Did you peak in HS ? (1 Viewer)

[Nyaz]

Signs you peaked in high school often involve an unhealthy obsession with past glory, an inability to move on from high school social structures, clinging to high school trends/style, being stuck in a "golden age" mentality (using "back in my day"), judging others by old social hierarchies, and struggling with adult responsibilities, like being unemployed or living at home, despite past accolades. It's about living in the past's echo rather than building new successes.

1. Facebook reminders are your memory lane
2. The gym is your therapy
3. “Back in my day” is your catchphrase
4. Your spotify playlist is a time machine
5. You still idolize the popular kids

Nope. And the people who tell you that your high school years are your best are lying~

people should mind their biz, honestly.
but an introspect evaluation isn't that bad by any means

Yeah, I can see how it would be "the best" for people who let their lives fall into work, sleep, repeat (a lot of my family is in that situation), but there's no reason it has to be.

Like, you can just go do things! Go to the hiking trail, find a cool fat bird, do a watercolor painting, invite friends for board games, watch all of XG's music videos in order to understand the lore better... (wait, that last one might be what I did yesterday).

Like, you don't need permission to make your life better, and that inherently makes life post-HS better.

Perfectly put! I've said it before. You are my favorite KS user when it comes to brilliant posts!

oh, heck no! the only thing that held me together was my boy band obsession (that still exists tbh but less so than before). Otherwise, I got bullied for it all four years and even into my fifth year (which I took by choice bc there were other classes I still wanted to take).

no, there was nothing in my high school that you could make you reach your life peak there. no "popular kids", no cliques, no trends... you just go to class and leave. also in my case covid happened the final year so there's that

3. “Back in my day” is your catchphrase
4. Your spotify playlist is a time machine

however i'll admit that i do it all the time

God no. High school was not fun for me
