Things I Grew Out of Doing

This is quite random and a very serious take, but felt like making a take.

1. Playing video games

I used to obsessed with video games. I could stay up all night for 2 or 3 days just to finish a video game. I still love a lot of the video games i played and can occasionally play with someone just for fun.

I just grew tired of it. I find it a waste of my time now and have no logical reason to play it. I just say to myself 'this isn't helping me in any way shape or form, it is just pleasurable in the short term'. I don't know when i just stopped, but now i have no interest in playing and haven't played video games in a long time.

2. Watching TV

Oh my god , the TV makes me want to go wash my brain and not remember any of the stuff i saw ever again. Not every channel is pointless , some documentaries can be interesting. But that reality TV stuff and dramatic TV shows are so stupid and no disrespect to anyone that likes to watch them , but how do you sit through a scripted badly written reality TV show without your brain going 'wow , this is ridiculous' .

3. Makeup

Things I Grew Out of Doing

I used to be crazy about makeup , nails , nice clothes , heels etc but that all stopped when i turned 17 and i was just bored with it all. Thought makeup was expensive and a waste of my money , aimed to just get better skin and eat healthier and work out which worked out 10 times better than using makeup. I quite like how i look without it and i dont mind looking 'bland' without it .

I do have lots of nice outfits but i prefer just dressing casual with class and looking out together without putting in too much effort.

I grew out of my teenage and childhood years where i wanted to be an everything is pink and girly type of princess lol.

4. Doing stupid shit

I think most teenagers grow out of this one. I used to get quite angry a lot and didn't accept that life wasn't the 'way it was supposed to be' . I grew up and realized yeah no shit it isn't what it's supposed to be , life isn't meant to be easy.

I also used to have false confidence when i was 13-14 and i'm happy i grew out of thinking i am 'smart and pretty' . I think i'm just average and that is fine , doesn't stop me from living my life.

I also used to believe that 'people could be obese and healthy' because it was so pushed by the media . Not that i was obese , i just believed that health had nothing to do with weight because 'everyone says so' . LOL.

Yeah i am glad i no longer believe in that stupid stuff. I don't see the big deal with admitting that being obese means you are definitely not healthy and that you need to lose weight ( unless you have an ACTUAL disability or health problem that stops you from losing weight , you have no excuse ) .

5. Caring what other people think

Now i am confident and i love it! Also blake lively is a tall sista so i like her even more.

Of course i do not mean this in the literal sense , i still care what people at school or work say or what a close friend says.

But i do not care anymore about impressing people. My god the things i used to do to feel accepted.

There was a time when i used to think confidence was only for the attractive and the popular people, but hey it is free and i can be confident in myself if i want to , there doesn't have to be a reason. Confidence doesn't mean thinking you are hot shit and being delusional , but being comfortable with who you are and how you look , and not caring what negative and hating people think.

I changed my attitude , my walk , my clothes , the topics i discussed to seem 'relatable' , i lost all of my ' i don't care what you say and don't waste my time or try to be an asshole to me' . I even changed all my shoes because i hated my height after people told me i was 'too tall'. I was actually respected at the time i didn't care what others thought and stood up for myself, people didn't like me but they still respected me and knew they couldn't fuck with me ever.

Somewhere along the way i started losing confidence when i lost hope and felt like i didn't belong and wasn't like everyone else therefore i either had to fit in or deserved to die. I even tried to be attractive and date when i absolutely hated it (i am an asexual and an aromantic, they sound so sjw lol but for lack of better words that best describe why i can't, don't want to date and never want to attract anyone. I also don't want to get married or have kids. Ever since i was like 12 years old i never wanted a partner).

Now i'm just like if you don't like me you can fuck right off, since it is your problem if you dislike me.

And i quite like my height now. It makes me look confident, shows off my body better in most outfits and the outfit itself better, and i drank a lot of milk when i was young so i could help myself get even taller so i obviously wanted to be tall since i hated being short when i was growing up lol. And i wear any shoes i like and if someone asks me why i would want to be 'even taller and more manly' I tell them' so i can stomp in your face if you don't shut the fuck up' lol. Quite harsh but thats just how i roll.

If you want to make this a challenge or do a similar take, please do.
