How much have you changed since joining TamaTalk?

[Eternal Mametchi Fan]

Title says it all. In what ways are you different from when you first joined TamaTalk?

 

[Eve_Requiem]

The whole reason I got back into Tamas was because I had remembered loving them as a kid and I was battling some serious depression. I joined Tamatalk because I wanted to make sure I knew everything I could about tamas, but then I really loved the community! Since joining again, I've overcome most of my depression and tamagotchis have actually really helped me. I also have a loving boyfriend, 10 more tamagotchis than I started with, red hair, and a goat.

It makes me feel like I'm not alone. I'm glad I came here.

 

[BlueCheeseMonkey~]

I've change ALOT. Both in good and bad ways (but probably more of the bad...)

 

[-melody-]

Well I just joined. Can't wait for new experiences!

 

[~DreamButterfly~]

I think a changed a lot. Before I was really immature and had horrible spelling and grammar, but now I've become more mature and yeah. I came here with 1 tamagotchi and now I have 5.

 

[Nazotchi25]

I was once immature, slow typer, and somewhat bad with grammar.

I started a flame war once way back when. Years ago now. I still feel bad about that.

 

[Awkwardo]

I came here after just having finished freshman year.

Today, I have several more Tamagotchis, a driver's license, a job, and shorter, more colorful hair. Perhaps most importantly, I've got several great friends that I first met on TamaTalk.

Last year, I went through some form of existential crisis and it really helped to log on to this site and talk with people.

I found out what I love since joining this site, though I'm not sure that's due to my joining the site or more due to gaining life experiences in general.

I like to think that I've grown from the person I used to be, although of that I can't be entirely sure.

and a goat.

Lucky. Goats are wonderful!

I used to be so lame https://www.tamatalk.com/IB/statuses/all/?member_id=197252

I probably still am

Well, for one, I don't sign off my posts with like five emoticons like I used to

I joined TamaTalk at the young age of 10, when I was just learning what seemed to be "cool" on the internet

Now I am 19 and I know better I guess

I joined in '08 under PrincessIchigotchiTamagotchi1777 (yay for unnecessarily long usernames) And I am not much more mature and I don't use near as many emoticons or post really stupid things anymore. I also don't post unnecessary topics, XD (some of you may remember those)

Also have aged 6 years.

New pets, driver's license, etc.

It's great to hear how much everyone has changed, and can't wait to see how our old members have changed and I can't wait to see how our new ones will develop!

 

[x.//StoryTeller//.x]

Well first off I was eleven years old so that's definitely something

Tamatalk brought me into my weeaboo phase but then all my weeaboo friends here left and I was alone so TT definitely taught me that you can still be alone even on the internet

...You know I remember a topic like this a long time ago and I said something like "I use cool smilies like XD and now I'm random!!!" and I cringe at that memory

 

[Eternal Mametchi Fan]

- I used to never use text speak and always use good grammar... not anymore

- I used to a super drama-causing attention-seeker (and still am sometimes XD)

- I had about 10 Tamagotchis but now I have almost 70

- I'm not depressed anymore

- I'm fatter

 

[Pauly]

When I joined, I was a young person with a laptop and a few skills. Now I'm a young person with a different laptop and a few more skills. Nothing special about me in particular happened to change me. I've matured naturally by learning, working, and making new friends.

 

[ForgottenUsernames]

Back then...

I forgot about Tamagotchi.

I didn't have a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

I was 12.

I dunno, really.

 

[Rainbow Dazz]

I've changed WAY too much to write in one post:

First friend

First best friend

First enemy

Turned 9

My family got a house in New Zealand

Turned 10 (double digits)

Lived and went to school in New Zealand for 6 months

Turned 11

First proper exams (SATs and secondary school entrance exams)

First mobile phone

Hit puberty

Started secondary school

First boyfriend

12th birthday

First break-up

Through TT, I got into Minecraft, anime, MLP, Pokemon and a lot of other stuff

13th birthday

Aside from all that, well, I haven't changed at all really I'm slightly less random and annoying than I was 5 years ago when I joined, but "random" and "annoying" always have been and always will be top of the list of words to describe me and I'm not as nice as I used to be, but in a good way; I don't let people push me around like I used to. That's really the only major change in my personality since I joined TT.

Oh man... Where to begin! A lot has changed over the years! I first joined tamatalk back in 06 when i was 11 years old. I was quite immature back then, the way i use to type! Oh man it's embarrasing. Back then i was obsesses with tamagotchi's. My friends at school and home use to own tamagotchi's and we always use to connect. I stopped playing them in 2008 and eventually grew out of them. However recently i found my v4 and decided to get back into them. They don't have the same feel as they did back then.... However they are still fun to play with and bring nostalgic memories!

I'm more chill and it's hard to anger me.

I follow the rules more... I think.

I use more fabulous avatars nowadays.

Bringing back this one particular childhood interest opened a lot of doors for me. Through tamagotchi I found a love for lolita fashion, it revived my love for crafting, I ended up teaching myself to be a decent photographer just by taking tamagotchi photos, and it pushed me even further into the world of anime. Before TamaTalk, I hated pink, I loved mainstream fashion but mostly wore t-shirt and jeans, and I was a very negative person. Tamagotchi helped me discover kawaii culture and all together has helped me see how much better it is to be more positive. With all of my new interests and skills, everything came together to even make tumblr a healthier environment for me, and my blog became much higher quality too! Now I have over a thousand followers and a sponsor! I definitely have Tamagotchi to blame for that.
