>>99312It took me a while to come to think of myself as narcissistic more than as anything else, for the longest time I had a more tragic view of myself, now I feel like I definitely shift blame to others and everything I can almost instinctively, and I have strange feelings of envy and shame when I don't get validation or someone else is getting too much attention.
I know what you mean about people seeing turning 18 or being categorized as an adult as an immediate change and not just as a slow process towards simply getting older, I just can't see my behaviour (this is fairly recent, and I didn't just turn 18, I'm in my early 20s) throughout my life as anything but that of a very fragile person to whom resentment comes about easily and who finds it hard to truly reflect on their mistakes and not shift blame.
>>99313I stopped posting when the board died for a while, when it came back as 8kun I didn't really use it anymore, I mostly enjoyed talking with a guy from Romania, Hungary or some European country I don't remember and venting about things I couldn't anywhere else. I'm gen Z and I never really got into generational bashing, old or young (or self bashing), I do remember lots of posts about Gen Z but there was also this weird guy that was obsessed with millennials and would post on every thread (and make his own threads) about how much he hated millennials and how they were a failed generation, while either equally shitting on boomers or sometimes even comparing them positively to millennials, and surprisingly defending Gen Z. Pretty weird place, but I did say some pretty personal stuff at the time, 2019-2020 or so.
