When we look back into our more foolish days of youth, we sometimes may realize how stupid we were. When I was younger, I would start to think that people are into me once they are nice to me. It was so hilarious if I think back on it. And when somebody was nice to me, I did not only think that they are attracted to me but also thought if relationships were possible, then I would start trying to get the attention of the man. HAHa now it seems like nothing. We are all people with our individual lives and I am not even considering relationships in that way anymore. Now life seems more real. So guys, do you have any growing up stories to share? Like how foolish you were in doing things and only realized it was stupid or funny when you got older?

I've had many of those. - I used to think that people liked me all the time if they said HI to me. haha.
Now that I'm married, I see how immature I was and its kind of like "wow, I can't believe I was like that!" I used to be pretty out-going but also quiet, I've always been more of a listener than a talker and I'm still like that today BUT I'm more... um.. reserved I guess? Sometimes I think I'm more lazy than I was before, since I'm working a full time job and I'm pregnant I don't ever feel like doing anything anymore.
But anyways, back to the subject. - My husband has pretty much taken over the go-getter in me. I was never afraid to go up to someone and just start talking when all my other friends would be like "OO hes cuteeeee" and I was always questioning, like, why dont they just go talk to him? They would always get mad at me because I was the only one that would go up there, and then it seemed like they would end up liking me. but (haha.. teenage ways) oh well!
What are things that happened to you or things that you used to do. Tchantal?

haha yah I had those things too. I was the only one who would go up to guys, but I was always a chaser. I chased after guys. omg was I immature, its just like you said, were getting more reserved haha. I'm more focused on working and living my life than running after people. When I was younger, I would dress up soooo much whenever I go out. I had to have the shortest skirt, the highest heels, and if possible mid-drift top or so....hahah and then I had this hooker attitude. One time I kissed 5 guys in a night....boy I had wild times. I'm glad I grew up...hahaha

When I was much younger I always though if I was being picked it was because they were being mean to me and didn't like me. Now I know most of that is usually because I did or do or said something that is funny to them, and they are just joking, for the most part. Looking back that could be the reason that people thought I was an A-hole for a long while... Now I just take it in stride.

I know exactly what you mean, I did the same thing when I were younger. Ithink that's a very natural teenage thing.
