idk, probably like 5 or 6? unless you're talking about nocturnal emissions :^)

your age when you think you will die
Achromalia
maybe around 82 years old.

your age when you think you'll give up on osu due to varying factors in life.
Penguin
Probably once I get my degree and get into the fire academy. So around 24 or 25? I won't ever willingly choose to leave this community, I love every bit of it. Life will come one way or the other and I will slowly grow apart from this place and all the people I got to know so well. It's very unfortunate, but that's how life is.

Your age when you think you will move away from your immediate family / whoever you live with now.

Achro pls.

I'll just use the previous q. I think I might go for rank in the next year or two, so maybe 21 or 22?

17

i stayed in a house with a group of some of my closest friends for a week and that whole time was the first time i had ever felt that kind of joy in my life.

your age when you had your first “im not a kid anymore” realization
ERA Puzzle
Uhhh. I dont even think I've had that yet. Or at least, I might've. It's just not been a singular moment. Its been a really slow, gradual thing. I still can't really shake the feeling. I feel the same, internally, as I did when I was 16. Maybe slightly more mature and knowledgeable, but it doesnt really feel much different. But I can legally consume alcohol now, and that's cool. Kind of abusing that.

Same question. Curious about other people's responses.

13. I was put in a special needs school for primary school but did well in PSLE, which is a national exam at the end of primary school. Students with the highest scores get first dibs on where they would like to go (schools with higher cutoffs were "better"). So I went to one of the top schools in the country (not really a flex because there's only about 150 secondary schools on the island) and, of course they had high expectations of my academic performance and behavior. So I learned to stop being a kid.

Your age when you decided what your future profession would be, or when you would decide if you still haven't.

22. It was just last year. Until then I wanted to be a theoretical physicist, or maybe a marine biologist. I love science. But the study required to get to those points I did not enjoy. Now I know I want to be an artist and I work hard every day to achieve that. Couldn't imagine doing anything else. Every other job or occupation seems exceptionally boring with a few extreme exceptions.

Your first leadership experience?
ERA Puzzle
Hmm. I probably had some at younger ages, but my first real one was 16. I captained a fairly serious league of legends team. It taught me a lot actually and I was really happy with it. Super enjoyable experience. It helped me understand that I really like leading/helping people when I can. I think that's a bit of why I have such a strong drive to be successful. I want to be able to teach and help people.

i don't recall. probably somewhat early on, though it was still somewhat frowned upon.

my best guess is when I was 9 or so. i think i became a bit more free with what i said later on, perhaps around 12, especially when shit went awry in life. i just had to express how fucked things were somehow.

age when you first made genuine friends
Achromalia
i don't recall. i couldn't tell who was genuine or not. it all just... happened. i moved on.

i don't think very many people actually felt i was that great of a person back then, for whatever reason. maybe i just think of myself as shitty person in general. all i had been known as in elementary, was the smart math whiz and teacher's pet that was oxymoronically idiotic beyond words.

anyhow, i do know that many of the friends i've made that i know and trust for certain were made back in what i call "hell".

the poor little middle school that us unfortunate souls stumbled into. somehow, there were some really nice students.

then i met some people. i found people i could talk to and genuinely be comfortable with, in mutual terms.

You discovered a hobby you currently most enjoy.
Tad Fibonacci
5 years old.

It was when I think I played my first video game. It might've been earlier but I don't really remember.

Same question.
ERA Puzzle
It really depends on how specific you want to get. And I'm not even sure what hobby I enjoy most. Guess it's a tie between drawing and playing games. But even then it's like do I count specific games above others? And the reason I like playing games is my main drive for playing them, so should I answer that?

If the answer is art, 22. If the answer is games, 6. If the answer is being competitive, which is why I play games now and what really drives my gaming as a hobby, 12. When I discovered Osu I was like 16. League, 14. Archeblade 17, I think? Not really sure on that one. Might be 18.


Same quesh.
Achromalia
Hard to tell.

Music and art were never things I saw as hobbies, but they may be fairly commonly cited, so I'll go off of that.

primarily, art. i dabbled in music casually but never cared to do much with it until later on, when i was 9 or so. i then developed an affinity for it by age 12.

but art was somethin' i enjoyed and worked with for a long while, often drawing out of boredom on blank textbook and workbook pages in the middle of class while still in elementary school. i'd tear out every blank page I could. so as far as drawing, i'd say that mostly began when i was 7. the extensive variety of terrible doodles and even worse penmanship were especially memorable and indicative of a time where i just couldn't get my hands off the crayons and pencils.

your age when you first found the internet?
pundice
~4. I'm relatively young (13), so the internet has been out for my entire life. I remember my first memory of using the internet, and it was in my old house in Mexico, and I was sitting on my mom's lap as she explained the very basics of a PC. I was very advanced for my age at the time, so I understood it all, and ever since then, I've been addicted.

My question is a double question - your age when you found osu, and your age now?
Achromalia
i'd been around 13 or so. i'm 16 as of now.

age when you first had an interest for the arts?
CatzerTM
perhaps around the time I started high school, around 12 I would say

your age when you first developed strong hatred towards someone/something
Achromalia
myself, i guess. 12. i got tired of myself. instead of wondering why things happened to me, i more or less became introspective and thought about how i may have affected something.

I was maybe in 4th grade, so about 9-10, when I hated my dad. I was young and didn't know what hatred really was. I don't believe in condoning hatred anymore.

When you first had suicidal/deathly thoughts
Achromalia
I don't think I ever had incredibly strong suicidal feelings. I frankly didn't care enough to kill myself.

But it'd be possible.

That was when I had been 13, 14 or so.

Now I prefer to just wait until I die, for the sake of at least being able to experience something. Life's kinda nice, even if it's terribly agonizing as well.

Carmlillball
This is quite an uncomfortable question, but I'll take it, I'm kinda bored.

I used to get them when I was really young, I'm thinking around 8, due to mental health issues.
However, now these issues are improving, I'm really optimistic about life.
Not quite used to this, but I enjoy it all the same.

Question: If you play a multiplayer card game by yourself, and a 'player' (which you play) won (meaning that all the other 'players' you play lose), did you win the card game, or did you lose it?

Don't remember my exact age as it's been forever since, but I was between 6 and 9. As a kid, I was doing light athletics and our club would enter competitions sometimes, ended up getting first place during one of those. I have no idea how I won though, I was always good at running, speed and stamina, but don't remember being particularly good at the other categories. I wonder at what age kids usually start being affected by nerves / selfawareness, because I remember that back then, I was feeling as if it was any other day, no pressure, no nerves, but I also didn't understand what it meant when I won and probably didn't understand what it meant to compete, either (which is probably why I felt zero pressure and maybe gave me quite a big advantage), I was happy though since everyone from my club was happy for me, I remember that.

I think I was 13-14. A sorrowful yet happy memory, as it was the first time in my life I felt free and not bound by responsibilities and expectations. Sorrowful, because the person who made it possible moved away and we never got to truly say goodbye.


You realized your purpose in life
ERA Puzzle
Ah... I don't really recall when I decided all of reality was a pretty subjective thing. It was a slow process that probably took from the age of... 17 to like 20? I don't know. But that was kind of when I decided what my purpose was.

SQ
Achromalia
no real answer, i guess.

i just kinda move on without any particular purpose to live. i don't care to die, primarily. i feel i have no good reason to die other than relieve others of the burdens i weigh on them.

as pointless as life seems to me, death would be equally as pointless.

i just want to see what i can do and create. maybe it'll be nice. perhaps i'll actually enjoy what i wind up making, and i could actually manage something decent.

otherwise, i'll just live it out to the end to see what happens.

if i die, i suppose i don't really care. i'm dead, so i'd be incapable of doing so.

- - -

SQ. it's an interesting one, perhaps someone believes they do have a purpose. an intriguing position being that you can make your own purpose in life, that it's not necessarily to be realized, rather, just something you make of it on your own terms.
samX500
I am not sure but ever since I was 16 (am 18 now) I have been starting to think about myself and this thinking brang me to the realization that there is no absolute purpose in life and that life simply cannot have an absolute purpose if you believe that we are just some organism that semi-randomly evolved into the human kind. The only way for your life to have a purpose is if you decide to give yourself one but we aren't born with one.

SQ
Kyomaku
Probably when I was 22 or 23. Around that time a close friend told me that he views his time spent as meaningful as long as he's enjoying himself. I've been going through a lot of hardships and setbacks and still am, so I've often felt depressed, thinking about how I get older and older without much real progress in life, so that view helps me quite a bit, as long as I'm having fun and enjoying my time, I haven't "wasted it". I guess you can always set goals that you want to achieve and you can make accomplishments, but at the end of the day, all of that turns into a memory the second it's gone past, after that, the only thing that is left is how you feel. If you enjoy thinking back and can draw continuous happiness from past achievements, that's great and gives them more meaning (from my perspective), otherwise they'd just be time killed and you could have done litereally anything else, too, unless it of course affects your future in a physical way, too, such as a better job, a relationship, etc.

Here's the twist though, I do think everyone has one general purpose and it is meaningful, which is to leave something behind for future generations. You're born into a family with infrastructure, set up by your peers and are able to enjoy your life thanks to their prior and continuous work, I think it's only fair to not waste their efforts and ensure that your future generations (your own offspring maybe even) can have the same, or an even better start into their life than yours.
