The average human being's happiness peaks around age 12. You will never be as happy as you were at age 12.
Good thing I can't remember shit
That was the year before Covid for me
>>546136434Yeah same, 2019 was bliss. Luckily I spent covid in rural bumblefuck iowa where the restrictions barely touched us
>>546136042nice AI image. funny it added noise to make it look "real". what a joke
>>546136042Grim, my kid turns 13 this week and I can already see it.
>>546136636entering the teenage years and liking girls (best case scenario) literally ruins you
>>546136042Ignorance is bliss.When I was 12, fresh off of 9/11, a mortally-wounded America started fighting desert blood feuds for oil in Iraq, I was blissfully unaware of the impending currency collapse and widespread enshittification of society writ large, because Melee on Gamecube was so damn good.
>>546136434>>546136561Zoomies, I...
age 12 was alright but I'm liking my 30s more desu.Right now I'm 34 and it's great.
nah my peak happiness was 21. in college, social, working out, in charge of teams in my major, dating and fucking a lot, smoking weed and playing bloodborne in my living room with bros in my dorm. it was great. when i was 12 i was being fucked with in middle school or something, it was gay
>>546136042I am more happy now even when i spend 10 hours in work. Parents don't bother me with their bullshit.
>>546136744what is great about being 34
>>546136042Elementary school+Middle school, aka 10-14, are really the best years of anyone's life. It's all downhill once you enter high school. Yeah you get more freedom & more independence as you get older, but comes at a cost of more responsibilities.
So be it.
>>546136042>1999Yeah that was a pretty great year. People were freaking out about Y2K, but I was 12 so I didn't give a shit.
>>54613674434 is terrifying. It's right where the inescapable degradation of age starts to become impossible to ignore. It's actually more tragic because you can still trick yourself into feeling young some days which makes the days where you realize you aren't that much more demoralizing
i didnt feel happiness until i was 21 and drank for the first time
>>546137219just accept that you're getting older and go about your life what are you a faggot
when I was 12 I was already wasting my life in the basement playing games and watching anime
>>546136042I'm a way happier than I was when I was 12. Wtf are you talking about?
>>546136042Held my first grandchild.Pretty sure I’ve never been happier
>>546136042speak for yourself i was being physically and sexually abused ages 6-14
>>546136042I still ride a bike, so I'm still happy. :)
>>546136042Sure, if you aren't getting beaten and /or raped.
>>546136042I was significantly happier both before being 12 and after being 12. Being 12 sucked.
>>546137837>you are currently posting on 4chan with literal grandpas
>>546137934How common is male rape in the US? It's seen alot in media and also some irl cases. Pic rel.
>>546136042
>>546137969Heckin' wholesome if you stop to think about it.
>>546137876You're a girl?
>>546137876This, what do people experience in childhood that makes them so happy?I listen to all these people go on and on about how good their life's used to be and I just think... damn man really? Like you enjoyed anything? I have long stretches of the 90s and early 00s that are completely gone from my memory. Anything that comes back from there is just horrific. I see these people talk about childhood and I'm completely puzzled by what they considered childhood.
>>546136042I was miserable at 12 and much happier 2 decades laterMy parents were retards and I had to teach them everything they know now, so I upgraded my whole ass family
>>54613604212 in 1993. We took a school trip and had McDonalds. In a proper McDonalds, not a grey box. Just waiting for a bus was like being wrapped in a blanket of love compared to this shit.
>>546136042I was miserable growing up, my parents hated me and taught my siblings to hate me. We moved so often that I never got a chance to make any real friends. I got married at 21 so that would be the happiest year of my life, i'm 40 now and absolutely content.
>>546136042Shit if that's the best it gets after how much I was considering suicide at that age then man, I maybe should've just gone through with it back right when I just graduated high school.
>>546136042that's probably trueprobably the best period of my life was being home schooled and finishing my work and going fishing every day at the park
>>546136042Anecdotally speaking, middle school was the worst time of my life.
>>546136042Joke's on you, I've never been happy.
12 in 2007>playing outside in the woods>riding bikes to 7/11 and getting slushies>halo 3 splitscreen with friends on a CRT>grandma still alive>childhood dog still alive>pizza hut tasted good and you could get snapple in a glass bottle>the world still had mystery and wonder>no smartphones>the internet was for avgn videos and gamefaqs guidesI miss a world that doesnt exist anymore
>>546136042My parents got divorced when I was 12, thanks bro I forgot when>Double Christmas and double birthdaysbecame a thing, shit was cash, my mother even moved interstate so I got to >Fly on a plane as an unaccompanied minor!!!Fuck, good times
>>546138071I loved school trips so much
>>546138283Fucking A. I remember the science centre, the one dinosaur thing, the bowling alley, the amusement park, the provincial park, the farm, the apple orchard, the police station, the cross country skiing trail, the winter carnival... And no camera. No pressure. Just living in the fucking moment, knowing there was pizza or burgers for lunch. It was like 2, maybe 3 school trips per year, loading into the bus, driving for 2 hours to the city or whatever, life was fucking good.
>>546136042Yeah, because being an adult in this world fucking sucks ass. Mine peaked at 10. It”s been all downhill ever since.
>>5461360421990 was before the diversity of today. You young people cannot even imagine how much worse it has gotten since then.
>>546136042i was a miserable and neglected 12 year old. my thirties are the happiest time of my life because i have a loving family of my own.
>>546138555>>546138548I really feel sorry for the kids growing up in the niggerfied panopticon. It was a completely different world. I don't know what's worse though... to have known it and lost it or to not have known it at all.
>>546136042DuhSometimes I wish I could be an ignorant normie. Being online from a young age unsupervised and over 20 years posting here has ruined my fucking life. You aren’t supposed to know so much about the horrible things going on in the world.
>>546138555>1990The 1990s felt like eternal spring.I will never forget these times.
>>546138837https://youtu.be/IlEdx7N8lqU?si=wDEhjwBwfkYXKqjC
>>546138837Yeah, same here. I do believe that humans just have the best time at 12 physiological, but the country objectively has gone to shit since then and diversity is the main cause.
>>5461360421999 was 27 years ago... Hell of a time to be alive it was, my biggest worries were trying not to get caught fapping and wondering if the girl up the street had a BF.
>>546136042True. Once you enter high school it'll only get worse from there.
I was 12 in 1999. I remember sitting at family PC on new year's eve waiting for the clock to roll over at midnight because the Millennium Bug was supposed to cause planes to fall out of the sky. In 2026, planes still fall out of the sky but now there is video footage of it happening :D
>>546138235As was I>Had a great summer, first kiss in our community pool>I split 7th grade, switching middle schools on the opposite of our fairly small white town, socially it was pretty fun and chaotic going from one friend group to the other>browsing the internet all night with friends on our PSPs>Mtv/vh1/cable was still good and relevant >Divorced parents, gamecube/PC at moms house, ps2 at dads >Prime runescape and habboMaybe right op cause I had it pretty good , 9-10, Freshman highschool and freshman college were good carefree times too. At least the second half of my twenties were a lot better than how my first half went.
>>546138188This.I was sabotaged by a mother who over fed me, teased in school, reclusive, and just didn’t like all the mainstream things everyone else liked. That alone made high school awkward as well. I literally had to LARP as a normal teenager in my early 20s as a theoretical redo.The only good thing about the late 90s and early 2000s was digital entertainment.t. Got fucked with hard because I wasn’t a skater kid in the 2000s and took zero interest in Nirvana and CKY.
>>546136042I guess I'm not average then. 12 was about the most miserable time of my life. Everything got way better when I got older.
>All these people who had the perfect suburban life with a sports hobby, girlfriend at like age 12 or 13, early sex, going to parties as teenagers, and plenty of social outings in large groups.I had none of that.
>>546136561>>546136434Fucking same
>>546136042Nope my life when I was 12 sucked, 70 to 90 where peaks.
