Matured

[Nebulous]

Looking at how you are now,

What types of stupid activities or behaviors, mindsets did you have before?

Hmm...I think just like, typical teenager things on a very small scale. I drank underage and hung out with people who were much older than me, but maybe like...no more than a handful of times with the drinking thing. I was never big on drinking in the first place, so that wasn't a consistent thing.

I also popped a lot of pills after getting addicted to them trying to find a treatment for insomnia and then anxiety. Stopped doing that.

When I was 13, I was a complete noob. Why? Because I tended to post in Spanish language on English forums. I once got terminated from Yahoo Answers as well due to my fault back then. But the big mistake was in 2010. I posed as some other member from a gaming forum, just to argue with people since I couldn't understand the copyright-related moderations on that forum. Got two-week banned for that btw, and then one-year blocked from a custom wiki due to plagiarism. All of them in the same year mentioned. Took me 18 months since then to mature myself in those aspects, as well as my English grammar usage on forums.

Thankfully, I never did anything that immature that got me into trouble. When I was younger I had the mindset that I had to be quiet and to only speak when I was spoken to. It was a silly thing to live by because in the real world you don't get anywhere by being quiet. I used to think I was anti-social and that I prefer to be alone but honestly I was absolutely miserable. It wasn't until after I graduated, went to college, and worked in the real world did I break out of my shell. I wish I knew back then what I know now - I would have enjoyed high school so much more.
