I tend to get very emotional when looking at certain items, like teddy bears, balls, dolls or DIY things done by kids. I think they resemble my childhood - happy, pleasant and full of friends. But it's gone.
Same with books - I'm not avid reader and it hurts me when I see room full of books no one is going to read.
Items no one is using. Does any of you feel the same way?
Absolutely. I'll go into nostalgic daises when I look at my leopard gecko. There's just something so youthful about holding a docile lizard and using your imagination to picture it devolving into its ancient, prehistoric ancestors.
I'd do many things to just go back.
What kind of DIY things did you do as a kid?
>>8010 I was never good at that stuff, I was always asking my mum to build me Lego house because I couldn't myself. I would play with figures and create my own scenarios. I have them lying in the house, broken through all this years.
I don't know how to put it into words, but comparison between elementary/middle school (colorful corridors, painting made by students) and kids (growing too fast, already interested in lewd stuff) is also melancholic for me. I remember one Russian flick where kindergarten staff was abusing kids and walls were full of cartoon characters.
>>8012 Oh, bummer :(
I feel so sorry for kids who don't have a very good imagination. I was only creative when I wanted to be though; I'd actually try my best to imitate how lego sets looked in the pictures on the box, and force anyone who tried anything less accurate to stop! Also, my imagination helped me a lot with learning. Prehistory was so fun cause I could picture prehistoric scenes so vividly and compare dimensions of various organisms visually.
My imagination helped me with escapism from my parents too who, though not divorced, were a tad fickle due to having past marriages.
I have similar melancholic feelings to what you described. Mainly because I now understand the extent to which public education is an abomination, even after succeeding in it. It hurts especially thinking about all of the friends I've lost since elementary due to my self-imposed isolation; that no outside forces are to blame for my neglect.
That Russian flic is good, wish I knew what it was called
>>8013 Imagination and being creative are two different things, don't you agree? I was living in my fantasy with toys and made good memories, you don't have to feel sorry.
>It hurts especially thinking about all of the friends I've lost since elementary due to my self-imposed isolation
Same happened to me, I realized it too late.
>That Russian flic is good, wish I knew what it was called
Are we talking about the same movie? Tell me what it was about or one memorable scene.
>>8014 >Imagination and being creative are two different things, don't you agree? I was living in my fantasy with toys and made good memories, you don't have to feel sorry.
Yeah, fair point. Glad you still made good memories.
>I realized it too late
Same. Do you ever dream about tactics you'd use to prevent it should you miraculously be able to travel back in time? My solutions always seem so annoyingly efficient. If only I knew better :/
>Are we talking about the same movie? Tell me what it was about or one memorable scene.
No, we're not. I'm thinking of an old animation that was uploaded to Jewtube: https://invidio.us/watch?v=34w2DPrRfYk I think it's about the harsher than normal fun-restrictions of schooling that were happening in the state of the animator, at the time.
What you're thinking of still sounds interesting, though
>>8016 >Do you ever dream about tactics you'd use to prevent it should you miraculously be able to travel back in time?
Nah, I accepted it. When I think I would be a normie doing what normies do, without learning about encryption, anonymity and other things, I would feel even more horrible. I've always been a bit "different" than others, that is not complete normie. Now I think it was a matter of time before I would get excluded for not having jewbook, snapjew and other proprietary bullshit.
I tried socializing and being normie, but it didn't work, so we can have discussion now.
>>8018 Oh, same in some respects. Something I don't regret is avoiding people who couldn't even bother to care about me enough to use anything besides your mentioned proprietary bullshit to interact with me. The dichotomy of platforms is so much larger than it used to be, normen communication is tricky since analog communication is ever scarcer.
I wish meetups were still magically a thing. I can't imagine anything more fun than a nanon party irl
>>8020 Just imagine the memetics you would normally reserve for your fingers being allowed to stream from your mouth, live. How awesome.
Any idea how we could make it happen, hypothetically?
>>8030 I refuse to believe there aren't any "normal" people here besides me. I'm you're average nerdy college student, that's it. Well I am a lolicon but that's pretty mainstream nowadays anyways
>>8075 Wdf are you on, id's obbiously imblied "normal" doesn'd mean normies in dhis gondegd, singe dhere aren'd bragdigally normies here. Eggebd for you maybe
>>8229 How gan you be so sure? Imageboards are nearly mainsdream, we habe do use Dor do filder normalfags and sdill id won'd sdob egdy gids from aggesing id.
>>8229 >"normal" doesn'd mean normies in dhis gondegd
Dhen whad does id mean? Unless you're a neggbeard, audisd, griminal or bedobhile, and as long as you desgribe yourself as a "normal", aberage, nerdy gollege sdudend, you don'd belong on imageboards. And a gollege sdudend? If you're in a Gommonwealdh goundry, you're underage, if nod, you're an Amerigan. Amerigans are, and always habe been, dhe worsd bosders. And eben as an Amerigan, being a gollege sdudend, surely you musd be guide young, and you gids are derrible bosders. So I say again, dhangs for ruining imageboards.
>How gan you be so sure?
I'm nod sure dhere aren'd any ad all, bud ebery dime I adbise someone on dhe glearweb do sdard do lurg dargweb ghans, dhey're lige "nah" and gome ub widh egguses. Normies simbly find id doo ingonbeniend do use dor for lurging
>Unless you're a neggbeard, audisd, griminal or bedobhile, and as long as you desgribe yourself as a "normal", aberage, nerdy gollege sdudend, you don'd belong on imageboards.
I'm a loligon, how's dhad for a bedo :DD
Seriosly dho your obinion is shid, you gan be non-normie eben if you aren'd a gomblede weirdo. If you said normies don'd belong here I gould see your boind
I'm a NEED, I jusd said gollege sdudend begause I'm abblying do uni now, and brobably will ged in. Bud I fugging bed I'm nod dhe only non-weirdo here
>>8044 > I refuse to believe there aren't any "normal" people here besides me.
I've been a shutin for so many years I've forgotten what people usually mean by "normal"
What do you mean by it?
I experience nostalgia for a certain childhood I never had.
People say that the people obsessing about the golden age of an artform as "looking through rose tinted glasses", but they aren't. It's not their nostalgia that made it look so good. It's the industrialization that degraded the art that makes the new era crap, save for a few niche areas.
>>8031 >one idiot tries to have sex with hapase
>three nanons tell him no, hapase is pure
>five anons say do it faggot
>two anons say that its a trap, hapase is a CIA informant
>seven of them are actually hapase
>>8044 You're correct.
I consider 'normal' to be an slight insult (I embrace 'weird' as a synonym for 'interesting') but as far as my public life goes I can fit in as normal. Like what you said, without the lolicon. It took some practice and failures, but I'm here.
But give a man a mask and he will show you who he is
>>9205 I said we look weird when I saw reflection of naked us(my girlfriend and me) in mirror. She was 8/10 and Im between 9-10/10. We broke few days later beacuse I couldnt get erection.
>>9230 >8+/10 with a 6+/10 GF on nanochan
I'll believe it when I see it. Not impossible, but too hard to believe well I'd smash the alleged Hakase so maybe not...
