Do you ever go back, look at your old comments, and think, "Wow, I was an insufferable twat back then?" I do. I sometimes feel great shame when I look at them.

i still am

We all are, sometimes.

Dude yeah

Yes

I go back now and then to re-enjoy the ones that make me go, "Yup, perfect comment."

this basically, eh?

I normally check the first page that is shown but rarely go past it.

I've noticed that I'm being less and less emotive and talkative...

Yeah, I hid most of my first comments, shameful. Trying to do actual thougt comments than, well stuff.

only time I get embarrassed is when I go trying to fix a problem with tagging or sumtin and I TOTALLY missed something in the image that actually makes whatever I said completely incorrect.
usually makes me wana dig a hole and hide in it.

Don't look at it as how much of an ass you were. Look at it as how much you've improved.

I do. I also look at it as how far I've come over the years.

Definitely. I mean, I know that somehow I used being that person to get to being this person...but that doesn't mean I like every phase I went through along the way. Some of it is so far removed from how I am now that I just want to say "that wasn't me". Sometimes I delete it if I can. But other times I figure it's no worse than anything else out there. If it was stupid and someone can't see past it, well, they're gonna fall for far worse than that sooner or later. They'll learn eventually. On here though, there's only some minor cringes right now. That sort of thing takes time to feel that differently about it when you look back.

Yeeeeep....

Well im still fairly new here. But i will one day

I've done it before on other social media. 'Tis always a fun thing to do from time to time.

I do when I´m bored

I worked hard to be the twat I am today.

No because I always lurk any site lot before posting, I knew e621 since its inception but only registered last year.

I remember that time that i made a comment that i regretted on a forum about making comments that you regret . . . wait a sec.

Eh... I've always tried to be as friendly as possible. There's no comment I recall I could feel ashamed for... except for some of my first comments ever on the internet, of my currently deleted DeviantArt account... So. Much. ENGRISH.

Wow, that's some hardcore lurking! Isn't that about six years of lurking? I don't think I could do that. *is mildly impressed*

I was a stupid twat in the past. I like to remind myself about that time so I can keep myself from being too happy. I don't like myself enough to allow myself lasting joy of any kind.

Or now, with necroposting a month old post that never got past page 1.

Well, a month is not as hardcore like bumping a two year dead forum.

I never said I wasn't still.

Actually, I frequently re-visit my old comments.
Insufferable twat? Heck no! I recheck my comments to remind myself of what a complete badass and cool guy I am. The ones with a score of 10 or more give me ego boners.
Nine times out of ten I put a fair amount of thought into my comments for this very reason.

Not so much for this site, but I do the same on most other sites that track comments. Makes me feel really self centered though :P

If you think about it, it does fit with the thread's topic, though.

Yes, and each time I wish I had a time machine to go back in time and slap myself for it.
