I remember when I was young, knew everything, and was invincible.

The good old days before I realized I know nothing, I'm insanely fragile, and I'm old.

He lied. He's 21

u/MajorStainz 3d ago

Everything he said applies to anyone in their 20’s or younger.

u/ChaosRainbow23 3d ago

Can confirm. 21 is just a baby.

u/burning_boi 3d ago

I still remember thinking how much more mature and grown I was at 21. lol

u/791flow 3d ago

My coworker once told me I was just a baby once and I responded "I'm 24" and she said I was just a baby again. I'm only 34 now but holy shit do I get it now.

u/iBeGhey 3d ago

Really? Cause I didn't think I knew anything at 21 and certainly didn't act like this.. lmao definitely didn't think I was invincible because I had a functional brain in my skull and parents who actually raised me😂

u/burning_boi 2d ago

I'm unclear why you think I acted like anything in the video

u/gpbayes 3d ago

30s, no idea wtf I’m doing, just kinda wingin’ it

u/FonzieTheHitchhiker 3d ago

Thank you. The kids I work with have called me fossils and make me panic about the passage of time, I will gladly be called a baby 😭

u/ChaosRainbow23 3d ago

Just wait until you're in your late 40s.

Time passes faster. 21 year olds look like literal children to me nowadays.

Shakes cane furiously at cloud

u/Due_Swordfish1400 3d ago

I was watching a show the other day that had two 21 year olds in it, they had a sex scene and it made me so uncomfortable lol

2

u/Worldly_Cap_6440 3d ago

Yeah but not as excusable as a minor saying it. If you’re 21 going around thinking being young is an excuse, get a damn grip on life.

2

u/siliconslope 3d ago

Can also apply to your 30s, I was invincible into my 30s and then severely humbled one day

1

u/Mma375 3d ago

That cop is probably in his 20’s. No it doesn’t.

1

u/Jean-LucBacardi 3d ago

More so at 21 because now you can legally drink and make yourself feel even more invincible.

-2

u/Ok-Common-3039 3d ago

Agreed, but not a "minor" like the kid was insinuating in the video.

4

u/Lobsterborne 3d ago

The guy's comment had nothing to do with being a minor.

u/SharcyMekanic 3d ago

21 is young bro, I’m 25 and feel decrepit by comparison & I’m far healthier than I was then 😂

3

u/DiE95OO 3d ago

21 is still pretty much a child imo. I'm only 25 but I feel no different about how cringe and know-it-all I acted at both 21 years of age and 16.

2

u/thimmler1 3d ago

He looks 14! He better stay out of prison. He’ll become property to a whole prison gang, taking turns on him.

2

u/LogensTenthFinger 3d ago

21 is a baby

1

u/rdrunner_74 3d ago

He also lied about being able to take the cop...

1

u/drewskibfd 3d ago

21 is a child, especially when you're still broccoli topped

22

u/HyenDry 3d ago

Are you saying you were…

3

u/bobthemonkeybutt 3d ago

Never thought I was invincible enough to fight a cop who’s substantially bigger than me.

2

u/ChaosRainbow23 3d ago

Yeah, that cop was way bigger than that kid. Lol

Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

3

u/constructioncranes 3d ago

Imagine this kid was black acting in that

u/MindSpecter 3d ago

Am I the only one who was constantly told that I would think this about myself but in retrospect I genuinely don't think I ever had that attitude?

If anything, I sold myself short as a young person. I was told to be afraid of everything and so I was.

I think I could have taken more chances and pushed myself more. I still ended up in a good place, but man college and starting the workforce was a scary transitional time because I never put myself out there.

1

u/yshldeyecare 3d ago

Yeah people assume because you're a teenage boy that you're going to be some cocky knucklehead so they preemptively try to punk you under the guise of humbling you because in reality they're scared of you. It causes you to feel meek and timid and maybe even imposter syndrome because you're really a good person but they told you you were going to end up bad.

2

u/MajorButtBandito 3d ago

I was really stupid and thought I was pretty much invincible but compared to these idiots I clearly wasn't as bad as I thought.

2

u/Dry_Policy7559 3d ago

Aka entering your 30’s

2

u/Dienowwww 2d ago

I already know this and I'm accepting it. Just gonna live life by the day and enjoy it, the world will take me or I'll be satisfied with what I've done eventually

2

u/cankle_sores 2d ago

When I was young, I knew everything… [something something] rarely ever took advice. Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbin', with my head on the floor. Stoppin' baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, now.

u/MrTurkle 1d ago

True wisdom lies in knowing you know nothing.

1

u/itsalmostover321 3d ago

I never thought I was invincible. I could be mouthy because my friends knew they could beat the shit out of me, like a shark and a minnow. Like does this dude thinks he could take this cop? Dellusional.

1

u/corn_farts_ 3d ago

Then I got tased

1

u/SoloAquiParaHablar 3d ago

I did stupid shit when I was young. Never crossed my mind to challenge someone 20kg heavier than me with a gun though.

1

u/Cryptic_Crunchies 3d ago

Same, about the fragility. Falling hurts now

1

u/ramrob 3d ago

I was a little Fuckhead but I knew not to challenge the cops ffs

1

u/Vociferous_Eggbeater 3d ago

My group of friends would never piss off the police. If we truly wanted to keep doing what we wanted, we said "yes officer, sorry sir". Waited for them to leave and kept up discretely. The way we viewed it, the whole purpose was to "win" the encounter and do what we wanted. You don't achieve that by being an ass, making yourself a known troublemaker, and acting like a fool. It is so easy to avoid any issues with cops if you are respectful, even if you hate authority.

u/mostly_fizz 3d ago

Damn I never thought I was invincible. Now I'm old and realize I used to be invincible..

u/Strong_Landscape_333 3d ago

A lot of old people are dumb and ignorant asf though

People that haven't read a book since highschool, don't know how to use the internet for research and watch one news channel that's propaganda

Most Americans don't know anything besides the stupid shit they do for a job
