I mean, I don’t think I was wrong about everything. I think I got some things (many things) right early, but the way I expressed them or defended them or lived them was a little obnoxious. For example, I’m still an atheist/agnostic, but I was that kind of atheist that cannot meet a religious person without pointing out the contradictions and absurdities of their beliefs. That hurt people, sank them into existential crises, and then I understood my method was excessive and could cause harm. Those kind of things are the ones causing the “yeez…”/cringe from the meme (for me).
Am I the only one that doesn’t have that experience. I’m 30 now, and when I look back, all I can think is that I was right all along.
