Former immature teen boys: what was the mindset?

19 comments

1. About what?

2. mostly hormones with lack of boundaries.

3. I was a teenager. They’re a bit thick.

4. Lets be honest. The mindset back then was all about girls and nothing else.

5. I had no mindset.

6. I want girls. Too scared of girls. Fuck my life.

7. We all have our “little shit” phase.

   We’re just doing what’s fun at the time.

8. Testosterone and fun. That was my mindset.

9. I was raised very religious in the 1970s. Everything I knew about relationships and girls was taught to me by the church. Leaving home and leaving religion basically reset my emotional development to where I realized just how much of an asshole I was as a teenager.

   In my teens I believed that a woman’s place was in the home, cooking and cleaning and making babies, and I treated girls accordingly. If a girl would sleep with you, she was a slut and not wife material, but as a male you were blameless.

   A lot of my friends got (shotgun) married way too young and divorced after 2-3 kids they were not emotionally or financially capable of taking care of.

   Thank the Navy and college for cracking that shell of ignorance and allowing me to start down the path to emotional maturity. Still working in it in my 50s. Fuck religion.

10. OMFG! Hitler was right!

    Yup, I was neo-nazi. Cringy as fuck.

11. Childhood sexual abuse manifesting as out of control behavior.

12. I’d. I just wanted a girl to touch my worm.

13. Doing anything to gain acceptance when there was none to be found.

14. I was juiced to the gills with a hormonal cocktail no one could have prepared me for while I desperately wanted to fuck any and all relatively attractive girls my age within a 250 mile radius and had no idea where to even begin in regards to getting that done.

15. “I c0m3 fr0m t3h intarw3bz and I no everyth1ng” I was on 4chan, mmos, and the somethingawful forums all the time. My entire life was being an internet edgelord and insufferable know-it-all .

16. Mindset? LOL

17. I used to think being controversial or contrarian for the sake of it was a personality

18. The big thing is that there wasn’t a defined mindset. Most of the stupid shit I did or said was impulsive stuff that occurred to me in the moment and generally I either didn’t think about it at all or only started to think about it after I started to do it or after it was done did.

19. Sex and Polaroids
