| What's up? Of course this is directed to older accounts in MAL, I'm definitely not the most active users here, but I've had my fair share of activity back then in 2015, when I was still in high school going college. I admit I've been part of the most awkward years in my life, I'm literally cringing on my posts back then. Now I'm graduated and having a decent job and I'm fine, not watching much anime nowadays. I'm just coming back here and there just to relieve stress and read ridiculous topics as usual. How about you? |
| i think i was on vacation or something when i created this account, it was in the middle of the pandemic. im doing better than i was, holding pretty good grades, but not watching as much anime as i was, definitely watching more movies and reading more manga and comics. |
| I just hop online when I'm bored and have the time to spare. There's some cool people around here, which outweighs all the incelposting and attention-seeking alt accounts. |
 |
| Events have led me to looping back into the same situation I found myself in during 2015. Except I'm way more confident and stubborn now. |
| When I created my account I still lived with my remaining parent in one of our homes. And well... now I'm parentless (My Mom died last year) and live by myself in a new town (I've visited here before). But yeah I'm okay all things considered, really looking forward to move to a new house in a few months time, living in this one was a pain in the ass. As for my online activity here? I still update my list, but I'm more active IRL right now. |
 |
| I made this account two years ago and... Well, nothing has changed in my life. :P |
 |
| It was a total flip flop. I made this account when I was an awkward, fat, virgin loser. Now I'm a social, skinny non virgin loser so I guess the only part of me that hasnt changed is the loser part lol. |

| - Created this account in 2008. - Spent 4 years in INPforums. - Coming back to MAL in 2012. If only INPforums was active, you won't know my account exist. I won't be active here. |
 |
| In a much better social position with actually going outside with people. I wasn't active on MAL back then though and also not that much on Internet communities, though my activities reduced again with time From my body, I feel like nothing much changed Otherwise, I think I've become more indifferent about things |

| If my memory works still I think I was a student at the time, learning about landscaping maybe even went to therapy to speak with psychologist at the time. It has been now idk 4-5 years since I visited psychologist, own a house, work full time, study at university. I come to forums still to argue since I like doing that, maybe make actual comment about animanga and shitpost. |
 |
| i just joined abt a year ago, yes a year even tho it says 2021 on my profile, cuz my og acc was hacked so yea. Anyway i think i just became a little edgy i think and definently became more of a psycho for some reason probably just in my mind or shit |

| Looking back at my posts from 7 years ago I realise that I was cool then and I'm cool now, I'm possibly even cooler now, and I don't have anyway to prove this but I'm pretty sure my penis got 20% bigger. |
 |
| I made it during quarantine to build a common interest for when I would go back to in person school but it pretty much failed since I barely enjoy anything that's popular with kids my age (check my mean score) and now I use anime to run away from social pressure and stress so yeah pretty much worse |
| I can't even remember what my life was like back then. If I recall I made this account with a friend who introduced me to anime. We don't talk anymore but I am grateful to them. Also I'm in a much better mental state nowadays then I was back when I was a teenager. |
| A lot has happened in 2 years but I think I still share some similarities with myself back then |

| 2014: 16-year-old high school dork at the height of his weebdom. Fascinated by numerous facets of the site's community and very impressionable. 2022: 23 going on 24. Doesn't watch as much anime but still loves it and has become somewhat disillusioned with the internet as a whole, despite spending most of his time there. |
Take care of yourself |
| Not much has changed , it wasn't that long ago after all , well i do feel worse and i'm not watching anime as much |
| im very unsociable with others and just looking through forums is what i do when im bored |
| I was trying to get a job in the middle of pandemic because i couldnt go to college that i wanted.after failing to get a job i decide to try to enter college again.its not a fancy college but I feel more relaxed now |
Well, I am praying that things will get better from here on out for me and for everyone in Jesus’ name, Amen. ๐  |
| i would say i'm a bit talkative now. back when i created my mal in 2016 i never even wanted to interact in the forums. |
| I'm about the same. Maybe less depressed than I used to be. But my hobbies and interests have not really changed that much. I miss being more active around here, but most of the people that I used to talk with are no longer using MAL. |
| Back in the day, I was definitely less depressed and inhaling anything anime related I could put my paws on. Club activities and card making were a major thing for me as well. That was such a nice time. Nowadays I'm just around to update lists occasionally and reply to my friends' comments. Not much is happening with my life honestly. |

| Back in 2014 I was a 19 year old bored hypebeast with a FIFA and Gym addiction Now I'm a relaxed adult in my late 20s with a nice job. (Covid kinda fucked my Gym routine though) |
| i dont know i am new here but life is really good but sometimes terrible |
| I Created Mal in Early 2018 and believe me the 1st few Weeks were best day of my life, it was also the 1st time i Talk with someone about anime Online, it was also a Break from School we have like 3 Weeks cuz we recently gave Final exams. Chatting with someone online in mal was soo cool for me in early day's,talking about animes was great..and About Right Now, i cannot put it in Words but things ain't well for now, but I'm sure I'll do fine. Tho still using mal is still Awesome. |
| I don't really remember why I made an account here. Been missing for years, now I came back because I have interest in animanga again and wanna talk to some chill peeps here. What's changed? Not much has changed since my chronic weeb phase definitely already out before I made an account here. It feels like I'm a lil bit snob when I was first here. Now I'm avoiding confrontation and just wanna talk with some peeps like I mentioned before. |

But given the lower mental stability of people that seemed to have even decreased over the SARS-CoV-2 circus, it will be rather hard to find people who will stay chill ParaParaJMo said: You're living the dream, congratulations :oBeen a member since May 2007. It was a month before my 23rd birthday. I'm now 37, living in Japan, married, and with kids. |

It's been a big toll for many people. I personally doesn't find it really concerning. I know many died here and there, I was anxious too at first, but now looking at my families, fortunately they don't suffer from the pandemic and can take care of themselves. Hope you doing fine as well! |

| I used to accept random friend requests I used to start random convos and just be generally social with people I tried to look at the better aspects of people and keep on building burning bridges and well, those don't really happen anymore. All else is pretty much the same I would say |

| I guess I'm in a better place with my life and maturity but I've had a hard fall backwards where I still feel like I'm also still IN these horrible times too. I never wanted to go back... |
| Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on. Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time. Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always. |
| I see myself in 2015, so young, and immature. I was at university excited to graduate the following year. 10 years later, here I am. I occasionally log in (tho lately I have been very active since MAL helps me distract myself of my personal problems). I have a dream job, I bought my own house, I have been married for 5 years (soon to be single again :( ). In terms of people I have met in here. They have a place in my heart, I occasionally think about the time I used to spend here with my online friends back in 2015/2016. Most of them don't use MAL anymore, but I have met people lately that I really like too. |

| I enjoy posting on here because the alternatives (like Facebook and Reddit) are much worse than MAL. |
| I have approximately 1 terabyte of anime on my computer. |
