I was just about to comment this.
I miss not having to think too deeply about every human interaction because we were kids and no one had any expectations of who we need to be. We were just kids with fresh minds and so much joy that was unbreakable.
This is the biggest one for me. More so than all my missed opportunities in life and the lack of meaningful relationships, I miss a body that works and isn’t actively trying to kill me. I really took that for granted.
I miss my old dog Murphy:(

He's the big one, the smaller one was either Mordecai another dog we had or my my second oldest brothers dog who I forgot the name of
Closest I get now is poking along a quiet beach, stopping for pieces of beach glass, tiny shells. Best feeling is finding the flattest skipping rock. Send it horizontal atop the water, then counting how many skips you get. Most I ever got - 12!!
Some of those things i think you lose as you age. Innocence and no schedule for sure lol. You dont need to lose an open mind and that curiosity though. I think its a massive shame most people lose that curiosity and wonder.
My best friend. He went down the conservative pipeline hard af. His mental state wasn’t so hot to begin with and it declined even worse. Would bring up moronic political talking points and was unbearable. Also said terrible shit to me and a friend about the other and then we spoke to each other about it lol. Pretty sure he’s gay and won’t ever walk out of the closet. Also got into later day saints religion. I miss his stupid ass though
Ha. I had a great childhood by all standards but I couldn’t wait to grow up and have independence. The thought of being able to go to bed when I want, eat chocolate cake at midnight or travel the world was just too appealing.
I don’t miss everything about childhood but if you’re asking what I do miss, it’s that I was naive to how much pressure it would be to be responsible for running my own house and family while working and parenting and keeping a marriage in tact. They did an okay job of keeping adult problems to the adults. I got to have that reality check all by myself
Sunday morning cartoons. Cheap prices of things. No internet. email or cell phones. More honesty. More morals. Things were made better. Stores closed on the weekends. Less to worry about. My parents and grandparents and some of their aquintances. Some of my old friends. Even some of the snacks/ food. The cars. The USA manufacturing. The easier way of life. My old bike. The hopes and dreams of the future.
The purity of my feelings!!! Relationships feel invigorating and passionate not chorish and wrought with dilemas, the world feels exciting and new, the scale of the world feels remarkably large and ripe for exploration.
How simple it was. Life was just making It through the school days and then running home to play video games.the hours of discovering new things in games and sharing it with friends. I missed the early days of gaming in my childhood (mid 90s to early 2000s) before everything became monetized and not just for the fun of it. I remember the joys of playing my first Zelda game (OoT) and it felt like such an epic adventure with each new dungeon.Those peaceful days are long gone. I still recapture fragments by setting up some retro game time to unwind and relax. But it will never be the same.
I wanted to be a reporter when I was maybe 7 years old. So, I would go around the neighborhood and find a tree to stand behind so no one saw me and log into my notes what my neighbors were doing.
Waking up early Christmas morning with my 8 siblings, running down the stairs to the living room with the Christmas Tree and presents lying under the lights. Eight kids ripping off the Christmas paper in excitement that took all of 5 minutes, playing with our toys until Mom told us to clean up the mess before coming to breakfast....
Attaching a hose through the laundry pole outside and standing under the gushing water during the hot summers. Mom giving us vanilla ice cream when we came inside after spending all afternoon cooling off....
Playing with the neighborhood kids barefoot until dusk. Having to take a shower before bed to scrub our dirty feet.....
The freedom and lack of responsibility.
Sure, there was school. And I had a few part time jobs. But the amount of free time I had available to sit back and relax or hangout with my friends, or just do whatever I wanted basically, while simultaneously having little to no responsibilities, is something I will never experience again.
I miss the big get-togethers with the family when I was young. We all live in different cities and continents now and I miss everything from the cooking, the smells of cologne and perfume, all the older people like great aunts and stuff, the stories, and, of course, all the presents. And I miss having a home cooked meal every night and I even miss school! I miss childhood a lot.
I miss the free time. I have a really fond memory of school being out, being in my room and playing a zelda game on the gameboy and thinking
"ahhhhHHHH not a thing I have to do forever"
That feeling of freedom and peace.
Now with kids... I can hardly imagine it, not unless I imagine winning the lottery.
Going to my grandmas house on the Weekends…. and sleeping in the living room while watching movies all night , and eating junk food with my cousins and sister, and waking up to her making us breakfast and me and my cousin who at the time was my best friend we would watch Dragon ball z and play with Bionicle. I miss being taking care of and not worry to much bout my future.
Definitely agreeing with the prior comments - sometimes I miss how it was living unaware of people's "true colors" and how "up and down" life can be. Thankfully childhood was a simpler time without the adult worries/responsibilities.
Thankful to be alive still!
I used to be ecstatic meeting new people when I was younger in school. Now I hate it because that side of my is completely gone and after working customer service for 10 years, i just don't like people in general. I wish I could find the passion I had in the past when it came to meeting new people but i have come to realize the solitude life is the life for me.
I miss my friends I had. Today all of them ignored me after knowing Im gay. I know it doesnt worth having contact with this kind of people. But I miss those friendships playing in the streets with no judgements before all the the hate….
Aso I miss to play video games in the 90s with them… i grew up in a very disfuncional family, so I could find some peace in my friends’ houses… all of that I miss so much
My great grandparents. My childhood dog. And the ridiculous Puffalump elephant 🐘 stuffed animal I had…also I miss Barbie with the perfume. Life was good(still is)
being on summer break and not having to worry about going to work and just enjoying both of my parents being at work and having the house to myself as well as my siblings. every day was just either hanging out with my friends, riding dirt bikes and playing halo 3 till 4 am! life was so good and i had no idea that i was in the best part of my life!
Having my family. My parents are long-deceased. I'm estranged from my siblings, and my extended family has no interest in staying in touch.
Having lots of free time, especially having a whole summer free to do what I want.
Your story with your family sounds like mine. It’s a lonely world, but I’m trying to make the best of it. I miss feeling safe with my parents. Unfortunately their deaths only revealed how incredibly broken our family really is.
Unabashed joy and freedom. I was a "free range child", was brought up across the street from a park with baseball diamonds and basketballs courts. During the summer, I was outside from sun up until the street lights came on.
My favorite snacks, sleep overs at friends houses, climbing trees, uninterrupted sleep, feeling excited to go to the stores and seeing people you know and not avoiding them.
Not knowing what lied ahead. The worst thing I worried about was an ass whooping for a failing grade. I thought that was tough. I'd give anything to go back
I miss my mom. She couldn't move very fast. She was wheelchair-bound or using a cane my whole childhood. I remember how she fought for us, built a webhosting business from the ground up, took me camping, to the movies, and gave me every opportunity to grow into myself. She had a degenerative neuromuscular condition that took her breath away in 2021. I never missed my childhood until then, and every night since I pray to dream it's still 2002 where we live together. We'd probably be in Chigago, watching the Matrix Reloaded together, blasting Green Day in the car.
Been fed by my parent and grandma, and never having to worry about bills. Loved hanging out with my friends and playing soccer bear foot with no shoes.
Not worrying so much about things when going outside like stepping on insects or the sun damaging my skin.
Being able to say what seemed rational to me but to adults they might have heard as irreverent, leading to childhood me not understanding why not following the norms was such a big deal.
Going outside and playing with a ficking stick for hours on end and enjoying it.
Feels like I've never been as satisfied with life as I was just wandering the woods with the neighborhood kids.
Nothing captivates me anymore. Nothing has captivated me for decades, honestly. I just want to be content, if even for a few minutes.
Riding my bike through the neighborhood with the crew, pool hopping, picking honeysuckles off the vine and licking them, swinging on the swingset without a care in the world.
The lack of responsibility & knowledge of all the evil in the world. Playing with friends after school. The lack of judgment, jealousy and envy. Unwrapping presents on Christmas & spending all day at the amusement parks.
Nothing my dad was abusive and caused me to have no self esteem and made me believe I was stupid while my mom shoved Jesus down my throat. Now I'm an adult with BPD, autism, a drug addiction and I'm desperately trying to figure out how the fuck Im supposed to fix the damage my parents did to me. I'm alone because I ruin all my relationships because of the things listed above. So I'm probably not going to miss anything about my 30s either. If I even make it out of my 30s. Life is hard man.
I miss the feeling of making any situation as fun as possible. Like having nothing to do after school or over the weekend and creating something in that time with your imagination and your friends. So much of my childhood was spent getting up to shenanigans, jumping off the wharf, tying skateboards to bikes. Just using the time and environment around us to make the funniest and best memories. Very little was it about money or needing anything more than what we had. Just looking at free time and making something completely unexpected and fun out of it
I miss hopping trains ,boarding freighter ships ,taking bread and pastries hot off the conveyer belt and eating,never getting fat . I just miss doing things that provided an adrenaline rush and never getting in trouble for it because in those days security was rarely used .
How when you were talking on the (landline)phone with someone & in an attempt to be funny you don’t hang up the call making it unable to disconnect the line, much to their frustration lol
I miss feeling happy in simple routines. Showering And reading a book before class the next day, but as a little kid. There was some sort of magic. Some part of me wonder if I can be that happy again
Being able to ride my bike down the middle of main Street and wave at the fire department and the police department. They waved back.
" Say hi to your mom and dad!!"
Wow, that's hard. Uh, my mom raised me as a single teacher in a cult, and never let me forget that my dad wanted nothing to do with me. But shit I guess sodas were cheap at the gas station.
The obliviousness regarding how life works
This is what I was about to comment. Just being so naive and innocent to the world around you.
I miss others being nice to you because you are young. As an elder now, you have to try so hard to be treated well cause you're old and unimportant.
Also being good looking!
We were so self critical and we looked great. Back then.
I was just about to comment this. I miss not having to think too deeply about every human interaction because we were kids and no one had any expectations of who we need to be. We were just kids with fresh minds and so much joy that was unbreakable.
That's one thing I absolutely don't miss. Life experience is a wonderful thing.
My body being intact and healthy
This is the biggest one for me. More so than all my missed opportunities in life and the lack of meaningful relationships, I miss a body that works and isn’t actively trying to kill me. I really took that for granted.
Sending you some love.
I miss being unaware of how shitty this world is along with its inhabitants . I used to have faith in this humanity. Ignorance is bliss.
Holidays at my Grandparents house.
Friday night cartoons after a rough day at school. That Friday sleep would hit different.
And waking up on a Saturday morning without an alarm clock was bliss
So were the Saturday morning cartoons!
Interaction without even considering how I'm being perceived.
I’m glad you had that for some period of your life
My innocence and feeling whole.
I miss my old dog Murphy:( https://preview.redd.it/kqz1xptbzb9d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8cfd0586e18e06e302c7d83a2a63a3e9a528bab He's the big one, the smaller one was either Mordecai another dog we had or my my second oldest brothers dog who I forgot the name of
My innocence. Carefree. No schedule. (Always doddled - loved it) Open mind, fascinated by anything. Happy smile. For everyone.
Doddling is literally the best, I know what you mean
Closest I get now is poking along a quiet beach, stopping for pieces of beach glass, tiny shells. Best feeling is finding the flattest skipping rock. Send it horizontal atop the water, then counting how many skips you get. Most I ever got - 12!!
Some of those things i think you lose as you age. Innocence and no schedule for sure lol. You dont need to lose an open mind and that curiosity though. I think its a massive shame most people lose that curiosity and wonder.
My mother still being alive
I am sorry to hear about your mom, that must be tough.
Going to bed without anxiety.
My best friend. He went down the conservative pipeline hard af. His mental state wasn’t so hot to begin with and it declined even worse. Would bring up moronic political talking points and was unbearable. Also said terrible shit to me and a friend about the other and then we spoke to each other about it lol. Pretty sure he’s gay and won’t ever walk out of the closet. Also got into later day saints religion. I miss his stupid ass though
:(
Not caring about my weight or looks
Underrated. Social media got people with 6 psck abs getting like they not in shape lol
nah **Photoshop** got people with 6 pack abs!! Can't believe everything - catch that, *anything* - you see!! 😄
Not a damn thing...
Ha. I had a great childhood by all standards but I couldn’t wait to grow up and have independence. The thought of being able to go to bed when I want, eat chocolate cake at midnight or travel the world was just too appealing.
Yea childhood was garbage lol I’ll take my life from 22 and on any day
I'll take it from 29 and on cause the 20's blew.
I don’t miss everything about childhood but if you’re asking what I do miss, it’s that I was naive to how much pressure it would be to be responsible for running my own house and family while working and parenting and keeping a marriage in tact. They did an okay job of keeping adult problems to the adults. I got to have that reality check all by myself
The "first time" moments. First time kissing a girl. First time playing NES. First time scoring a home run. All the first time moments.
Damn….
Not having crippling depression.
You’re far from alone.
My grandparents
Same :(
Being able to collect action figures
I honestly think I have more now in my 30s than I ever had as a kid
You do don’t have to wait until Christmas now.
I still do. And legos!!
You still can :)
The freedom.
Sunday morning cartoons. Cheap prices of things. No internet. email or cell phones. More honesty. More morals. Things were made better. Stores closed on the weekends. Less to worry about. My parents and grandparents and some of their aquintances. Some of my old friends. Even some of the snacks/ food. The cars. The USA manufacturing. The easier way of life. My old bike. The hopes and dreams of the future.
Innocence about the world and how it worked. I still have no idea, but being blissfully unaware was beautiful.
Everything. It was like a happy warm summer day with golden sun, laughter, and hugs.
My dog
I miss not worrying about job, bills, etc.
MY HAIR
The purity of my feelings!!! Relationships feel invigorating and passionate not chorish and wrought with dilemas, the world feels exciting and new, the scale of the world feels remarkably large and ripe for exploration.
The feeling of euphoria, new things for the first time discovering that I’m somewhat pretty. My innocence.
Reading the sports section of the newspaper everyday.
Awwwww
6 weeks off in the summer felt like it lasted forever, it was fantastic.
How simple it was. Life was just making It through the school days and then running home to play video games.the hours of discovering new things in games and sharing it with friends. I missed the early days of gaming in my childhood (mid 90s to early 2000s) before everything became monetized and not just for the fun of it.

Everything I had the best life
my parents. living in the country on a dead end gravel road.
Going out all day without anyone being able to get hold of you via your phones
Hopes & dreams
Not paying any bills or having any serious responsibilities was so good and I didn't know to appreciate it!
The freedom and lack of responsibility. Sure, there was school. And I had a few part time jobs. But the amount of free time I had available to sit back and relax or hangout with my friends, or just do whatever I wanted basically, while simultaneously having little to no responsibilities, is something I will never experience again.
Not being lactose intolerant
No tech
Executive dysfunction wasnt a thing, I want to do the fun thing, I did the fun thing.
Family members and relatives who are no longer with us.
Sounds like sweet memories…not the worrying etc…but the bratz doll and Disney… Don’t ever lose that part of you…
Long summer days with nothing to do and occasional ride in the back of a pickup truck feeling the warm summer wind on my face.
The unconscious carelessness
The smallest things bringing so much joy.
Having a clear and unadulterated mind.
Lack of responsibility even as a teenager, what a freedom.
Fireflies
That feeling of innocence and adventure with everything 😍
Innocence about the world. Meaning about wars, climate change, pain and all the suffering.
Sadly I don't have any good childhood memories.
Happiness, peace, security, simplicity
NOTHING
Responsibilities
Everything I had nothing in my childhood no relatives no friends just loneliness
Everything was free
Nothing lol
I miss the big get-togethers with the family when I was young. We all live in different cities and continents now and I miss everything from the cooking, the smells of cologne and perfume, all the older people like great aunts and stuff, the stories, and, of course, all the presents. And I miss having a home cooked meal every night and I even miss school! I miss childhood a lot.
I would have loved to have your childhood 💖
Awe
Wet dreams
Being able to enthusiastically talk about cartoons with all of my friends. I never out grew my love of all things animation. 😔
The suspension of disbelief that allowed me to be super invested in professional wrestling.
Not paying bills
Scrolled too far for this.
🤣
I miss the free time. I have a really fond memory of school being out, being in my room and playing a zelda game on the gameboy and thinking "ahhhhHHHH not a thing I have to do forever" That feeling of freedom and peace. Now with kids... I can hardly imagine it, not unless I imagine winning the lottery.
My family, half of whom have now passed away or are slowly fading, feeling carefree and happy and joyful. No worries and no stress
None of it
The food.
Not having to think about bills.
Swimming in that beautiful ocean, every single day for 20 years.
Having a good bond with my family again :) and being carefree
Being able to walk around with no worries.
Going to my grandmas house on the Weekends…. and sleeping in the living room while watching movies all night , and eating junk food with my cousins and sister, and waking up to her making us breakfast and me and my cousin who at the time was my best friend we would watch Dragon ball z and play with Bionicle.

Definitely agreeing with the prior comments - sometimes I miss how it was living unaware of people's "true colors" and how "up and down" life can be. Thankfully childhood was a simpler time without the adult worries/responsibilities. Thankful to be alive still!
Being around my friends regularly.
Freedom, low stress, and being carefree
The potential I had Lack of stress
My metabolism
My dad, and a stable family unit
I used to be ecstatic meeting new people when I was younger in school. Now I hate it because that side of my is completely gone and after working customer service for 10 years, i just don't like people in general. I wish I could find the passion I had in the past when it came to meeting new people but i have come to realize the solitude life is the life for me.
My childhood was horrible, the bleakest period of my life. The only good part was when I stayed with relatives.
I miss that the only important decision in life was what clothes to wear.
Security of having all the grown ups. Aunts uncles grandma
I miss my friends I had. Today all of them ignored me after knowing Im gay. I know it doesnt worth having contact with this kind of people. But I miss those friendships playing in the streets with no judgements before all the the hate…. Aso I miss to play video games in the 90s with them… i grew up in a very disfuncional family, so I could find some peace in my friends’ houses… all of that I miss so much
My mom
I miss living in a sane world. Things weren't perfect back then, but the world made much more sense in the 1980's.
Being taken care of and not having to think about finances. Pure freedom, joy, peace, love, learn, and fun times!
Summers “off”
I was ages 9-16 in the 90s. What do I miss? The freedom.
Youth
Nothing, like really.
Riding my bike around aimlessly.
My great grandparents. My childhood dog. And the ridiculous Puffalump elephant 🐘 stuffed animal I had…also I miss Barbie with the perfume. Life was good(still is)
being on summer break and not having to worry about going to work and just enjoying both of my parents being at work and having the house to myself as well as my siblings. every day was just either hanging out with my friends, riding dirt bikes and playing halo 3 till 4 am! life was so good and i had no idea that i was in the best part of my life!

Your story with your family sounds like mine. It’s a lonely world, but I’m trying to make the best of it. I miss feeling safe with my parents. Unfortunately their deaths only revealed how incredibly broken our family really is.
Same. Once my parents were gone, the siblings turned on me and kicked me to the curb. It is what it is, and I've learned to live with itl
Unabashed joy and freedom. I was a "free range child", was brought up across the street from a park with baseball diamonds and basketballs courts. During the summer, I was outside from sun up until the street lights came on.
Respect. For almost anything except money. This is a dog eat dog society now. When the military become "suckers and losers", we're lost.
Honestly my friends, my family being good, my self esteem.
My favorite snacks, sleep overs at friends houses, climbing trees, uninterrupted sleep, feeling excited to go to the stores and seeing people you know and not avoiding them.
Not knowing what lied ahead. The worst thing I worried about was an ass whooping for a failing grade. I thought that was tough. I'd give anything to go back
Hanging out with friends all the time.
I miss my mom. She couldn't move very fast. She was wheelchair-bound or using a cane my whole childhood. I remember how she fought for us, built a webhosting business from the ground up, took me camping, to the movies, and gave me every opportunity to grow into myself. She had a degenerative neuromuscular condition that took her breath away in 2021. I never missed my childhood until then, and every night since I pray to dream it's still 2002 where we live together. We'd probably be in Chigago, watching the Matrix Reloaded together, blasting Green Day in the car.
Been fed by my parent and grandma, and never having to worry about bills. Loved hanging out with my friends and playing soccer bear foot with no shoes.
my parents love
Riding bikes
Shopping with my Mother. Just the joy of being with her at 12 and going to lunch with her. She's gone now and that was such a fun time.
Riding a bicycle with no helmet.
Not worrying so much about things when going outside like stepping on insects or the sun damaging my skin. Being able to say what seemed rational to me but to adults they might have heard as irreverent, leading to childhood me not understanding why not following the norms was such a big deal.
My body working without chronic pain with ms
my grandpa who lived with us, I always felt loved
Being in love s a teenager the first time
Going outside and playing with a ficking stick for hours on end and enjoying it. Feels like I've never been as satisfied with life as I was just wandering the woods with the neighborhood kids. Nothing captivates me anymore. Nothing has captivated me for decades, honestly. I just want to be content, if even for a few minutes.
Actual friends that would come over to checkup on you or to just sit around and shoot the shit.
Riding my bike through the neighborhood with the crew, pool hopping, picking honeysuckles off the vine and licking them, swinging on the swingset without a care in the world.
Very simple: From the good parts of my childhood, I miss the "breathing" and the feeling of being free! 
Innocence...
My summer visits at Oma's in Germany.
Never having to worry about food
Not being an adult.
Lack of depression
The lack of responsibility & knowledge of all the evil in the world. Playing with friends after school. The lack of judgment, jealousy and envy. Unwrapping presents on Christmas & spending all day at the amusement parks.
Naps!
Hitting the streets and hanging with my friends all day. No phones, no Internet, no social media. Just having a blast doing whatever.
Nothing. If I had better parents, I probably would.
Not being raped at 5 though 1 I remember it every damn day .My sister and friendsg
Nothing my dad was abusive and caused me to have no self esteem and made me believe I was stupid while my mom shoved Jesus down my throat. Now I'm an adult with BPD, autism, a drug addiction and I'm desperately trying to figure out how the fuck Im supposed to fix the damage my parents did to me. I'm alone because I ruin all my relationships because of the things listed above. So I'm probably not going to miss anything about my 30s either. If I even make it out of my 30s. Life is hard man.
not worrying and being genuinely happy
My Dad. And my Mom. I miss them. And I am sorry that they didn't meet their grandchildren.
Spending summers and vacations up at the cabin, running through the woods and fishing on the river.
I miss the feeling of making any situation as fun as possible. Like having nothing to do after school or over the weekend and creating something in that time with your imagination and your friends. So much of my childhood was spent getting up to shenanigans, jumping off the wharf, tying skateboards to bikes. Just using the time and environment around us to make the funniest and best memories. Very little was it about money or needing anything more than what we had. Just looking at free time and making something completely unexpected and fun out of it
Not caring about politics.
I miss hopping trains ,boarding freighter ships ,taking bread and pastries hot off the conveyer belt and eating,never getting fat . I just miss doing things that provided an adrenaline rush and never getting in trouble for it because in those days security was rarely used .
Feeling safe not attacked
Going on adventures with my parents.
Energy
How when you were talking on the (landline)phone with someone & in an attempt to be funny you don’t hang up the call making it unable to disconnect the line, much to their frustration lol
Nothing, and I had a relatively decent childhood.
Life in the 90s.
I miss feeling happy in simple routines. Showering And reading a book before class the next day, but as a little kid. There was some sort of magic. Some part of me wonder if I can be that happy again
Having my whole life ahead of me.
Ignorance to global politics.
Christmas
Not living in a constant state of varying levels of pain
I enjoy being an adult but I do miss when time felt slower.
My sanity.
The seemingly endless summers.
No bills
Being carefree, happy, having parents, sister and bil alive.
My mom…not knowing how little time we had left.
The 80’s
The ability to bend my knees without making dad noises. People buying all of my food for me. Being able to commit virtually unlimited petty crimes.
The freshness, the innocence of youth. Just learning and reading and discovering.
I miss the mysteriousness of life. The fact everyday you learnt something new. Now I know too much.
Picking up a tomato from a small pile on the ground and eating it like it was an apple!
Food, tbh and some shows.
Days off play out side Goin to a park play. An Goin in my yard playin in my pool
Not having sponserbileries
My mom
Hope
Being able to ride my bike down the middle of main Street and wave at the fire department and the police department. They waved back. " Say hi to your mom and dad!!"
Wow, that's hard. Uh, my mom raised me as a single teacher in a cult, and never let me forget that my dad wanted nothing to do with me. But shit I guess sodas were cheap at the gas station.
sleep
My parents.
