Talking about a job I had a year ago. I say:
That was what made me realized I didn't belong in the business world. Or
That is what made me realized I didn't belong in the business world. Or
That is what made me realize I didn't belong in the business world.
ARe all three useable?
Thanks!

PreciousJones ARe all three useable? Only the third one is usable. "made" + pronoun + base form is the pattern, not "made" + pronoun + past form .

That was what made me realize...

PreciousJonesThat was what made me realize...That is what made me realize ...
That was what made me realize ...
Not much difference here. You can present the equality as timeless -- outside of time -- by using the present tense, or match the tense with what follows (made) in the past.
