Your dark history on the Internet

[minacia]

Cuteness is justice!

Actually, it’s way too embarrassing.

I don’t know how people manage to act cute.

In Chinese, there’s a term known as sajiao (撒娇), which is like disgustingly cute.

In your opinion, what’s the difference between cute and disgustingly cute?

I was thinking about this, and then I recalled my younger self and embarrassing things I once did on the internet. For instance, back in the day that everything I said ended with a nyaaaaaaaaaaa and glomped everyone that was glomp-able.

There was also a period in middle school when I added random z’s to things like lolz that’s so coolz you’re so funnyz :DD

Um... there’s a lot worse stuff too, I almost got married to someone on a forum... but then I ran away lol. Also when I used to flirt!!!!! Flirting is mortifying!!!

What kind of things in your past on Internet are particularly embarrassing or cringeworthy?

And why do you think you changed or outgrew it?

Oh, I have another one.

The first time I finished NaNoWriMo, I was eighteen. I realized midway through that I was basically writing a self-insert story with my XXX fantasies basically leaking out of the paper and barely concealed. I didn’t even mean to.

A lot of people knew I was writing NaNoWriMo at the time and asked to read my story.... but there was no way I could show it...

Disgustingly cute is trying too hard to be cute. For me, you can't force it, either you seem 'cute' to some people, or you're not.

As a child, I remember playing a game and owning it, then someone approached me and asked to be my romantic partner. I freezed and got shocked - then phew....! I never quit a game more exhiliratedly anxious than that.

I...I disguised myself as a girl and played around with my friends. One even confessed to 'me'.

"THE HORROR!" I exclaimed calmly.

As for me I just stayed away from chatting with random people on the internet till now as I had this weird idea that the internet only had trolls and catfishers. And I'm mature enough NOW to not do something that makes me cringe, not that I haven't done something cringeworthy irl.

Agreed sometimes people can tell if you are faking and it weirds them out. Speaking from personal experience.

I posed as cheese then I got the Italian Experience. To the point that an Italian Organization reached out to me. As well as other buyers wanting to buy my so-called "Cheese". I turned them down but the whole experience was cringeworthy for me.

I also used to scam users in a certain MMO. It was the first time I got the permabanned experience.

I dunno i prolly do have cringey shit but I dont really give a damn about it. I say offensive and controversial things all the time. I'm not afraid of something I said being dug up. I'm a troll anyway yo. You wouldnt be able to use anything I said online in the past against me, at least. I wouldnt care lol.

 

[OkuraTsukiko]

You know those games where you can get married to another player? Yeah, now looking back it's quite cringeworthy and tbh straight to hell embarrassing...

Basically, I wanted to be a couple so bad that I forced every guy player that I meet to get straight to the wedding. It is a shameful deed, and I can't remember why my brain thinks its the best thing to do. Now I go solo in most games, independence all the way

*deep italian-accent voice* "Hey. Hey you. Yeah you. You got cheese?"
lmao

That reminds me, my late uncle (r.i.p) was an old hand at games. I asked him why he kept using female characters.
He then told me that he used female characters so that he could get 'gifts' from his 'admirers'.
Talk about scamming hahahaha

Goddamn your uncle was a catfish. Lol.

 

[Laeyioun]

Goddamn your uncle was a catfish. Lol.

That he was, if he ever felt like it.
He probably hooked in those poor fellas using his pro gaming skills.

Me and my brother played dota on a public game and i didn't realize my name was kinda feminine at that time so most players assumed that i was a girl. It doesn't help that i'm usually the type to support people and give out positive help even if we were about to lose. So, after the game and me and my brother were about to play another, one guy message me, and wants to be friends. Since my brother and i think that it was just usual(since we usually friended random strangers) i accepted and we sometimes played with this random player.

Then, it gets personal and he slowly goes towards my personal space.

"What food do you like? Do you watch movies? You watch anime?"

At first, i thought it was just a nice gesture since maybe he wanted to be true friends and bros(also i'm a loner with the lack of social experience) so i responded favorably and nicely while also trying to be pleasant to talk to.

Then he gets way too personal, as in asking for my phone number, my age and so forth. My brother who had been gone to the bathroom that time came back and saw the message and was laughing while trying to steer the hint as to why he was laighing and wanted to continue the chaos.

I was getting more and more confuse while trying my best to understand this person until he finally made me understand what made him say those lines.

"Your pretty fun to hang out Girl, if you have time, wanna go out?"

Your pretty fun to hang out girl.....

Your pretty fun to hang out GIRL.

GIRL....

Oh fck..... *Insert me being confused to absolute disgust.exe*

Once i said Girl in my mouth, my brother starting to laugh his ass out while everyone turn towards us as they look at my brother dying of laughter and me facepalming from the embarrassment.

I then began to reply that i'm actually a guy which made him shocked but he was a bit persistent that i was just lying to him that i didn't want to go out with him until we played a game and use voice chat.

It would had ended there but.....

What kind of things in your past on Internet are particularly embarrassing or cringeworthy?

Nothing. I cleared my browsing history frequently.

You’re no fun

 

[BenJepheneT]

I haven't felt embarrassed for much things I've done on the internet.

Which means I'm still in my cringe phase.

Keep your eyes peeled people; you're watching history unfold.

 

[Leti]

My existence is already cringeworthy by itself. I'm the nails on a chalkboard. I convinced someone to delete their System32.
