So, I wish I had the screenshot of this exact encounter, but a few years ago I made a big long post on an advice subreddit asking how I could better connect with some people in my friend group.

I had typed it all out after consuming quite a bit of Mountain Dew, so at the end of the post I said something like “I apologize if I’m not making any sense with this, it’s late at night and I’m kinda on a sugar high”.

Some probable neckbeard then came into the comments saying that I probably shouldn’t even have friends due to my “immaturity as evidenced by using a sugar high as an excuse” or something like that.

My self esteem was really low at that point and since I had been shielded from criticism for most of my young life I really took the criticism way too seriously and nuked my entire year or two year old Reddit account as a result.

Thankfully my self esteem no longer is at that “midnight zone” of a low point, but yeah. I always thought that story featured a pretty prime example of a Reddit moment so I thought I’d share. Thanks for anyone reading this, hope you have a good day out there 👍🏻
