Nope, you were just way more annoying than you generally care to remember. Sorry you had to find out this way.

If you say, “but actually I wasn’t annoying as a teenager.” Sorry, you missed your chance! Not my problem!

    I was an insufferable ass. I was too cool for everything. I was counter-culture, but that got too cool so I became counter-counter-culture. When that was too cool I basically just booked myself down to one niche interest.

    I missed out on so much actually cool shit because I was so insufferable.

      Yeah that kinda happens. I was counter culture, but not because I wanted some niche interest, but because I ended up on the fringes at middle/high school (grades 8-12), as the closeted gay/bisexual kid on a scholarship/bursary at some elite all boys boarding school. So I just embraced being on the outs and being a punk. Definitely missed out on some stuff because of it.

        I was the poorest nerdy kid at a poor “sports are life” school, so not on your level of fringe but I definitely get where you’re coming from. I just kept leaning harder into it.

        I hope you’re doing awesome and catching up on some cool shit, friend.
