i’d try to but they’d just scream over me
tbh i was the tie-dye wearing, happy go lucky, weird kid who thought if i dressed like and tried to imitate the way others acted i would be well liked (i was more of the butt of jokes i thought i was making) and also i was in a my little pony irl roleplay-fanclub when i was 8
so if present day me tried to say anything to 7yo me i would get slapped so fast
