Something from your childhood you don't miss.

[Harwoof]

We have a thread for things we miss from childhood, reading that thread a lot of things I definitely don't miss from my childhood also popped up in my mind so thought we should have a thread for that.

I will go first-
My family wasn't financially well off, my family had no lack of love but lack of money was felt every day, we had to make perfect use of every cent so to speak, definitely don't miss that aspect of my childhood.
The country I am from school life can be very hectic and this is despite the fact I was a good student, as an adult I still have literal nightmares about my school life and when I wake up relief washes over thank God I am not in school anymore.

My meekness, suffered from separation anxiety and wasn't til I was in my late teens I got over it. Caused me a lot of trouble and missing out on the "standard" experiences

My fairly indifferent view towards certain social issues/things.

I'd argue that kids are the cruelest.If you think about it,they don't have empathy and compassion fully developed (and learned) yet.And if they don't have a capable parent figure to teach them "right" from "wrong",they will most likely turn out to be a problematic individual later on...Among other stuff.

I used to look at strays with indifference,at a homeless person/drug addict on the street the same way too.Now I look at such stuff and I feel a slight pain in my chest.I like to think it was little me not fully understanding what was going on in the background.And what the hardships of life fully entail of.Lost in my own innocence...and ignorance.

But understanding others is the key towards understanding ourselves.And I find knowing thyself quite an invaluable well of insight.

Not much has changed. I loved my own peace and my own company then and I still do now. I got bullied then and even now I have other haters turning people against me. People I considered my friends. I have a select few friends now. Recently a friend we treated as one of us decided to suddenly ghost us when we have been nothing but kind to her. Cant force someone to be friends with u. Life goes on with or without those u care about because they don’t care about u just as much. I can’t even post in com server anymore coz theres always people trying to make sure no one can read or see my posts coz they immediately fill up the chat with random conversation. I lost my wife who was much loved in com in her own right and afterwards our so called friends are still saying she either never existed or Im faking her death.Ive got more people blocked because of harassment in dms than for any other reason. Sorry to rant.

I am glad you could use this thread to vent brother, your present was my past 4 or so years ago, except my wife didn't pass away but did something much much worse.

You are also right we can't change how pos friends or colleagues feel or treat us, what we can do is change our own outlook, distance ourselves from bad company, look for other avenues/friends/environment if current one feels stifling.

Stay strong brother life and struggle goes hand in hand.
