Does anyone look back at their old threads they started and just say "yikes"?

The title speaks for itself! :smile:

I just did it and I just cringe at them XD

A few of the ones attributed to me here were not started by me, so I guess the original accounts must have been deleted.

Yes very cringe :hide:

On the plus side it probably means you've grown as a person if you're cringing at your younger self :smile:

Lol and thank you!
You've just got to marginalise them by creating threads worthy of pride!

Like Which is better: Mustard or Olives? or In my pants...

All the time. That said, there are some real whoppers too. So it balances out.
No but i could see it happening
Yes, I was very cringeworthy when I first joined. I was young with 0 life experience and this was my first 'social media'.

I try to not cringe too much as it is just natural maturing and adult development.

Yes! Completely agree!

For those that don't create threads, there must be some of your old posts you would cringe at reading now. I know I have.

Not at all. In fact, I created a thread where I set myself a challenge that I was going to argue against the existence of buses just using Richard Dawkins' arguments against Christianity because of a 'Dawkins against Christianity' thread where I pointed out that using Dawkins' arguments and requirements for evidence of the existence of God, you could deny the existence of anything.

I still look back at this and chortle.
