sigh about six years earlier, I wrote a sUpEr EdGy short story about how nobody understands what I really am inside and how I'm different from all the other girls, it had exactly this same energy. Pretty funny how writing stuff like this about being "so different" is a somewhat universal experience that transcends time
"The other girls have taken up watercolor painting but I much prefer to sketch among nature where the men are talking. It's more engaging than the silly gossip over tea parties, where they talk of their future husbands and Londons latest fashions while I think about the latest Jane Austen novel that they probably haven't heard of"
"I am charmingly original. I am delightfully refreshing. I am startlingly Bohemian. I am quaintly interesting—[all] the while in my sleeve I may be smiling and smiling—and a villain. I can talk to a roomful of dull people and compel their interest, admiration, and astonishment. I do this sometimes for my own amusement."
The psychology behind why it continues to happen is the real issue, unfortunately. Especially ones like this where you can TELL it was written by a young person ("WANT" black hair? If she was an adult she'd have just dyed it)most of us have been this insecure little girl who is trying to say "no wait! Not all girls are the same!! I promise! See! I'm worthy!"
Shame on society for that. Not this little girl.
Don't look back at this time and cringe (I get it, I still do too) but try to look back and think "hell yeah, I lost my shackles! I've always been my own person, just like everyone else, I just don't feel like I have to prove that now." 💕
Currently trying to help my niece see this sooner rather than later. Once I realized I had nothing to prove, the whole world began to open up to me.
Now, if you were 25 and writing something like this, that's definitely more concerning, mean girl behavior lol
You know, as much as it is cringey, I do look back at my teenage self with a little bit of awe as well. I would wake up at 5 in the morning to paint black tears running down my face and mascara black stripes into my hair because I wasn't allowed to dye it, and I'd go to school in full black velvet skirts and corsets and vampire fangs. And that took a LOT of guts. I knew I'd get teased, I knew I'd stick out from my peers, and yet I did it anyway because that's what I WANTED to be. I definitely don't have that gravel in my guts as an adult now. I'm far too worried about sticking out or looking like I'm not on-trend. Good on younger me for having the courage.
Even more amazing is that a few years after high school, I ran into a girl I had known, and she told me how much I inspired her to be herself. I was ashamed of it at the time because I was still ashamed of myself in that era. But how special is it in a world where media and everyone around you convinces you that you're not good enough the way you are, to find out that you actually inspired someone to be who they want to be. From both my perspective AND hers. Pretty unique experience honestly, and I'm proud now.
But my poetry from the time still sucked, I'll never escape that 🤣
I thought it was about injuries, even the small ones. I'm not squeamish, mostly because my dad showed me gross things I shouldn't have seen back then, but even so, when I see any of my close people with a mild cut or something like that, I get a weird bad feeling inside, so I kinda see how someone could freak out seeing another person's blood
I remember one time I tripped and fell on asphalt, and I skinned my knee pretty badly. For some reason, it bled badly and looked pretty gnarly, and I got lightheaded looking at it. It felt like my stomach just kept dropping. I'm not squeamish, but I don't seek gross things out. I tend to be fairly matter-of-fact about such things.
Sometimes your body just goes wonky. It's only electric meat, after all, so it gets confused about its leaks.
and historically most of women would have to accompany a birth/work in a role of a midwife, so like, historically women saw more blood than men on average
I definitely agree that women have seen just as much blood as men and the idea that they pass out from seeing it is silly. But considering how common war was (along with involuntary conscription into said wars for men of the appropriate ages) I'm not sure that's true.
A lot of people get squeamish around blood in certain situations. I work at a butchers where one of the men is an almost 60 year old, burly, sterotypically masculine man. He literally works with animal carcasses and is constantly surrounded by blood but he fainted once when he had a small cut on his finger.
There definitely are women who get grossed out by blood even if they have a regular period
Its in reference to the creepypasta Eyeless Jack, a college guy who was forced into a ritual by a campus cult and turned into an eyeless monster that has to eat kidneys to survive
this looks like some shit i'd post on instagram in 2013😭
off topic but has to do w creepypastas: check out the slenderman case from 2014. morgan escaped her group home the other day (she was caught less that 24hrs later lol), as a wisconsin resident i'm so disappointed w the court system
This stems from an external conditioning to toxic and harmful social narratives and constructs about what women are and how they show up in the world. It creates an internal conflict and resistance and misappropriates that into conflict with other women. Also sets women up for poor self image and poor overall view of women in general.
It's normal to put women down and in our society from birth. Don't play with that, that's for girls. Don't be such a girl. Where. Be a lady. You throw like a girl. Cober yourself up. Don't be a bussy. Couldnt you have just sunk tour bottom into the sink if you didnt want it (a judge's words, not mine and referencing a permeating problem). Make me a sandwich. Hole for my dck. Can't keep a man. Bros before hos. Low value female. Keep your legs closed. Rather she dies from the pregnancy than abort, etc, a million examples we all face growing up and existing as women that reduce us and pit us against one another. In general women's labour is undervalued and women are overworked. Women are shamed and told they are unwanted for having children and honoring that responisbility by a men who often sratisticall6 abandons their responsibility. Wasn't that many generations ago that women could not vote or own property. We all know that harm and oppression of women is a worldwide problem that extends far beyond what I've written. Its built in to all society society and its wrong and comes from the insecurity of men.
God forbid a woman choose not to tolerate and ignore toxicity.
You know, it’s good that everyone is trying to celebrate what makes them different and special. I just hope they get to the next level of “and I don’t need to put down others to be special,” soon. That’s the really tiresome part.
Honestly I’m glad social media wasn’t as big as it is now when I was a young edgy teen. Sure it was around but just never played much in my social life and certainly not to the extent it is now. Because this is giving me cringe flashbacks.
In about 6-8 years, all of these girls will find out this is a canon event for millions of teens & they too will accept that they’re in fact, like the rest of us bitches & walk into our arms for a hug.
Are a lot of girls that uncomfortable about blood? 'Cause I can think of a lot more guys who are, I even may have shared a bathroom with one when we were teens (and taken full advantage of his squeamishness)
This is hilarious. If you're actually sadistic and pathologically antisocial not only do you not need to justify it by differentiating yourself based on songs and video games but you also tend to think that actually everyone else is like you deep down, you just have the courage or balls to say certain things out loud.
This person desperately cares what other people think because they desperately need to be seen as 'different'.
And I have sympathy for that and I understand they're likely a child and all but....wow. Just...that was... Amazingly... A lot there.
I am SO happy that my mother traumatized me into never writing personal stuff down where others can see. There'd be evidence of my edgy phase but it was half this bad,

That’s amazing. I would love to see what kind of stuff girls wrote like this hundreds of years ago.

I totally thought you were making that up at first 😂
Haha, nope! I'd recently read that article and thought it was wonderful how some things haven't changed.

"I'm unique just like everybody else!"😅
I have a girl I work with who's like this and she's so young and I feel bad but she pisses me off
"Normal girls puke at the sight of blood" okay well most normal girls bleed every month so...
I never understood the "girls freak out at blood" idea because most of us get periods?????
I thought it was about injuries, even the small ones. I'm not squeamish, mostly because my dad showed me gross things I shouldn't have seen back then, but even so, when I see any of my close people with a mild cut or something like that, I get a weird bad feeling inside, so I kinda see how someone could freak out seeing another person's blood
pointlessly gendered though
I get upset when someone else is bleeding too. I have had to squash it down because I have kids but I still have the internal freakout.
I remember one time I tripped and fell on asphalt, and I skinned my knee pretty badly. For some reason, it bled badly and looked pretty gnarly, and I got lightheaded looking at it. It felt like my stomach just kept dropping. I'm not squeamish, but I don't seek gross things out. I tend to be fairly matter-of-fact about such things.

Also, a majority of nurses are women, correct? Nurses see literally everything under the sun and probably have guts of steel

"if you are a Creepypasta fan, or are one"
if you're a creepypasta???
Fatima the killer
Like… okay miss edge lord.
Look out normies she's gonna jeff the kill you
Yeah, hope she's not gonna throw a thing of bleach onto me though that would suck :(
Jesus Christ, the cringe is insane here
there's one thing irritating me more than a pick me, a pick me who thinks she's so edgy and psycho
Yeah…organ pilfering would be considered abnormal. You win the “not like most girls” title for that one
She's got an entrepreneurial spirit, and she'll graduate college debt free.
I’m really just jealous
Who wouldn't be? It's an impressive kidney collection.
Someone tried to summon Slenderman
That chick recently escaped the group home in Madison WI, and they had to do a manhunt for her. Pretty scary for the community.
Me like 12 years ago, it was... Something
every day I am so glad that yellowjackets came out 15 years too late for this subculture lol
That show freaked me out, ngl 😂
I mean, as it should lmao (they EAT PEOPLE)
First show that ever made me think it needed a “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” warning hahaha
dead sparrow do (not) eat lol
Hahahahaha 😂
At first I thought it was a kind of autoimmune disease girl needing transplant ngl
I thought she was going to be a nursing student maybe.
if by thriving on blood you mean like, needing blood coursing through my body to survive then yea! for sure!
"Normal girls puke at the right of blood" like most women don't deal with blood on a monthly basis
Seeing the creepypasta and iNSaNiTY gave me war flashbacks
Haven't heard that song in years, god
I was a weird kid with unrestricted internet access😭
the whole women/girls fainting/throwing up at the sight of blood is frankly unrealistic
I've had ER workers tell me it's usually the burliest men who are the most squeamish
Yaaay, I'm a normal girl! 🥹
Why are they asking for kidneys? Serious question. Is it a code name or a sexual thing?

took my creepypasta-lovin’ ass up until the majora’s mask and smile-carving to realize it was a creepypasta reference-
[removed]
Bro i didnt even read til the end and i guessed right lmao
Two marble hornets references and two smile dog references… did she run out of creepy pastas? Lol

The last sentence fried me. I thought these girlies were organ traffickers lmao
I want to believe this was written to be intentionally cringe, but I have a feeling it isn't.
I'm glad I'm too old for that trend, though I'm sure I was somehow even more cringe 😬
"singed black" treating fire like it's hair dye like jeff the killer 😭
Aside from myself, I have never met a girl who pukes at the sight of blood.
Ew this kinda sounds like my own mother.
She sometimes says shit like this. She even made me seem like I was not like the other daughters.
Normal girls don't give a shit that you're different
You know, it’s good that everyone is trying to celebrate what makes them different and special. I just hope they get to the next level of “and I don’t need to put down others to be special,” soon. That’s the really tiresome part.
Most girls I know don’t want pink hair and think fun colours don’t look good 😔
Honestly I’m glad social media wasn’t as big as it is now when I was a young edgy teen. Sure it was around but just never played much in my social life and certainly not to the extent it is now. Because this is giving me cringe flashbacks.

SHE WEARS SHORT SHORTS I WEAR LONG LONGS SHES CHEER CHEERER AND IM ON THE SIT SITS
Yeah can confirm I ask for people's kidneys all the time
i would have 100% reblogged this on tumblr
okay but both just dance and majoras mask are tuff yall no need to shade either 😔💔
Are a lot of girls that uncomfortable about blood? 'Cause I can think of a lot more guys who are, I even may have shared a bathroom with one when we were teens (and taken full advantage of his squeamishness)
What do you mean you took advantage of him?
Not of him, his discomfort with blood.
And mainly by having a see-through bin for my used pads. I had heavy flows from the start of my periods, so the pads were quite bloody
But why take advantage of his discomfort?
Because living with a bully is not a lot of fun
ETA to clarify: my brother was horrible to me, it was a form of self defence
This is hilarious.

And I have sympathy for that and I understand they're likely a child and all but....wow. Just...that was... Amazingly... A lot there.
What “normal” girl pukes at the sight of blood considering it comes out of us every single month…
Don’t pmo I did not plan to be reminded of my creepypasta phase today
So basically, normal girls don't act like edgy emo kids that idolise serial killers.
Normal girls deal with bleeding every month like it's nothing. You aren't special, Steph the Killer.
I feel like these girls either grew out of this or became true crime podcasters.
This reads kinda TERFy now
They’re so edgy 🤩
I am SO happy that my mother traumatized me into never writing personal stuff down where others can see. There'd be evidence of my edgy phase but it was half this bad,
Lots of women play Zelda and puke at the sight of blood? So… normal girls don’t have their period, wowww I guess lol
I love how wearing hoodies was considered edgy by people
the cringe literally HURTS
Ok but like... what if I do what both "normal girls" and creepypasta girls do? Now what?
I'm sorry, but you can only be one or the other. You have to choose. Do you want lip gloss or kidneys?
Sighhh, I guess lip gloss😔
Fwee 3D Cherry Cola be upon ye.
