why yes we can

back in the day i worked at a new age store, which did indeed involve a lot of cringe on a daily basis. but i'll never forget the time that my boss's newer/hotter/wilder wife was hardcore flirting with her husband like seven feet away from me. there was a cash register inbetween us but still. i heard them talking about his pickle. like this man is fifty and she is almost half his age. they were laughing about how she used to come in and flirt with him when he was previously married, and i heard him say "but i was trying to be a good boy" and they started giggling and whispering like teenagers in heat and i almost threw up a little

sometimes people would come and get reiki sessions from her in the back room where I know that he just got handsies from her earlier in the day

sorry to be so bitter but they were both cray. he's come in literally crying it seemed every other day that they were getting divorced and then she'd come waltzing in with a new wig and weirdly revealing outfit more appropriate for a tweenage hipster and they would disappear all day in the throes of wild love making/money spending.

she was a self professed psychic but what she really was, was psychopathic. genuine empaths are cool but i watched her manipulate so many people with her head games. as for her husband, it was pretty much karma personified. the business went under a couple years after marriage, now she posts on her blog about how she is so experienced at corporate infrastructure and he posts on Facebook about needing a job. it is sad funny

have more stories if anybody cares. sorry for not the best formatting. it's weird to remember all these things, at the time it took a lot out of me but it's a little funnier now

very unique clientele indeed, and yes i learned a lot but i am glad it came to an end as well.

on with the stories!

there was a very bizarre trio that came in semi regularly. it was a woman, a man and their teenage son. the son was actually very nice, rather well balanced, but his parents were a different story. they were self professed ex-bounty hunters - they both drove motorcycles and tended to dress the part. the woman was of, well, indiscriminate race, and it seemed she would play up whatever seemed most profitable to her in the moment, which was creepy. she was always trying to get on at the store as a resident psychic, and she did this by generally freaking out the other customers, or by focusing on one employee whom she thought she could manipulate to get her foot in the door.

the man would just kind of stand around being useless and while she freaked out and demanded attention. they were both pretty built so i always though it was kind of suspicious that they brought up the ex-bounty hunter thing, as if that were supposed to intimidate people into paying attention to their antics. basically if she was in the store, she needed to be the center of attention. she was loud and had to look at everything in every case, only to not buy it. i always felt creeped out when i was working alone. i recall distinctly the husband asking more than once if i was working alone, so naturally i lied and said (man's name) was in the back.

there was one time when she came in and proclaimed loudly that she felt someone in the store had lost somebody. this poor girl in the corner looking at jewelry noped out of there. my other coworker was like oh my god! so cool and she was just bedazzling him with a bunch of bullshit and he was totally falling for it. she never pulled that shit on me, i was nice to her but she always seemed to be more of a creep than a psychic

more stories incoming

i had another coworker who was genuine, kind and sweet. unfortunately this kind of made her a target. this very strange and sad woman would come in and ask all the time about psychic stuff. i think she genuinely believed that there were people in the store with special psychic powers, and that we all had this super secret knowledge that we were keeping to ourselves. maybe she had a bit of a mental disorder, i mean she had a job but she often didn't understand words we used . . . so we all working there had a bit of sympathy of for her, a fact which she really pushed for all its worth.

she would harass my coworker for hours at a time, asking her questions, trying to get her to use her intuitive powers to figure out some sort of vague situation. eventually we found out kinda what happened, this woman in question had a crush on some lady on facebook/twitter and had been retweeting all of this woman's tweets. and now she was super afraid that this unknown woman was mad at her because she wasn't tweeting back.

she would come hang out while we were trying to close and eventually i told this woman that my coworker was too kind to say that all the questions were draining. then she turned her questions to me haha. like how do you know my questions are draining? are you psychic too? she tried to touch my necklaces one time and i had to explain why that was not appropriate, even though it certainly seemed like the new age store was a free for all compared to other places

eventually she has us save a crystal in the case for her while she saved up the sixteen dollars. when she came back and got it she named it after everyone in the store, with their names smooshed together. i was so pissed that one of my other coworkers told her my real name and not my nickname, but c'esst la vie

this one is kind of hard for me to write about, but i promise i will follow it up with something funnier. i've not been honest about this with anybody in charge so this will be refreshing.

a nice and intelligent man used to come in and hang out til close. he had a physical problem that made getting around hard, and i guess i had a lot of empathy for him. i always thought we were friends, we talked about his cats and stuff. but he believed a little too hardcore for me. told me that he was part of this space thing . . . i don't even want to type it all out. anyways one time he came in drunk and molested me. i was honestly so embarrassed mostly just that i thought we were friends. friends don't do that. anyways i just never made eye contact with him again, although he tried, and told my coworkers to be wary. shit was lame.

In November I saw frnkiero and the celllbration. I remember while waiting in line there were 2 cringe people.

One was a total tumblr fakeboi (there were actually quite a few there, but this one was loud). I remember I had to run to my car to grab my ticket real quick, I said to her "excuse me ma'am" and she went "Sorry but I'm not a girl, try not to misgender people." Like, she had on heavy winged eyeliner and high heels, but I guess the fact she had horribly done thick eyebrows and dyed and fried short hair should have set off something. I said sorry and left it at that. I came back and this bitch was full on ranting about gender and shit, she said she was and I quote "dfab demiboy" and that "assuming gender is as bad as being racist".

Same person also went on a story about how they had a conference at a local con dressed as Party Poison (MCR Killjoys chracter) and how 100 people came. I learned later that there was never any such event, so that was funny. Especially considering how braggy they were about how they were supposedly making people laugh by apparently entering in the room by kicking in the door and saying "sup bitches". Ugh.

Second person was actually a group of people. To their advantage they were all about 12-16, but still. They kept talking really loudly about the Milk fic, which in case no one knows is a really sexual weird fic about Ryan Ross and Brendon Urie from Panic! At the Disco. This wasn't so bad but here's the thing, the youngest one (12 years old) was the one carrying on the convo about this fic while her mom was literally right next to her. To make things worse I was genuinely physically cringing, her mom noticed and came over to me and actually asked what the Milk Fic was. I don't think there was anything worse than telling some 12 year old's mom that her daughter is talking about a fic where a band member gets a milk enema.

now onto some silly stuff.

i've had a woman insist to me that she had a bad chakra. i had another man ask if i could tune his singing bowl to ohm. there was a young man who came in with these very basic and childlike drawings of colored shapes, who told me that they were his plans from a past life to engineer some sort of space station. i'm still not even sure

i had a very old man come in looking for vampire blood, who left confused and dissapointed. i happen to have lip piercings, to which an older sorta redneck customer asked me word for word, "are those your inside lip kissers?"

i watched a man awkwardly place every crytal from a pricier batch on his forehead to find the right one. he closed his eyes and hummed a little.

one that really takes the cake was when one of my coworkers came in hungover and just went and took a nap on the couch in the reading corner. place really was a mess but i did make a friend or two and that was pretty cool

I realize now that I've been in retail too long. Never for a store like the one you used to work in, but my patience for people like this woman you describe is practically nonexistent. I couldn't put up with her for longer than 10 minutes.

I'm really sorry, anon. I don't have anything else to say except that he was an asshole and you're right: friends don't do that type of shit to each other.

Hey, at least the guy trying out crystals knew exactly what he was looking for. Must've been a bit weird, but better for him to find the right one rather than keep coming back for exchanges.

>>67834
So cringe. The demiboy bragging about kicking in a door and saying "sup bitches" makes me roll my eyes, but the thought of a 12yo talking about a fetish fanfic in front of her mom is stomach-churning. Lord, do kids these days have no shame or sense of discretion? I would've been hardpressed to make eye contact with the mom while explaining the reference just from sheer secondhand embarrassment alone. Did the mom look disturbed or only resigned? (God only knows what other things the girl felt comfortable saying in front of her mother…)

The mother actually looked slightly disturbed, but she went "Oh that's all?" It was strange, this girl looked super young. I actually thought she was about 7 until she brought up her age. She also called herself a "meme queen". No joke.

yes indeed had i had bigger cajones i would have been a lot more firm with many of these people. but alas now my cajones are bigger from these experiences haha. and indeed lots of people would try out crystals to find the right one, and honestly it was often super cute, especially with children. it was just a little awkward because i had to monitor the more expensive crystals and i wasn't sure whether i should politely look away or adopt a look of vague interest hehe.

I went to Catholic high school and in Junior religion class I had to "marry" a creepy guy I hated during a unit on the sacrament of marriage. For 2 weeks we had to write endless love letters, write about our plans for our lives together and work on a photo album. My partner took the letters way too seriously and dicked off on all the other work. The third week we had proposals and bachelor/bachelorette parties before saying our vows to each other in front of the class and having our pictures taken. As you can probably imagine, the teacher was single. Apparently none of the other classes had to do all this and no class had to do it after mine.

It was three weeks of horror and I'm mad that I didn't complain about it to the school administration.

Dear lord, This is so terrible anon. Reminds me of something that happened to me when I was maybe 16. My friend linked me an image on messenger (the msn one) and I opened it to load on the background while I continued the chat. Suddenly my dad comes in my room to talk to me about something so I quickly tab the convo down so he wouldn't see my personal conventions, and there was the image right under it. A bondage hentai pic with lots of sperm and tears. I wanted to die right then and now. My dad didn't say anything but to see your 16-year old weeb daughter looking at shit like that and then trying desperately to shut down the monitor must've really made him question some parental choices he has made.

There was this time when my dad almost surprises me watching porn.
Ok so I was like 14 at that time, my parents were at work and I was bored out of my mind so, lets search some motherfucking porn to pass time.
Everything was perfect, the computer of my parents was a fucking toaster but with a little bit of work it could reproduce video, and I was happy, my dad wasn't supposed to get home til night and it was just 4 in the afternoon, what could possibly go wrong rite??
Suddently, the fucking hentai im watching frozes I'm on full screen, the video stopped running but the audio keep playing through my headphones, I try to just ctrl+alt+del but it makes it all worse, now the whole computer frozes, not only the player or the browser, I cant even move the cursor around. Ok, I'm starting to panic, the moans continue on my headphones like a grim reminder that if someone were to barge into the room in that exact moment I could be screwed. I'm just there, thinking what the hell to do when suddently, I heard the front door oppening.
>Anon sweetie, I'm home early today!
HOLY MOTHER OF SWEET JESUS CRISTO.
Don't answer, I'm just screaming inside trying to unfreeze this shit.
>Anon are you on the computer?
As I heard my dad on the stairs I fucking lauch myself from my seat and turn off the monitor just as he enters the office. Japanese moans still going on my headphones as I stood there.
>hey, why is the screen turned off…
Moaning finally stops.
I try to turn on the screen again while dad looks the other way, screen still frozen, cover the screen with my body and reach the back of the tower like a maniac.
>Wait Anon NOOOOO!!!
Quickly flick off/on the switch.
Dad scolds me and tells me that I could have fried the pc.
>aw come on dad what could possibly go wrong just turn it on again I'm done anyway.
Try to turn on the computer again… No reaction.
Towers does a horrible hellish sound.
Oh.
>God damn it Anon!
And that's the story of how I burned my pc's hard disk to cover up my Japanese porn.
I didn't watch porn for years until I got my own laptop 5 years after that.

Parents walking in on that type of shit is the worse. Reminds me of a story of my own.

When I was probably about 6 or 7 I use to go to daycare after school, there was this boy there who was 8 and I had a HUGE crush on him. I use to talk to him and stuff and we would flirt but it was children flirting.

Well, one day he starts talking about making out and stuff. He basically said something like
>When you're married you sleep with your husband naked and it feels good!

SO, being the dumb child I was, I had to try this out. But I had no super close guy friends, let alone ones who would come over to test it out. So that weekend I went in my room, shut the door, took off my clothes, and went under the covers naked. It just felt weird, I remember going "What a rip off!".
I then got up and.
Bam.
Huge shit stain right on my bed. I still don't know what happened. I didn't shit myself or anything. What I'm guessing is I didn't wipe right when I got off the toilet last. What was worse was having to go to my mom and dad and explain that there was a big poop smear stain on my bed without revealing I was naked in bed. So I lied and said I was changing and it happened. I still cringe about this pretty bad here almost 20 years later.

Now at that time I didn't even used a bra, I was fucking ignorant on this my parents never give me any talk and also I was a dramaqueen, so what was my first through?
>I must be dying, theres no other explanation, I'm going to die and this blood and the bellyache is proof of it. I must go to an hospital or start to say my goodbyes.
So I basically go to my grandma (ex titulated nurse) to tell her I'm bleeding out to death that morning to which she just laughs… And tells me the beautiful process of menstruation with full details and statistics and also gave me the talk…

I was a HUGE weeb in high school, and the art room was where I usually was during those years. Well, I got close to the art teacher and he let me and my friend use this thing that would allow us to screen-print shirts. Well, my friend and I thought it would be an excellent idea to put "Come to the dark side, we have Yaoi" on our shirts. I came home that day and mom was asking me what I was gonna put on my shirt since she's fucking nosey. I kept refusing up until she grabbed the paper I had and read it.

Last year I was at a bar with some friends after a festival sort of thing, and we were in a serious party mood. I had a crush on one of my guy friends who is a pretty smart drinker, and never drinks too much. I accidentally drank way too much and asked if I could sit on his lap, to which he said yes. I sat there for at least an hour (I was so drunk that i can only remember bits here and there). I remember farting like crazy against his legs and almost breaking his phone.

A couple of years ago i had a crush on this dude at my school. He was sitting on a couch on the school lobby, and i tried to walk past him very sensually and elegantly, but accidently sharted.

That year my friends also thought it was super hilarious to spook me by jumping in front of me around a corner, because i get startled very easily. I had stomach problems, probably because of dairy, and every time they jumped at me i would make a little fart, so i tried to clench all the time so it wouldn't happen. I was walking with another crush of mine, and was unfocused on my bowel, and someone startled me and i let out a huge smelly one and started crying in embarrasment.

I fucking hate my bowel.

hey there. i learned this move in krav maga, if somebody sneaks up and grabs you from behind, just push your elbows directly back into them. it's gonna cause a world of pain if you do it with great force, but even with slight effort the elbows are pretty pointy. obviously this might not be the best recourse in every situation, but then again it's never cool to make someone uncomfortable like that. that makes me so mad. if you are stuck at a shitty job people oughta be decent about keeping their hands to themselves. you sound awesome! i don't want you to burn out. you have my well wishes kind human

>>68502
yeah two faced just about describes it. i'm sorry you gotta deal with that. i think the main type of manipulation, and maybe the most annoying, was the megalomaniac psychic. this could be pretty extreme sometimes. basically it's when somebody walks into a room and demands to be the center of attention. this is very ala charles manson, the same kind of tactics. if any of these people get the sense that you might be mystified by their psychic powers, or lightworking, or motherfucking reiki mastery, they'll sink their hooks into you and try to draw you into their conversation. as long as they have your attention, as long as they can keep you locked into their mysterious universal mystery tangents, they feel powerful, and they get off on it.

the best way for me at least to tell if someone is genuine, is if they keep their mouth shut about. real magic practitioners know that secrecy brings a lot of power, so anybody spouting off about sensing this and that is most likely a fraud.

there was a group of people who used to come in whom i feel to be legitimate psychic vampires. this sounds cooler than it is, it's basically a bunch of creeps who get chubbs from freaking people out. if you are into this stuff at all, and if it worries you that someone might be messing with you, just put up a light of protection when you go out and take it down at night, use a different one for sleep if you are dealing with bad dreams. i did this at work, i went on vacation for a week and two of my friend at work called and told me that the psy vamps were getting really bad. it's the first time i ever realized that shielding was useful.

a lot of new agers as well try to go the LOVE LIGHT POSITIVITY route, i remember this girl literally covering her ears to not hear another girl talking shit, i mean yeah don't dwell on the negative but when you deny the 'darker' things that behavior just kind of gives it more power. i believe the place i worked at would have been in better shape if people practiced what they preached, more or less. all these stoned motherfuckers trying to be namaste all while ignoring that if you DO believe in love and light and magic, there's another side to that coin, and it might be good to put up some spiritual protection and stop trying to make everything fit into this divine feminine hugbox. there's a lot of repressed sadness, anger, emotional/physical/eating disorders, and people try to cover it up with new age instead of dealing with it and admitting something is wrong. this can draw people in as well, i don't think it's as insidious as the former tactic of i'm-a-psychic in regards to its effect on others, but i have seen more than one person crack under the pressure of trying to fit into the sun loving hippie dippie reiki yogi extraordinairre. it's like a full on personality break.

so those are the things i would watch out for - if someone acts like they have some secret spiritual knowledge of the universe, or some unique special psychic gift, and if they lord it everywhere to get attention, and try to pull people into their dramas, this is bad. good thing is, only one of these people can usually exist in a group, because there's not enough attention to go around. the other thing is that the peace love light hippies are usually more fucked up than anybody, though do a good job of masking it, and they will either fall apart trying to keep up the facade or try to integrate it more healthily - although this will be rare if they are in a group of other love light-ers. also, never trust a self proclaimed lightworker, and never meditate with a stranger or let an untrusted person perform energy work on you

it's sad that so many unbalanced people have infiltrated what should be so pure on the surface, but alas, it happens to everything. just trust your instincts, stay away from drama and it will be fine. enjoy yourself anon, oakland sounds wild

man, that shit sounds familiar.
I used to live in a community house which served as a hub for similar types of individuals.
On the upside, I got to meet some really great folks, but also I had to watch the place fall to pieces after we let one individual in particular live there. she was one of those types who considers herself a 'mother goddess' and very 'in touch with nature' but also was a complete psychic vampire. tbh her husband was way more legit than she will ever be, but she rode his coattails and people let her get away with it because they respected him so much. mostly her 'powers' manifested in pretending to be important/knowledgeable so that she could wind people around her little finger, and and also pitching screaming, physically violent tantrums whenever she didn't get her way and then chalking it up to her 'natural dominance'.
in the end, despite claiming the title of 'house mother' for as long as she lived there, she ended up being directly responsible for the collapse. apparently she thought that she could just withhold the rent everyone was paying from the landlord for months at a time and nobody would notice or give a shit.
oh, and she once tried to cure someone else's (one of her fucking stupid peons) dog who was dying of heatstroke by meditating over it with crystals. she told the owner that they shouldn't take it to the vet because she legitimately thought she could cure it like that. the dog died. her own dog suffered from a severe skin condition that she also refused to treat because she believed that the pharmaceutical/medical industry was a huge misinformation scam perpetuated by the government.

say what you want about light of protection and psychic shields and stuff, but whenever I encounter people like this, I reckon that the only way to avoid getting caught in the crossfire is to get the hell away. luckily my intuition is pretty on point and I literally moved out/escaped like two weeks before the whole situation detonated. it breaks my heart, though, because I still remember what the community was like (honestly fucking amazing) before she moved in.

No. 68614

>>68604
oh shit anon that's really sad about the dogs. it's one thing for people to forgo treatment for whatever reason but that is so wrong in relation to pets because animals don't have the means to decide for themselves.

that's unfortunate too that things were really nice before they went bad. i can imagine that situation being really pleasant with trustworthy people. the woman you are describing sounds a lot like my ex boss's current wife, probs not so terrible but she definitely rode his coattails as far as he was pretty respected in the community, and she had this weird culty following from her reiki practice. he wasn't really too into the business aspect anyways, that was more his ex-wife's domain, so this new chick pretty much distracted him into running the business into the ground so she could move to new york and have a new age talk show. yeah guess what happened to that idea haha. as far as i know they are both jobless, aside from her doing these weird youtube body confidence videos. she was also a spokesperson for this 'organic e-cig' company in the meantime, then she said they were racist and "almost completely destroyed her" bla bla bla. more likely they just wouldn't put up with her BS.

i was really torn between quitting and not because the conditions sucked, but there were a few sweet customers and a couple of coworkers whom i cared for, so i started using psychic shields and i guess they helped me deal with it on some level. i do wish i had gotten the hell away though, you are spot on about that being the best way to deal with people like that - and i'm glad you listened to your intuition. i wish i had done the same. once i started to feel unsafe i just ignored it for a variety of reasons, bad move. i too had a really nice experience there before things got weird. tried to stick out til the bitter end but once my boss started scheduling his wife because literally everyone else kept quitting, i quit too.

This reminds me of a similar story. I was maybe 12 years old first discovering ~animu~ on my first laptop. I was watching soul eater with the laptop facing away from my room's door completely exposed to anyone who would have walked in. So suddenly a fanservice bathhouse scene springs out of nowhere and I think the same thing, "if someone walked in right now I wouldn't be allowed to watch anime anymore" and then BAM grandmother walks into the room. Full panic mode, shut down the laptop and ask what's up grandma. Grandma is suspicious and asks what I was doing. I say nothing. She looks at me funny and walks away. Years later I now realize she probably thought I was watching porn or something, and oh my god the cringe I feel. I just wanted my animus…

Urgh, I had a 'friend' like this. Obese, greasy, oversexed, stinky. I started hanging out with her at the beginning of secondary school because we were next to each other in the register so often had to sit next to each other. Pretty soon I figured out how gross she was, and she was also really bitchy to me. So I stopped hanging out with her, and one day I get pulled into the head of lower school's office. Apparently I was bullying her because she was partially deaf. The teacher then made me put my fingers in my ears to 'experience being her'.

Ugh, back in the day there was this 8th grader that used to hang out with my group when we were on last year.
We were a bunch of loud nerds, and since nobody liked the kid back on his class, including their nerds, one day he just decided to "befriend" us since we used to chill on the stairs near his class.
He was hyperactive and annoying, simply as that, if i had to describe him, he was the live image of a CoD kid, the one who shrieks into the microphone and cusses like a sailor, he was almost 13 but looked and sounded like a 9 year old, but even if he was ball bursting annoying, we were pussies and no one wanted to hurt his feelings by telling him to fuck off, also it was our last year before graduation, we could stand him for a little more.
The problem started when Lil bitch discovered fucking 4chan a the creepypasta wiki. He became the definition of a summerfag when he came back, motherfucker couldn't shut up about Le meems and screaming normalfags to anyone who wanted him to shut up already. Hanging out with him became a nightmare after that. Mostly when he discovered /pol/ and the tinfoil hat landed on his head.
He Coul go hours rambling about degenerates and jews and the 9/11.
We finally managed to get rid of him when a bully from his class beated him to a pulp after he made an Holocaust joke (he was Jew and there was a rumor that his great great great Grandpa died horribly in the war and shit)
Sometimes I wonder if he ever got over the edgelord phase. Sometimes I wonder if they ever stoped calling him Timmy Turner. I wonder if they managed to save his eye.

Is not the first time, it happened before when I was a weeb teen, where I drew some bizarre yaoi shit too, and she just kind of shrug it up??
I don't know what kind of reaction to expect from her really, but knowing how volatile she is, it disturbs me her lack of emotion when she sees shit like that on my room.
I'm happy that she doesn't try to rumage thru my drawers anymore. Really i don't want her to discover the dildo I have hidden between my art supplies (dildo that also came to my possession under bizarre conditions… my grandma give it to me, yeah)

the weird thing is that the elder one would sexualize male idols in small quantities before she met the girl, but she wasn't teetering on the boundaries of sexual harassment by doing it. back then she had self awareness and she did not go too far. the last few months the horniness took over her fucking braincells.

it's more concerning that the other girl became so deeply ingrained into the koreaboo shit and was able to drag a grown woman down with her. I had a cringey kboo phase but nothing ever like this and I certainly never would've been like this a year or two ago when I was the same age as my friend who got dragged into it is currently.

In 8th grade, I was walking with a friend and a boy I had liked. She told him to man up and confirm or deny whether or not he liked me back. I proceeded to then sperg out and essentially launch her multiple feet into the lockers with a hip bump that came from all of my young teenage autism. She got a lot of bruises and had to tell her mom that she got into a fight with a boy and kicked his ass. I still feel bad about it 7 years later.

I'd become more distanced from using the groupchat because I was dealing with real life stuff. Since it was a larger chat with people beyond the kboos, the activity gave me the ability to scroll down past the bullshit and just leap into other conversations about things completely unrelated to the kboo sperging.

Then the sperging became more frequent, longer, and weirder. Less avoidable. Sometimes I noticed in DM's my friend was getting worse, but I didn't have the gall to be direct about how uncomfortable it made me except in the group setting, and that irked her and the other kboo. In DM's I made it clear with my wording however, without saying "that's gross", I was disinterested in her shoving a moid's fancam in my face.

They accused me of gatekeeping them and their interests and of being prudish, unaccepting. Ironically they'd told me in the past to stop talking about interests of mine, including my own celebrity crush, or purposely ignored things I had to say because "nobody cares"?

All they'd said was far more fetishy, blatant, and grossly objectifying than a word that'd come out of me. It's like we no longer had any mutual interests anymore, when I tried to show my friend one of her favorite girl groups new releases, she brushed it off and declared the song crap.

There used the be an ability to diversify. talk about the musical aspects, song recommendations, criticism and commentary on the industry, girl groups, and a variety of things, not just mediocre moids with shit tier music. It became 90% about mediocre moids with shit tier music and then sperging about Kingdom or whatever the fucking moid survival show was.

Some of the childhood cringe stories upthread inspired me to write out my own
>be me, age 9
>super interested in anything paranormal
>one day, when on holiday at my grandma's house find a stash of her husband's old paranormal magazines
>must be about 30+ of them, it's amazing
>"you can take them home with you anon"
>read the mags like nobody's business, learn about all sorts of freaky stuff like shadow people, telekinesis and hollow earth
>shit's cool
>what's less cool is that I'm starting to experience night terrors about some of that stuff
>the most terrifying thing of all is alien abduction, basically a very real danger and a fate worse than death in my 9 year old mind
>still fascinated though, spend a lot of nights thinking about it
>fast forward about two weeks
>dad takes us out for ice cream after dinner one Sunday
>it's Autumn so it's already dark and foggy outside when we leave the ice cream place
>turn the corner, suddenly out of nowhere there's a large, bright, oval shaped light hovering in the fog right above us
>enter a split second panic mode, literally the most visceral fear I've ever experienced
>"oh my god there's an ufo here, they're going to experiment on me and kill me"
>SCREAM and piss my goddamn pants
>my parents stare at me in shock
>it's a streetlamp
>mfw the next day my mom took away all of my cool paranormal magazines and put them in the trash

Despite everything I'm happy to say I'm still very interested in ufos and the paranormal, which honestly might be a bit cringy in itself, but there's something weirdly comforting and nostalgic about it.

aw im the same, my paranormal interest didnt come till a little later (11/12) but i had had a horrible fear of aliens and government agencies (i live in a 5eyes country) which i think is why i was so fascinated by /x/ and stuff. i had a horror of chupacabras eating my pets too! and i also still get ridiculed by my family to this day lol.

> "anon i was going through stuff in your room…"

> starts basically asking me if i'd been molested, tells me she's giving my computer to the cops because she thinks im being groomed
> punctuates this with awkward reassurance that its "ok if [im] gay"
> cried basically the entire walk out of pure embarrassment

in hindisght the story actually just shows how much my mom cared about me i suppose. i wasn't being groomed (personally, there's an argument to be made that my general internet use and transient interactions "groomed" me in a way…) and i got my computer back a few days after i got out of the psych ward. but man i just have like the vivid memory of her being like "i found some stuff you wrote and drew…" and just instantly shrivelling up and dying inside lmao

In my youth I was depressed and hid my body a lot, I had short hair and wore baggy clothes. No makeup. Our class went to see the capital city for our grade 8 graduation trip, on the way back we stopped at a fast food place. There was an old man behind me in the line and the cashier assumed I was his son. Once I got my food, I tried to pay, but I realized the old guy was paying for my meal. The cashier realized his mistake and separated our orders, the old guy was talking to me the entire time and he also thought I was a boy. he was saying shit like "I would've bought that meal for you if you were really my son!" and clapping me on the back. I didn't want to correct them because it was already too late and it wouldn't make me any less embarrassed. We were holding up the entire fucking line. I spoke as little as possible, and thankfully they didn't realize anything. By the time I got my food it was already time to go back to the bus, I had to throw my drink out and ended up spilling the sauce on my legs trying to eat my chicken strips. The end.

You reminded me of when my Mom found out that I looked at porn because one day I guess I had Pornhub just in the address bar, but not entered in. Then she dug around in the Internet history and found some kind of Adult Friend Finder thing that I must have accidentally clicked an ad for and assumed that I was talking with old men on line and for some reason thought that the next day I would text them about it, but didn't take my cellphone away, so if I was being groomed, I pretty much could have still stayed in contact with them. Then she wanted to know if I'd been molested by this one creepy "friend of the family" who was bi-sexual and turned out to be addicted to crack cocaine. One week he and I were alone while my mom and step-father did something out of state and he didn't molest me or anything, but seriously what the fuck. Then my Mom looked at some more of my Internet history and thankfully didn't find any of the weird porn I was looking at, but did find my Google Images searches where I Googled all kinds of random crap to see what would turn up. Of course she only looked at the ones that said edgy stuff like "hate" or "sadness" or "depression," but they weren't all edgy, I swear! That was a bad time.

Okay.. let's open up the cringe floodgates. I was obsessed with this kid in my class, from elementary school until maybe the 6th grade. Like Helga Pataki style. Thinking about it now, it was probably because of some stuff that happened when I was younger that made me want to latch onto a male romantic partner and essentially play house. But I was so goddamn creepy and cringe that it physically hurts to recall it.
>left him a note on his desk saying "Do you like me? y / n? from your secret admirer" and he immediately came up to my desk and was like "Did you give me this note" and I said "No" and he just put it back on my desk, unmarked
>a year later, I was drawing shit during class. I worked on it the entire time and then put it on his area of the worktable. My bitch teacher immediately called me out in front of the entire class and is like "This is not a productive use of class time" and held it up and showed all the other kids. It was some Pokemon shit drawn in pencil.
>invited him over to my house and tried to get him to watch professional wrestling and a Slipknot music video. He didn't want to watch it but I was like, come on. Then my little brother ran up to him and farted ONTO him. He called his mom and left soon after.
>one time, during a field trip that my mom was chaperoning, I had a pink welt on my face. I had spent the night before viciously scrubbing at acne or a bug bite or something, until it was raw, making it look worse. Why did I do it? To have a better chance with the boy I was obsessed with. The next day, he saw me in the hallway and said "What happened to your face?" and my MOM replied "oh, yeah, she did it for some boy" and rolled her eyes.
I'm sure there are some other memories that I've blocked out. I found other boys to be interested in, so I accepted that there wasn't anything I could do to make this boy interested in me and moved on. I also started to develop a strong sense of shame, thankfully.

I was also incredibly cringe on my own, even after

My friend group in high school were a bunch of turbo autists (me included). They once roped me into doing a Lord of the Rings script table read. I loved the movies but dear lord that was the most boring shit ever. I had to be Gandalf or Pippin or something like that because everyone else wanted to be their husbandos.

One of my friends was seriously in love with Jack Sparrow. She wrote this isekai self-insert fanfic where she meets him on the PotC ride at Disneyland and he takes her away to go be a pirate with him and go on adventures. This same friend tried to shame the rest of us for having crushes on anime characters, even after making us read her fanfic (pic is related because I feel like she would've hated it). She was also super into Monty Python and Doctor Who and started a British tv appreciation club at our school.

Another friend told everyone that she had been impregnated by a demon in her sleep and that she was really pregnant and going to have a demon baby. She obviously wasn't. The rest of us had a sleepover without her and prank called her boyfriend pretending to be satan and telling him he got cucked and should break up with her. We wanted this dude out of our friend group because he was a massive attention whore. He did shit like wearing an inflatable sumo suit to school (not on halloween) or dragging around a mattress and offering to give people massages on it. They really deserved each other.

The real cringe was when I fell out with these friends and started hanging out with my nerdy guy friends more. They wanted to watch amv hell 0 and other hentai shit with me and I did it to prove that I'm a cool girl who can hang with the guys. Most of them perved on me, even the ones with girlfriends, and I laughed it off every time.
The real cringe was that I didn't love myself. I had to learn that later.

He finally just stopped and looked at me confused and I was mortified, like why the fuck did I just do that? I then lusted insanely after a different boy who sat in front of me in class and ignored me. One day he passed me a note with his phone number on it and I instantly got the ick, said “Eww!” and threw it in the trash. He went back to ignoring me after that.

It was all so fucking stupid, I remember entire drama sagas and journal entries she'd have around these guys and her imaginary relationships with them.

I'm dying from cringe just typing it, even though it was 13 years ago.
State exams for admission to university, each at the new school with a new set of highschoolers. I recognized one guy and it seemed like he was approaching me to give low high five or something (I was sitting at the desk). Of course he wasn't approaching me, why would he? We never talked. Still I got my hand ready. No one even probably noticed but I got embarrassed and said something that had to justify my mistake, like, hey, last time we were together in class… or something like that. Still, no reaction from anyone, they probably just thought I was weird. I don't even know how to explain it, but as a child I'd often be in the situations where you had to know how to respond to certain things in a "correct way" by default and if you didn't you were shamed for it and kind of ostracized. It didn't make me behave like that in any such situation but I was probably just anxious before the exam and it made me overthink things. Quite rarely, but I can sometimes jump to the weirdest interpretations and conclusions.

Thinking about the time I wore a cosplay to high school on Halloween since we were allowed to wear a costume if we wanted. For some reason I decided to wear my only cosplay that was of a male anime character complete with a wig, circle lenses, and the famous concealer lips that were popular at the time.

>tried using pick-up lines I learned from watching Ouran on my first girlfriend. She broke up with me for being too weird

>wore a nyan cat t shirt, fluffy cat ear hat with mittens attached and invader zim plush bag almost every day. I would put the gir plush in an empty chair and ask the teacher to give him a worksheet too
>did an eren/levi cosplay with a girl I liked, she shipped them so I convinced her to take flirty cosplay photos and do the pocky game with me where we "accidentally" ended up kissing (I genuinely feel so bad about this one)

>turned in a MMD video of miku dancing to senbonzakura for a final, told the teacher I made the model and background myself (I did not)
>got bullied by the popular girls, not too bad but they would laugh at me for being weird and shy and ask me where I got my clothes. I didn't mind because I thought they were pretty and I was blessed that they were talking to me also one day they cornered me in the locker room and one of them slapped my ass???

When I was in middle school someone asked me to draw a yaoi picture for them and told me they would pay me for it; I ended up drawing them a picture of two anime guys sixtynine-ing because it's what they asked for and the first time I decide to ever put my name on a drawing, they ended up losing it in the hall and a teacher found it.
The embarrassment I went through when all my teachers ended up seeing the picture and I got called to the office and cried my eyes out begging them not to call my mom, it was not worth the one dollar I got paid.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm aspie or something because this happened to me a lot in my youth. I feel like I was constantly embarrassed, like somehow everyone else just "got it" and yet I always replied in a weird or 'wrong' way, or acted awkward without even realizing it. Like I "missed the memo" in life or something

AYRT, I feel like worrying this much about how others perceive you is just learned behavior, anxiety and low self-esteem as a result of dealing with toxic and/or dumb people as a child and/or a teen.
In my case, I was often left with other adults and older children almost every summer and some of them, as I understood way later, weren't particularly happy about it for different reasons. Some would nitpick my behavior and misinterpret my words and actions, some (very often) would make fun of me and imply that I'm slow for not laughing at some of their jokes that I probably just didn't find funny or not understanding sarcasm (because I was simply too young). As a child, you mostly believe others' perceptions of you, you want to be accepted, you don't understand motivations behind such an attitude so you think you really are a problem. So you adapt and cope in your own way, but this feeling of inadequacy stays with you and solidifies with each similar experience, toxic friendship, etc.
I think introverted, reserved, not very emotional or affectionate children especially often become a target of such treatment because they make other, even much older, people uncomfortable if those are insecure and lack self awareness (which is not a rarity). If you were like that as a child you probably encountered people that were kinda weirdly hostile to you for no reason and some of them would pathologize your (completely normal) personality. I guess people get uncomfortable because they don't understand how you feel about them (you're not all bubbly or something) so they start projecting and getting angry you made them feel this way. It doesn't happen only to children though, it's just that the younger you are, the less ceremonious many other people are likely to be with you.

In reality, most people aren't queens or kings of charisma and no reasonable person would expect you to be one, a lot of people can act (and feel) awkward sometimes, misunderstand each other, etc. I think it's natural not to "get" certain things instantly, because people are different and some can be just too random or downright weird/inappropriate. You just learn to focus too much on yourself because you're kind of used to thinking your "survival" depends on this "correct" response or reaction. But you don't actually have to respond or react in a way that might be expected from you and someone else's expectations shouldn't even concern you.
I'm only talking from my experience of course. I just sometimes think about it when I read autism/ADHD thread for example. If there're no other symptoms that you really struggle with in your day-to-day life, I believe it's self-consciousness and anxiety instilled by surrounding people at a young age.

I was insanely socially awkward in middle school holy shit. It was a really small class size of rich athletic religious kids mostly and I did not fit in with my class at all.
>Was the very stereotypical autistic girl obsessed with books and Warrior cats
>Obsessed with cats in general, would constantly talk about my cat.
>Read basically every book in the science section and the only social outings I went to were geology conventions and small shops mostly populated by older men and women who were engineers/geologists/whatnot.
>If I wasn't talking about or reading Warriors, I would literally not shut the fuck up about rocks and geology.
>Got really into drawing furry cat people and would make cringy cat ocs.
>Started hanging out with fellow middle school furries in the grade below mine. Mostly other weird nerdy girls like me.
>Was a big art snob and thought I was hot shit because I 'shaded' my artwork. The so-called 'shading' was really just me smudging charcoal inside the lines.
>Other girls also thought I was hot shit because we were dumb kids and didn't realize my art was ugly as fuck. I would get commissioned to draw their 'fursonas' in exchange for chocolate at lunch.
>Got caught drawing one girl's fursona in the middle of science class and the science teacher whom I really respected and looked up to called me out in the middle of class and gently scolded me for not paying attention.
>Would play Minecraft religiously, even owned a tiny server, which once again, I thought made me hot shit.
>Publicly posted my fugly furry art for real human people to see, with my name attached.
>Followed a bunch of popular furry people, but miraculously evaded being traumatized. Probably because all these youtubers and artists happened to be female.
>Made edgy self-insert anime ocs with unbelievably retarded names. Got seen drawing one by the principal and he just looked at it and made an amused comment about her name.
>Really into coding because I liked vidya and wanted to learn how to make vidya. Wasn't very good at it.
>Joined a 'coding club' started by this really tiny boy in our cringy furry group. Was actually really fun.
>Barely even did any coding, just used scratch and made basic building block stuff, or just hung out and played vidya with the other kids.
>Principal fucking hated us and would hang around and try to bully our club leader to tears.
Middle school was literally the cringiest period of my life, but also with the cringe comes some of the nicer memories. I definitely don't want to downplay the fact that I was kind of a little shit with a smug sense of superiority a lot of the time. Thank god I didn't watch any anime until high school.

The other time was when I was at the market (with books, stationery, etc.) with my mom, we were walking through the rows buying stuff for school and I noticed a guy watching a Slipknot music video on a computer - he was selling audio cds. Naturally, my first instinst was to obnoxiously growl SLIIIPKNOOOOT and run to the guy. Some people turned and watched, the guy didn't really react, he was a bit surprised I guess but he kept a straight face and then turned on two other videos, by Mushroomhead and Static-X.

I had a friend who used to unironically call her mom "okaasan" in Japanese even as an older teen at like 18-19 (lost contact after that). She'd randomly insert japanese words like that - yet amazingly she had no idea what a weeb was or that they even existed. She'd also use a lot of English (we are Scandinavian) because she thought it made her sound smart and educated, even though we're all obviously native speakers of the same language.

She would swim topless in front of her older (adult) brothers at this age, they were both studying to become doctors so it was excused as "they're professional adult doctors learning about anatomy, it's not weird at all". (This practice started in her teens post puberty, she didn't do it as a kid). I was there too when this happened, so there was no embarrassment from the family about others seeing it. No "honey maybe put on a top in case strangers come to this public beach" from the parents or anything.
I'm fairly sure part of it was the fact that she was getting trans-adjacent at the time in how she identified, so she wanted to be "one of the boys" by going topless. This very obviously came from her not being conventionally attractive and overweight, she previously loved feminine cute things and bought a cute dress to motivate her to lose weight etc. She told a mutual friend she felt non-binary so I heard it from her, but I lost contact after that so I don't know how it escalated.

I also watched uncomfortable things such as her brother putting his hand on her thigh while in a sofa and her raising an eyebrow going "WHERE are you putting your hand now?" because it was so close to her crotch, and that made both of them laugh (he didn't move his hand from that comment). I also saw her other (again, adult studying to become a doctor) older brother wake up from a nap, laughing at the fact that he had morning wood for the first time in a while, and getting up and to show his dad, you know as a "fun thing". I was a guest and I witnessed these things, so again - this family thought these incesty things were normal.

She wasn't even an autist or anything even though she kinda sounds like it when I describe these things, I think her family was just kind of… weird and incesty, and then the trans cult getting hold of her making it worse.

>mum starts talking about trying HRT for the menopause
>joke that she'll get put on horse pills like trannies do
>she didn't know about the horse piss pills
>explain to her that I'm pretty sure they're not even that common anymore; doesn't matter, she's now obsessed about not being put on them
>tell her to just ask the doctor what's the name of what they're giving her, so long as it's not premarin she's good
>the moment the doctor talks about HRT she pipes up about not being given "piss pills for transes"
No wonder I'm so fucking dumb. It must be in our genetics.

Reminds me of the time in middle school when I did an entire presentation in french on One Direction complete with a hand illustrated poster with information about them and doodles like picrel. I thank god everyday social media and smartphones weren't a big thing when I was that age so my autism-fuelled antics weren't immortalized on the internet kek I also had Twilight as a special interest for a few years and tried so hard to dress like Alice and wore Jacob Black t-shirts for gym class

This is actually so cute. I always wonder what teachers are thinking when they're faced with this level of autism. Or are they used to it? Is it a topic in the teacher room during breaks? kek

Nona this is so cute and well-compositioned! Your teacher must've been charmed by your sincerity and effort. I'm glad that your child self let herself have fun without worrying about cringe!

My LinkedIn account is completely locked down so I made an EXTREMELY weird post with a seemingly schizophrenic-tier all-caps mantra at the top to motivate myself every time I looked at LinkedIn and it said 30 people saw it somehow. God help me.
