GingerRose Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Have you ever done something dumb when you were younger that turned out okay but you look back on it and just think "What was I thinking?"? Link to post Share on other sites
SithLord Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Lots of stuff. I react pretty negetively even remembering how embarassing or bad some things were. Link to post Share on other sites
Scottthespy Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Several things. Not all of them terribly long ago. I've actually started applying cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to my visceral and unwarranted reaction to the memories in hopes of getting myself to chill out about stuff I can't change.

asexualofhearts Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 When I was very small I would eat random items and plants that could very possibly have been poisonous. Link to post Share on other sites
no-longer-in-use Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Yep. I even think "Wow, that was really dumb" when remembering things I did more recently. I'm still growing up so I suppose that's normal. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I could write a book on mine. Dumbest would be jumping off the roof of a house. My competitive spirit got the best of me. I couldn't explain how I walked away with no broken bones. Just a pretty jammed ankle, but no bone or ligament injury. The impact made everyone cringe. I limped heavily for days, but not even a hairline fracture. People tell me am very wise. I retort with that I was an extremely dumb kid. I got bored, and the stupidity level got amplified.

I think I decided that in a tornado, I would be in safer shelter across the lake, but didn't barely think that to get there would be as much danger. Link to post Share on other sites

SpaceDustbin Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 When I was 5, I was very good at the "Let's touch this heat source right after it's been switched off". And not touching with just a finger, no let's put my whole hand on the gas stove and clothes iron. Never did that again afterwards, so at least I learnt something 😂 Link to post Share on other sites

Ashmedai Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Well, I did start smoking when I was 15 and drinking when I was 16 or 17, so there's that. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Drugs and dropping out of high school by far are my dumbest. I got into a few altercations with teachers. I was a mess. I luckily missed, but threw a math book at a teacher's head. I got expelled, eventually got back in but just gave up. I had to jump through so many hoops to get a high school diploma as an adult. Along with the challenge of graduating college as a much older student, while working full time. I haven't touched a drug nor drank more than a beer on a social evening, say at work (I otherwise avoid alcohol) for over 15 years. It created a side of me I never want to see again. Just the lack of control over all this rage pulsating through my bones. I guess the lone benefit, is I don't look down on those who are at their rock bottom periods of life.
