What were you doing a decade ago? How was this year for you overall?

Started using Gaia online when my friend was using it. Then I started using more forums after that.

I was huffing paint, gasoline, and rubber cement. Good times.

bump for original interest... originally

I was also a gaiafag in 08. Mainly just to watch the free movies though

>tfw this was the year i first started browsing Jow Forums and when i met my oneitis

Browsing Krautchan, and starting to switch over to r9k.

I was shitposting on /b/ age 12

I was eight, idk, being an annoying cunt in 3rd/4th grade I suppose.

This year has seen vast improvements in my social circle, what girls I've been dating, my religious life, my career path, and how much of an absolute asshole I am. I'm really moving on up.

working as a mule 14 hours per day no vacations all my money goes to my family no gf no friends just a cool cat making me company
good days

I was 16 in 2008. I had just gotten my first car and my first job at a library. I also got my first laptop, where fapping and playing WoW all day become the norm in my life.

It was also when the few nerds I hung out with turned out to be massive normalfags. They all started getting laid, and taunted me for being a kissless virgin.

Not much has changed at 26.

work on it bro cuz i didnt pay interest in get laid at your age too now i am 35yo kissless virgin and it sucks

Really? Namefagging? Just don't.

Depressing as fuck. Lost my 2 cats and my dog the year prior in the worst way imaginable and my brother attempted seppeku in 2008. What a fucking nightmare of a year.

Have always and will continue.

Go cry me a river.

Hearty Holy Kek. Went to a catholic school and remember that song allll tooo welllll... What made it funny for me was I just fed some seagulls 5 guys fries today.

It was a pretty fucked up year for me.
My dad died and after that i stop doing sport and start doing drugs.at that time in my country ethnobotanical shit was legal,every kid could buy it from shops all over the city.i was 15.

Decent year desu.
I was in fourth grade in 2008, and my teacher had a red eared slider as a class pet, which was interesting to watch.
2008 was also the year I first saw a praying mantis, and the only time I have ever seen a walking stick bug.
It was the year I learned how to tie a tie, and the only year I had ever snowshoed.
I remember enjoying science classes that year

Soon after that i was hospitalized 3 times in a mental illness institution.nobody knew how treat you from that shit.doctors said to me it was easy if i was on heroin.

I got out of school at 12 on Wednesday and then spent the whole day playing halo 2

So pretty good i'd say

2008 was right in the middle of my early teen chad years, so I was mostly fooling around with super-cute preteen girls.

My business started to break even last year, and things this year have left me cautiously optimistic about the near future.

was browsing the internet as a underage 8 year old

very sad feels indeed, all my sense innocence was lost in the coming years after that.

Internet was in it's prime a good four years before then. I remember when Youtube Poop started in 2001, but it didn't start gaining traction until 2006 - 2008. I was also there for All Your Base Are Belong To Us.

NEET, dropped out of HS 2 years prior

wasn't 2008 the time of chris chans rising?

At 16 it was the year aftet I'd peaked. >I broke up with the only gf I ever had
>started failing school
>nearly got expelled for stealing and selling other students shit
>got in a fight that led to all my friends ditching me
>started drinking heavily
And that was just the start of the downward spiral without things like having a mental breakdown, dropping out of uni and living with someone who would turn out to be a pedo.

One of the best years of my life. I was posting on /a/ and watched some great anime.

>neet ever since, going on 10 years minus the time in which I forced to try to get a job by my mom, fired the first day of work at burger king.

Still fat/ still hoping for a better future/ and here I am posting with u autists

16 was my downward spiral too. I think I peaked at 14 in 2006:

>stood up to my bullies
>asked out a grill and she said yet
>got to hold hands with said gril
>would even kiss me on the cheeck before she got on the bus at school

But then like a fucking idiot I broke up with her because she attended a special ed course, so of course in my 14 year old mind

>special ed = retarded

So I didn't want to be known as someone who dated a retard, when she clearly wasn't. She might have been put in there for any number of reasons. At 16, I began the descent into NEETdom.

I was going to classes to pass various IT certifications in hope of having a career I at least somewhat like.

Well it turned out I wasn't smart enough to pass the tests and my mental health took a huge dive. Doesn't help I had to move in with my parents in some small ass town 300 miles away from anything relevant. I hate this place so much I would nuke it even if god came to me and said I would go to hell for it I would still nuke it.

I did apply for disability years ago and got denied. I spent several years going to doctors building my case. Then I had to move back here and got a shit doctor. My other doctors could have said 99 things that support my case and this asshole only has to say one thing to sink the whole thing because that's how it works. It is a kangaroo court.

Things are looking up in the sense that I have purchased my suicide gun and made all my preparations with my will and suicide note. I can't wait for this nightmare to end. Don't bother trying to talk me out of it. I have had people push this "it will get better" shit for over 20 goddamn years and now at age 35 I realize that I was right and I should of killed my self at 15. There is no digging out of this hole unless I win the lottery or some other bullshit miracle.

>2008, watching my favorite TV show while eating hot Cheetos and licking the dust off my finger, not a care in the world
>2018, watching my favorite anime while eating hot Cheetos and licking the dust off my finger, about to die of stress

in comparison to now, it was great, like the waiting line to this awful life i have now.

my life pre 2010 was better, the ride was smooth. But the tone was very ominous, it seemed grey like i knew something terrible was in store for me. But i'm an edglord so i liked it.

i'm the same age as you and i was litterally too retarded to use a computer. I couldn't read until i was like 7 and i mainly played on my gamecube or brothers xbox360.

i started using the internet around 2007, but didn't get a personal computer till 2008. and i have to agree with what you say.

everythings taxed by stress when you are an adult. We can't hope to regain the environment that allowed us to be careless.

they taught me to use computers around age of 7 in school, like learn to type on keyboard and all that stuff. the rest i learned by myself as a kid. pretty much all computer stuff i learned by myself

Weird that youtube poop started 4 years before YouTube existed.

I was 8. Was hanging outside every day till 3 am in the summer dicking around with the neighbors. Got a lapdance from my neighbors older sister was 13 at the time inside their moms car. Also grabbed her ass when she played cops and robbers with other people. Also started getting into games like wizard101 and fusionfall and wasted a shit load of time. Overral that year was pretty damn good

I didn't get my own laptop until around 2007, but I would always use the family PC after school before anyone got home. Unfortunately, I didn't have DSL until 2006.

ah 2008, the year of the freeze. it was the year I was seemingly systematically isolated from every person I was friends with. For the entire semester, I never once got a call. Hung out with people 3 days, asking to be let out of the car so I could walk home (they didn't hear me) and getting arrested that night, that summer, and on the first day of school I sat alone at lunch.

>liberal arts freshman
>think life is going to be a fairy tail

I wish i could get back in time and do things diferently, but the only thing i can do now is to use all of my experience and try to succeed with what i have.

I got dismissed from university for being a shit student and then proceeded to accomplish nothing professionally for 10 years.

The year I graduated high school
The year I started college
And the year I found Jow Forums

My life started going downhill from here.

later that school year, tho 2009, my main "friend" started chasing my dog and she was in a corner so I attacked him but he was bigger than I and he slammed me on the ground, wind knocked outta me, and started punching me in the face. the next day was the six flags physics trip and I ended up walking alone with a black eye. I felt so fucking bad that I went to the bus and layed down in the back row

getting bullied by kids at school 12 hours a day because millitary high school

i was 9
i don't remember shit

Working your ass off and getting it together at 100% sprint effort gives you moments where you can be carefree and without worry. Those moments are worth the effort. Trick is you need to learn how to turn off then later turn back on your internal worry and giveafuck switch as well.

project chanology was so much fun.
worked at sam's club.
lost my virginity at 20.
had a gf.
lots of fun times really.

gerugamesh or whatever that guy said.

I was 36.
original123

let's c sons, i was 64 then, ripe young age, tho i'm a lil bit riper naow. I was fucking 18 & 19 year olds in the ass, I had a harem of 42 chicks and they supported me when I finally settled down and married my sibling
I was riding in the chatelaine nearly 24/7
filled so many cracks with caulk you wouldn't believe. the sight of a gaping 18 year old beauty's asshole that had my cum dripping out

You are 4 years away from being 50 and yet you are here. Are you ok?

I was just joining a group called "The Notorious Buttfuck 7", it was, in reality made up of 14 people plus 2 rotators. We played volleyball each sunday after mass then we would hang out and suck each other's feet

I can still go perfectly back to a sunday late afternoon listening to motley crue or some satanic black speed power metal act, getting dragged around by lenny lewis peuderpeuwtis via my big toe in his mouth and the saliva glistening threateningly, dripping onto the floor making me nervous somebody wouldn't mop it up and i'd have to lick the whole group

oh, well, humph, of all the things! well, humph, I never! The year before that I, that is, not you (& thus ur a loser and probably a Nazi cuck) joined a skateboarding squadron called "Nefertit's Sarcofoguise". WE would shoot videos for the local church doing scenes from the bible and for desert we'd have a potluck and play tony-hawk proskater. I swear to god I can still do a 900

I've got you beat and thus you're a fricking cuckold: in 199 B.C. I was born. I was doomed to walk this earth invisibly, immortally, but stankily. I can't even listen to conversations because those i'm eavesdropping can't stand being near me plus I do have this bags under my eyes they feel like fucking bags of sand. but 2008? yeah that's when I fucked a guy with my eye socket and then shaved his bellybutton and sold the proceeds into slavery the wages of which went to Louis Viotton XXVIVI

>got my first personal computer
>Watched a lot of anime
>Studied japanese
That's about all I remember

11th grade, almost done with high school. Really wanting a Wii but being too much of a poorfag to buy one. Very much into Youtube Poops (I still am) and memes; you know, before the word became synonym with "any picture with impact font text on it "
