>be me, 2005 >10 years old, had moved to a new school 2 years ago >keep in touch with old friends via RuneScape >one of their moms dies from cancer, has a mildly abusive dad with temper >go to funeral, first time I've seen this friend since I moved >he’s really sad but handling it well, we talk about RuneScape and I tell him I can help level his skills >he gives me his password >I steal all of his valuable stuff, change the password, and sell his account to one of my friends at my new school for $5 >never talked to the old friend again Mfw I realize I was a sociopath as a child

A green text 4chan-style story describes a ten-year-old who gains his grieving old friend’s trust at a funeral, gets his RuneScape password, steals his items, and sells the account. The punchline is the narrator’s horrified realization that this cruel childhood behavior was sociopathic, paired with a Trollface reaction. It is used as an absurd, darkly humorous confession about being manipulative or heartless as a child.
