You don't miss AIM, you miss the feeling of being in high school

I’ve been thinking about this, and my conclusion is that if anything, it was more about chatting one-to-one on a computer with a keyboard (rather than something you can stick in your pocket and ignore) than anything else.

It’s like what my therapist recently told me - “you don’t miss your old ex, you miss being 22”

I remember the brief few years when Skype was my instant message platform of choice. After AIM, before Discord/other.

Gonna bet dollars to donuts that OP graduated HS between 2005 and 2007
