I'm disgusting and I'm sorry and I was such an idiot for thinking the question was a good one. i was just trying to do what I wish someone had done to me but people don't want that and im genuinely sorry for this thread and feel free to block me

I wish someone told me to stop liking the cringy things I liked as a kid because they were so awful and I feel horrible every time I think of how I liked them and how long I did so. if I had been called out on liking those things as a kid then I'd stop that interest which would lead to me maturing quicker, and I wouldn't make a fool of myself as much as I did. It's better for kids this way. I don't want them to regret liking the things they do now in the future

I don't want them to regret liking the things they do now in the future not to like insert myself into a conversation rudely. but what's the problem w liking cringe-y things as a kid? literally everyone did. that's part of being a kid tbh. kids just like what they like and if it doesn't cause any harm to anyone, what does it matter? i Loved pokemon and naruto and his dark materials and animorphs and yu-gi-oh and digimon as a kid (ok i still like hdm and animorphs and pokemon But). someone else might consider it cringe-y but it's what i liked and it was harmless fun.

I don't want them to regret liking the things they do now in the future being a stranger on the internet making fun of children for the interests doesn't make them mature any faster. it just hurts them and it just makes you a rude bully lol (: just because you have regrets about interests you used to have doesn't mean everybody else has to. some of them might grow up and think fondly of their times playing with there littlest pet shops. i know i do. and i will fully admit that. i still have all my webkinz sitting on a noticeable shelf. i have a bunch of pokemon figurines. i have a whole shelf dedicated to paw patrol merch lol. i don't regret any of those things. how abt you just let kids be kids and enjoy what they enjoy and let them enjoy things that are intended for them,

concept: literally everyone grows up to regret things they said/did/liked as a child. like, that's what childhood is about- making mistakes and doing dumb things and learning lessons and ENJOYING YOURSELF before you have to deal with reality.
if anything, direct your (imo unnecessary) hatred/angst/whatever toward the parents who let their young kids upload youtube videos. don't be mean to the kids though, like chill tf out. i don't care if anyone dislikes kids or whatever, but going out of your way to be rude to literal children is pretty gross imho.

aww man i remember i was one of those kiddos. :c
i mean, cringy as these things are, ya gotta let the kids live a little. we can all look back at our embarrassing young selves, our interests, and laugh! i still watch cringy, cheesy things like worst cooks in america and dumb diy videos. it's the little things.

the thing is though is that I was one of the kids as well I regret it every day. I regret liking the things I did every day, every hour. Nonstop madness- I only feel regret looking back at everything I've done. And yet I can't let go of it due to some bizarre emotional attachment. Even the things I like now I regret ever having tried out in the first place because they're regarded as bad (which they are), and I don't want kids to have to be stuck in that pit. If someone told me to find better interests, I would have, and I wouldn't have the peculiar interests I do have. I would feel better about so many things if somebody stepped in and told me what it really way. I want kids to find interests that won't leave them as outcasts later on. I don't want them to be failures like me. And I genuinely don't like roasting kids. It disgusts me just as much as the next guy. But I feel like there's no other way to stop them from feeling the sense of constant regret that i have.

But I feel like there's no other way to stop them from feeling the sense of constant regret that i have. i'm sorry you feel that way but not everyone feels like that about themselves as a kid. most people are able to go "yeah maybe X thing about me was embarrassing, but i was a kid and all kids are like that." kids aren't "stuck in a pit." they're being kids and most of them aren't going to feel bad for liking things, so leave them alone. it's really a shame you feel so bad, but don't bring other kids down too because, honestly, being told your interests are "bad" or "cringe-y" from an older person, regardless of how they view their intentions, hurts a lot and can make someone really insecure about their interests for a long time. so leave the kids alone.

OOC Tbh, I was constantly told as a kid that my interests were stupid and instead of making me mature faster or whatever, it just made me feel really self conscious about anything I have ever liked and still like to this day. I'm hesitant to tell anyone about the things I like now because of that. If I had just been able to enjoy myself without feeling like I was being cringe-y and stupid, I'd have more self confidence now. So maybe just chill on the kids? Let them be them.

redheart im sorry that you're feeling really down on yourself right now. but trust me when i say, if someone had told you that you had terrible interests as a child, you wouldn't be any better off than you are now.

same. growing up, my "friends" and peers constantly shamed me for everything I liked. I wasn't allowed to express any of my interests to anyone, because everyone picked on me for how "stupid" it was. It wasn't stupid to me though. I enjoyed the things I liked, but it hurt my feelings to be treated like there was something wrong with me for liking these things. To this day I've never gotten over it. I have a hard time opening up to anyone because yI'm scared they're going to think I'm weird and they're going to stop being my friend like my past "friends" have.

I understand where you're coming from and I'm sorry you feel that way, but honestly, let kids be kids. Liking stuff like LPS isn't doing any harm and honestly shouldn't be your problem to fix. If you interfere, that's actually doing them more harm than good. If they regret it, they regret it. If they don't, they don't and may think back to their childhood fondly. Not everyone is the same.

It's better for kids this way. I don't want them to regret liking the things they do now in the future I know it's not my place to say this, but I'm kind of starting to think the opposite is true. I think somebody, somewhere made you feel bad about the person you used to be - maybe not directly, maybe not on purpose, maybe not in a way that anyone could readily identify as harmful, but in a way that hurt you nonetheless. You can blame yourself now all you want, but you are not the person who hurt Little You. It wasn't your fault or her fault that people thought of her as "immature" or "foolish" or "horrible." And I know you're trying to help, but you can't, can't, can't be that force in some other kid's life, because all that's going to do is bring more pain to more people. Those kids deserve the same thing you deserved: to be allowed to do things that make them happy. To feel safe in their ability to be themselves. I also don't think you would have become a happier person today if somebody'd tried just a fraction harder to stifle the things that made you you. Maybe you would like all of the coolest TV shows or read everyone's favorite books, but first of all, you wouldn't be Redheart, and second of all, everything Redheart about you would've been taken away by force. It sucks to grow up with shame - and I think you probably know that, because you're obviously coping with a lot of internalized shame right now. It's just - it's not the answer, okay? You being ashamed and upset doesn't fix anything. And, for the record, you're not a bad or weird or annoying person. You don't deserve whatever you're feeling right now.

hey man, whatever's going on with you right now, I hope you can sort it all out and that it goes away. :c I've seen you around the otd, you seem like a wonderful, funny person. whatever happened that made you think your interests were horrible and meant nothing sounds awful. I hope that soon you can look back on the more positive side of that time in your life.
nevertheless, I would hope that you wouldn't actually want to spread these harmful thoughts to these kids who're just playing with things they think are cool and fun. take some time to take a breather.
