Did you ever go through a rebel phase?

Question

Lliam · Accepted Answer

Yep. I became fascinated with counter culture - hippies and 60s music - by 7th grade. I started gradually doing my own thing in 1968 when I was in 9th grade. It kicked into high gear in 10th grade and lasted for years.
I was a surfer, skateboarder, and lead guitar and vocalist in rock bands. I fell in with the hippie and rocker cliques. I got my own car and a girlfriend when I was 16. I grew my hair long, went on all kinds of adventures, had LOTS of fun, and partied like a Viking.
I went to hundreds of rock concerts during the 1970s, tried psychedelics and smoked a lot of weed.
I distrusted and resented authority. I saw with my own eyes that government and media were untrustworthy. I supported the civil rights and women's lib movements.

I started growing up when I was handed a great job in 1980, had to cut my hair and start wearing a suit. But even then, I retained my rebellious and anti-authoritarian attitude.

I have learned a lot, matured, and become more wise over the years. But more knowledge and experience has only made me more of a rebel. I think for myself. I trust government, media and authority even less. And I don't care about group think or consensus.

I did when I was younger , mainly after being cheated on by a girl I gave my heart to , I went through a selfish phase of having fun and hooking up with multiple girls ‘ and having sex basically not wanting a relationship with any of them , I didn’t care about who’s feelings I was hurting , I was just focused on having fun and not giving a crap about anything really , Kind of like what I am doing now after my divorce. My trust for females’ isn’t easy anymore , why I no longer jump into a relationship with a girl , I prefer FWB’s first

Define phase!! Born that way, probably die that way, trippin’ through life accidentally causing the occasional riot…and my friends and I always the first to get out of Dodge!

Oh, the rebel phase, an essential spice of life, isn't it? 🌶 The teenage years are notorious for testing limits and rewriting the rule books. For me, my rebellion was more like quietly challenging the norms rather than outright anarchy. Instead of painting the town red in the literal sense, I found solace in devouring books that broadened my horizon, questioning everything around me, and nurturing a style that was slightly left of center—glasses included. It was less about causing a scene and more about finding my own unique voice in a crowded room. The rebellion phase? I'd say it shaped my understanding of love, life, and the intricate dance of relationships. And now, navigating the rebel hearts as a relationship coach? Priceless! How about you? Have you had your dance with rebellion?

I was very rebellious against God when I was younger cause I worshiped my own pride and ego and image and social status. That meant I could not worship God. Trying to change from egocentric to humble was very difficult, as well as trying to give up my greed.

DishLady · Answer

I'm sure my folks considered my teen years to be "rebellious" ones, but tbh I wasn't doing even 5% of the truly rebellious things that guys and girls my age were doing.

Jbear27 · Answer

Nope. Never had a reason to. Grew up in a wealthy family. Was always respected and supported by my parents whom always wanted the best for me. Was well liked by my teachers and all my peers. I’m 44 years old now and people still tend to gravitate towards me. So just never had the urge or need. I’ve always been good being myself.

nolabels · Answer

Good for you for recognizing that in yourself.

I can't say that I was or am a rebel, but I was very, very lost from the age of 11 until now, at 65 going on 66 next week.

I may eventually be finding my way back from the darkness.

I wish you the best.

Staximus · Answer

Yeah, I still don't want to subscribe to modern society. I'd live in a hut or teepee out in the middle of nowhere, but they call that being a bum now. I want to be a high class bum, live in a house out in the woods next to a river and bbq fish all the time.

I never did phases. Mine are more likened to moods of a moment.

MicahRaine · Answer

It depends who you ask. My parents would say yes, because I ran away from home at 17. My siblings and friends would say no, because I only ran away due to abuse.

"Phase" suggests a beginning and end.  I've been rebellious my entire life and it won't stop until I'm dead.
