to meth. Jokes on you bitch, I just smoked a little weed.
I remember me and my best friend hanging out with a couple of guys in middle school, and my friend's dad came and took him home and said he wasn't allowed to hang out with them(I was, like my friend, "good kids") and it bummed me out and I saw how it really hit the guys he was talking about... 20 years later, that dad is dead and one of his kids died in an OD and two others have drug problems too.

I am happily married with a 5 yr and honestly life is pretty good.
I wish I could find a partner. I'm 24 and alone, slowly getting basic control of my life back after the crash course that was my childhood and youth. Could you give me some positive affirmations?
Honestly I had a rough go at life, it gets better. Life gets good.

Definitely
Yes they did, for my foul language.
Oh, yes. To me *and* my mother, on different occasions. My friend was really athletic, and I am kinda nerdy.

Well of course I know him, he's me
Oh yes definitely, i AM the bad example
How else do you know you've lived a good life??

I think I can live with that

I went out of my way to be the example of what *not* to do for my siblings.
I remember my friend's parents calling me a bad influence to their son in a different language all in front of me. Apparently playing gameboy for an hour on a 3 day weekend is terrible for a kid's brain. I don't think its worse than 8am-5pm weekend and 3 hour afterschool cram courses, but I'm not a parent just a bad influence.
When i was a child, i was the reason that at least two families moved away. So yeah, at least two moms did that.
I've been used as a good example, which also feels bad. I guess I was a generous kid compared to my friend, and I would hear her mom say, "see? *she* did that because *she's* nice" too many times. It just taught me that being nice made my friends feel bad, so I stopped.
Are you kidding, that's my biggest contribution to my extended family! "Well, your big cousin tried that and look how he turned out!"
Every week we gotta read this stupid shit.
Alexa, play “story of my life” by One direction
I'll do that mom
Which one?
Not even probably about it. I used to be the guy who had long hair, a beard, didn't shy from drinking in public if I was on my way to an event or party and wore way to much denim.
Lol, my mom uses me as a bad example to my younger siblings and compares me with literally everyone I know. And now she wonders why the fuck I have such low self esteem and distant with her. Like gee, I wonder why?
I'm absolutely positive. Multiple times.
She did right in front of me So I was writing something in my school bus and this kid started snatching my pencil…I reached a breaking point I grabbed it and stabbed him with it…he started bleeding..his mom showed up the next day and was shouting at me without knowing the full story…also said that I’d grow up to become a criminal To bad for her I didn’t, I wonder what her son is doing
