I look at them and wonder what happened, I was quite a bit happier as a kid. But I also look at it and wonder why I was born at all. It would have been easier if I was never born, or died young

I avoid looking at myself or any photos of myself. The older ones especially. I'm my worst bully and viewing myself triggers even more abusive thoughts. Rarely I can look at myself and think "why am I looking so cute?" Then I must counteract those rare thoughts with all the horrible things. I know someone who has the opposite problem. They take 50+ pics of themself a day because that's how their loathing works. I'd surely ctb far sooner having to face myself that much. It's funny in a way.

I think that. I do it with memories too like thinking of when I was in 6th form, ( highschool for those who say that,) thinking wow you have no idea that at 18 yrs old you will take medication that will ruin your life. I am now terrified of what is around the corner because of it.

I actually don't have too much pics at all. I was never be a considered as a good looking/ cute/ adorable girl even when I was child or young girl. My mother always told me I was a super ugly person and don't deserve to be loved by anyone or any man.

Yeh I did recently and I also tend to think about the past way too much. I had an idyllic childhood but I still wasn't happy being me.

I can really relate. I get so upset looking back at photos. You can see the life in my eyes and the happiness. I don't know who she is anyone or what happened to her. But yeah , here if you want to chat :)

I sometimes look at childhood pictures. Me sitting on Santa's knee my first Christmas. My sister and I dressed in our Halloween costumes. Birthday parties with cake, ice cream, and balloons. To name just three. All taken long before most reading this were born. A very Edenic time in my life. I suppose one of the best parts was having no inking of the evils in the world or what the future had in store for me.

I lost my Google account in March and I don't have many photos of myself left on my own device but I used to look a quite often to see I was happier or unaware that it would be this way for me.

I doubt that any even exists, thankfully. I don't want to think about the past at all, I've never wanted to be here and I have no positive memories of existing. Life could never be worth living to me.

Nah, I hate that shit. Especially when someone else sends me or shows me an old photo like, "remember this?!" with a big stupid smile. I remember that day, yeah. But I will never relive a moment similar to that or be the person in that photo you're standing next to again.

When i see pictures of myself when I was younger or when I see those tiktoks about people's younger self, I feel so guilty. I feel like I somehow failed this kid. People are always like "what would you do if you met your younger self", and all I could do is say "I'm sorry". Im sorry for where we are. Im sorry for who we've become. Im sorry that youll have to go through what I did. Im sorry.

I'm on this forum mostly to find a "solution" (I'm stuck with SN for now, can't find it in my stupid country tho), but i randomly stumdled across this thread and your comment legit brought tears to my eyes, because I had never thought about my situation in this way before: I really let down that nice and happy kid which supposed to have a great life.

Not really, but on occasion when someone shows me a photo of myself as a young child, I can't comprehend how or why I was smiling for the camera despite everything that was going on behind closed doors.

Yes. I used to think I was so fat. I'd give anything to be that size again.
I often wonder what I'd look like now if I had taken better care of myself and didn't want to grow up so fast.
I hope we get a redo if we so choose so I can see the outcome if I make different choices in my life.
I'm just curious.
