Things you are embarrassed to own

[zombienixon 333]

We all have things we're embarrassed of, and the same goes for our stuff. What are the things you are most embarrassed to own (that you'll admit to having)? Is it something from when you were younger and didn't know any better, or something more recent?

 

In my case it's a little of both.

 

 

Some of you may recognize the album on the left. That is Metallica's St. Anger album.  When I was 16, I thought it was great. I was very stupid back then.

 

The other is the Celestia doll I got last year.  It's not so much the fact that it's a doll, but that the first Celestia doll is probably one of the worst EqGs out there, in terms of both the body and especially the outfit. It also has no feet like the rest of the early dolls. And the hair isn't as good as the later ones.  But, I will basically buy anything with Celestia, and this one came with a cute pony figure, and it was on sale.

My Little Pony Play Pack, was given to me by my friend's mom..

I can honestly say I'm not embarrassed of anything I own. I don't really do embarrassment period.

Everything you see here. Except those Earthbound figures.

[Discordian 6,024]

Are those the ones from Hot Topic? They look kinda like them. I want them so bad but they're expensive as all get out.

Does my laptop count if I'm embarrassed by what can be found in it...?

Well...not me, but my pal has a Princess Peach amiibo just so he could look up her skirt. In the new Smash Bros game, her upskirt is blocked by some black void. 

 

So I guess I'm embarrassed to have that kind of friend?

Everyone's got a secret self-written porn stash somewhere. <.< >.>

Yeah, but I don't need to worry about that. Mine's well-hidden behind 20 folders cleverly named "Not Porn"

An enormous collection of JTHM collectable t-shirts, pin badges, sketches, comics, signed comics, posters, first editions, Carpe Noctem magazines, etc. Need I go on?

 

It...was a phase.

Off the top of my head, a book by Glenn Beck that someone gave me.

 

I don't like getting rid of books, so it languishes on a shelf.

Do we really all own something we're embarrassed to own?

I don't think I do.

No, there is nothing. Sorry.

Things that are not appropriate to mention in public.

 

and I will soon be buying my boyfriend a valentine present - a large pink dog that says "I love you this much" on the tummy. That'll be embarrassing if friends and family see it before I give it to him. [family will]

Some bullshit neuroscience book I bought a few years back but have since deemed to be mostly nonsense. I was more ignorant on psychiatry and couldn't detect the issues with it at the time.

Also some cheesy poetry book I ordered recently and was very quickly regretful of lol - one poem in particular was so off the rails bad I questioned how it was allowed to be published in it. I need to give that damn thing to charity dbfbdmfnnd maybe someone else will have this peculiar preference for poetry

Funny story actually, I was about 12 when Avatar came out and a friend of mine bought it from a DVD shop and we watched it together at the time - we found it both thoroughly unremarkable and she was so embarrassed by the purchase she essentially told me to keep it. That was a whole lot of flashy effects with 0 substance...

To be honest I’m fine with all my junk. I have a lot of it and I always maintained the same conviction in owning it. I like the same stuff I’ve liked since I reached the age of reason and I’ve never changed. That may make me a bit one-note but that’s me.

My entire MLP collection. And every time it's my birthday or Christmas they get me something MLP related. And for some reason I'm still embarrassed about it.

I’m fine with all my junk too.

I probably still own some clothes that don't fit because they're hiding in the bottom of my drawer

Nothing. You could say I own everything that I own.
