Do you like yourself from 5 years ago? (2025 edition)

i hate myself from 5 years ago

No!

• Last year of my aprentice ship
• Had lived in a shitty dorm
• Had a annoying neighbor living on top of my apartment
• The dorm owners annoyed me a lot when checking in on me daily due to homeoffice to make sure we were not lazy fucks altho we could not leave the apartment ... lockdown
• I was worried about my future a lil bit since I knew if I finish my aprenticeship I need to move out of the doorm, find a new job since the company I trained in could not take you for long terms, etc.
• I got a wisdome tooth surgery in that year which sucked ass due to that in total 5 teeth go removed cause originaly I got the surgery for a misplaced tooth (if wisdom teeth have no place to grow in small mouths they can kick roots of other tooths away to make room to grow under the gums for themselfs and the tooth that got kicked out of place was under my tongue which had hurt and so the dentist recommended to get it removed, but the surgery dentist said he saw in the xray it would be better to remove the 2 half grown and the 2 not grown wisdom teeth too... so yeah)
• I lived with a roommate who was handicaped and in a wheelchair and she constantly called an ambulance for each time her leg was a lil bit cramping, so the ambulance oneday got super mad on her and it was so annoying!
• I didn't had my own stuff so the bedroom felt uncomfortable aswell as the kitchen in the dorm and the only things who had been mine were just my phone, laptop and clothes
• I started apartment hunting and it was horrible

Were they stomping and loud partying? I know that is a common issue with upstairs neighbors

No

It was a building with that style that in the middle of the house is a staircase with elevator but on each floor are 2 same floor sides when opening doors, that look like a balcony and on each one are 4 apartment doors. 3 single bedroom (so kitchen, bath, 1 room) and 1 on the outside with 3 rooms (kitchen, bathroom, seperate toilet, 3 rooms) and each apartment also has a private balcony. the building had 4 floors. Around 75% of the people living inside the building had been handicaped and worked in the building 1 minute away which was a place to keep handicaped people busy with some random work to do. The other people had been mostly trainees from the place I worked at which was 10 minutes by bus away. The dude living a flooor over me was maybe 1,45m tall and had only 1 arm and was working as one of these who bring newspaper to other people. He carried a box on wheels around with the newspapers inside and you often saw him in the bus with this thing. He was like 40-ish or so. The dude complained all the time about my apartment (me and my roomate) for claims he did that were not true 1) loud music during the week at 7am (when we already had been out to go to work) 2) washing machine on at night (no we did not use it after 9pm) 3) constant noises of moving furniture (we did not moved furniture) 4) messing up the halway in front ot the apartments and the staircase (we did not do that) and other claims. He tried to even treaten us by saying if he tells the people who run the dorm, we get kicked out. I told the dorm owners what he tried to do after he told all the lies to the dorm owners and the dorm owners just looked at me like:   before I told my side of the story and when I said my side of the story how untrue all of it is they went like: and my dormmate said she heared he did it to the people too who lived in the dorm before we lived there... it was so stupid tbh

A while pased and a neighbor from the apartment building sat on the bus stop when I came and he noticed me and asked if I was also living in the building cause he recognized me. I said yes and he asked me in what apartment I was living. He imediatly felt sorry and said nobody can live in peace who lives over or under this dude's apartment. I was like yeah its frustrating and annoying to live there and he told me how this guy, a handicaped person was threatening other handicaped people and how he bullied the dude's girlfriend who sat in a wheelchair (can't move her body, just the head) and he was so mad when telling me about all the BS he did since they knew eachother at this time for like 15 years or so and he said "If he ever says BS about my girlfriend again, than I kill him! He is handicaped too and is so rude to my GF...." he apparently told the poor woman who could not protect herself that people like her should die ... altho being handicaped himself but he thinks if someone can't even walk and use their arms they are useless and laught at her boyfriend when the BF said "but you are handicaped yourself, look you only have 1 arm so stop being so rude!" but it did not work to stop the dude from bullying other handicaped people ...

I was happy when I moved away from that building

I definitely would be nostalgic for me 5 years ago. I would have been just starting college by then!

I wish I could travel back in time and coach myself on how not to be a dumbass when it comes to college affairs. (and to have a spine when standing up to my mom in class decisions.

I love myself from 5 years ago. I started college during the time and those were my happy times

I was brave, carefree and free of anxiety with zero responsibility.
