For me, it would be that I smoke weed
That i don’t believe in god anymore. My family was very religious growing up
The brainwashing is real. Took me years to fully grow out of it.
That it all worked out, somehow.
10 yrs old you Hi-Five!
That I’m a girl now. Would have blown their mind that it was even possible. But then would have been disappointed in me for not having made a video game yet.
I was about to comment the same thing lol. Even the video game part.
Honestly though, I feel like there’s a chance I wouldn’t have been surprised cause I feel like I subconsciously knew back then but just didn’t understand it or know the words to describe it.
I always felt a kinship with girls while growing up and often thought of it as the idea that men and women really weren’t as different as people kept saying they were.
No kid, you’re trans. You weren’t a shining example of how a boy can get along with girls. You were just a girl among other girls.
As someone who recently came out, I was kinda hoping that this would be here. It is a pretty wild thought
So what kind of game are you making?
Estradiol is fucking magical.
Estrogen in general I would say.
But then would have been disappointed in me for not having made a video game yet.
That’s me NOW, too! Maybe if enough of us get together we can cobble something together to appease our childhood selves
But with how abusive the game industry is, makes me never want to get a job at a company that makes games. But that also means I have a full time job doing something else, and the idea of doing my job and coming home to work on my passion project game also sounds nightmarish.
that im still alive
20 was the expectancy
i always say im running on fumes of spite now and i got plenty of spite still left“What do you mean you’re happy with getting socks for Christmas?!”
Never thought I’d spend as much on the wool socks I have… yet here I am.
Last time I was gifted socks…they were the wrong one (somehow, I get my socks from Walmart, so I’m not too picky, or so I thought). I’m pretty sure it was an amazon special - anyways now I tell everyone I’m super picky about socks or that I have 20 pairs already.
Darn Tough
Woa… I had no idea the branding was chosen for that. Very cool.
i live in a different country and most of the day i speak a different language
That I am a girl now. Seems to be a common pattern şn the comment section 💀
Same, although I had thoughts in that direction at that age but I couldn’t categorize them.
yep. Same (about having had the thoughts and not being able to categorize)
-
That I’d rather go outside than play video games all day.
-
That I no longer care about becoming a software developer and work in a huge corporation (fuck 'em)
-
That I still have no girlfriend.

I didn’t have a lot of belief in myself. At 10 my dream was “work in an office”, because it would mean I was smart enough to not need to work a manual job. I also firmly believed that no woman would want me.
I’d be surprised to learn that I’m married, have a child, and work in tech for one of the biggest companies in the world. They’d also be surprised that I’m moving to that city where Friends is.
You see that pretty girl who lets you touch her? That’s your wife.
See those kids - they are yours. That one can go hunting and will get more girls than you ever will, that one is as kind and caring as you can get, and that one will do dumb shit with you.
Evwrybody likes to feel useful
That I’m pregnant. I was a tomboy and very masculine. This is as far away from masculine as I can be at least in a physical sense. It’s not as bad as I thought.
Probably that I haven’t killed myself yet. That’s not a joke.
Yeah, I survived too 💓! Always wanted to but it wasn’t always so simple.
I’m impressed with the amount of people who can actually remember what they were like as a 10 year old. I’ve got some pictures n’ shit of myself from back then, but honestly that might as well be a completely different person, and I can’t tell you jack about what’s going through their head.
I can relate to that. I remember specific memories, but my situation has changed so much that I don’t relate to being the same person
What age do you start remembering what you were like?
I became really self-aware at 11. I’m guessing a bit about being 10, but 6th grade (11-12) is when I feel like I started being the person I still am 20+ years later. Obviously I’ve grown, but it started then.
I have some vague memories from around middle school, but pretty much nothing prior to that.
Highschool and later are locked in, but before that goes from hazy to brick wall real quick.
My job…
10 year old me would be amazed
21 year old me would call me a sell out
30 year old me would nod approvingly
Current age me is getting too old for this shit
Current age me is getting too old for this shit
Ah fuck, you’re partnered with Riggs, aren’t you?

That I’m a runner. Never in my life did I imagine ever enjoying running. Aiming for my first marathon in spring!
Awesome! Do what you love! 10 yrs old you would think that’s so cool. 26 miles is Really far!
