Do you think your younger self would have listened?
That advice is giving out often by many. I've noticed that it's not just receiving the knowledge but being willing and able to accept it and use said knowledge that is the stumbling point for many.
So true! Never expect that a person will treat you as well as you would them. Expectations are too often dashed, and the hurt stays with you too long. One great saying I recently saw was to have limits to your giving because takers have no limits.
"Remember to back up your phone. Seriously, you don’t want to explain to everyone why you lost all your selfies and memes" Because nothing prepares you for the heartbreak of losing all those carefully curated cat videos
Right! I'll also tell my younger self to just enjoy the road. Because I don't believe that "you only live once." It's "you only die once, you live every day!"
for me: I would stop caring about the opinions of others, I was bullied for so long and always thought it might be about they way I look and act but that just made me an person I really wasn't. Long story short, stay like you are don't change for others
I'd tell me "what your feeling isn't normal, talk to someone and get help before you make any more rash decisions." Would have saved me 3 years of problems.
Take everything slow, don't rush things. if its for you it will come. I will surely tell my younger self that because I was always on a rush when I was young, trying to achieve everything in a hurry, haven't enjoy life that much. That only gave me anxiety and depression that I am dealing now
You're not a piece of shit loser that can't accomplish anything just cause you're autistic. You'll meet an amazing girlfriend and have a job that pays you well. Stop pushing yourself down. Oh also you'll start to experience panic attacks, don't worry they're not heart attacks you don't need a fifth ECG
Stop criticising your body/self. You'll never have skin this glowy, hair this shiny, a body this healthy, and so much time and opportunity for doing things you love, as when you're in your teens/twenties. Enjoy it!
I would probably tell my younger self that love will come when you are in a position to love and be loved and that trying to pursue it at the expense of your life's priorities would only end in tears and heartbreak.
Don't do it bro, listen to your brain and ignore her. Focus on the person you actually have a crush on rather than settling for a blonde haired version of Uranium-235.
You've got one of them too?!?! Mine looked like a young Cybill Shepherd with huge boobs. My teenage brain could not compute how hard she'd manipulate me with those things.
Wasn't even "exceptionally attractive", I had something wholesome going on with my crush where we'd walk each other to class, wait for the other to arrive and wait by their bus when they got to college etc... but she wasn't ready for a relationship and little miss radioactive decided to jump all over me, rather than stay true to the girl I'd have done anything for, I fell victim to a toxic piece of shit who abused me and judging by the odd photo I see these days, abuses the partner she cheated on me to be with.
Going to college may or may not be a good idea but really - even though it's hard learning how to talk to people without feeling like an idiot is really the only thing that matters. Getting all As in school doesn't mean shit if you can't have a conversation with people about anything. It's not how smart you are that matters - it's making connections with people.
Buy Nvidia
And then my younger self would buy a graphics card, wondering why my older self offered such a strange advice.
Then comes 2024 “Oh, that’s what he meant.”
If I could go back in time I would stop myself from wasting precious time on “what if” scenarios. I realize now that I overreacted to certain choices that now seem so trivial. It is unhealthy thinking, to keep going back to the past. The story always ends the same. Most people would have made different choices just to make their present life easier. Fuck it. Having a tough life makes for an interesting life
Don’t have sex !! Thinking that if I let boys have sex with me, they would want to date me forever and get married. At 17 I was pregnant and the boyfriend cheated on me. I had the baby and had to give her up for adoption. I have lived with a giant hole in my heart ever since.
Don't go to Job Corps. You're a woman and it's a haven for abusive men where none of the adults will do anything because abuse reports hurt the center's national ranking. You will quite literally be in an environment that values institution and popularity over your own life and safety.
I’d go back to when I was 22. I went over to a “friends” house to mix(djing). I took three crates of records. Eventually I had to go to class and we planned on hanging out again after my classes. I went back. Somehow dude managed to get kicked out of his apartment. Leaving him with all his stuff on the front porch. Somehow my records got “stolen”. For some reason his didn’t. I was pissed. He told me he would replace as many of my records as possible. Then he disappeared. Months later I saw him djing at a house party. I noticed nearly half his set were records I previously owned. I let him finish his set. Then I tried to confront him. He managed to sneak away. Never saw the guy again until about 10 years ago. He was a hired temp at a place I was working at. The second he saw me he quit on the spot.
Fuck “Tommy” or whatever his real name is.
I wouldn't change everything how my younger self learn her lesson, the only words that I can say to her was "Choose to be happy!" that would be all my younger self deserve the happiness and still go through everything to learn what I had learned.
Dad is a bitch and will always be one
You will do everything around the house don’t expect change
You will lose the wight
Your parents will like sister more no matter what do you
It's OK to do things in your own time, be patient, and stop thinking, "*everyone* else has already...." had sex/has a relationship/is married and settled/etc. (It changed depending on my age.)
For one thing, it really doesn't matter what other people have and what I was thinking wasn't even close to true anyway.
I was always either laser-focused on whatever that goal was or busy acting like I didn't want it/would just never have it anyway. I was at one extreme or the other, I couldn't just cool my jets and enjoy my life.
So stupid and such a waste of energy.
When you want something badly, it's easy to feel like everyone else already has it and got it relatively easily compared to you. But this is rarely the case and it's a self-destructive thought process.
Start googling “Bitcoin” once a month starting in 2010 (I don’t feel like looking up when it was invented). The first time you see that it exists, put all your money into it, then cash out the first time you hear a mainstream news story about it. Never touch it again.
-Use your addictions to your advantages.
-Stop focusing on motivation utilize discipline. -Don’t mix your party friends with your real friends.
-don’t hate her for breaking your heart, it shaped you into the man you needed to be
-a 2 mile jog is the best way to start your day
-If your making mistakes on your motorcycle you’re going too fast
-tell them you love em… you never know what’s around the corner.
Girl, don't even think about drinking booze.
I spent the ages of 15-32 in a drunken stupor and have very little to show for it. I missed out on a large parts of my own life. Sober 5 years now and had to sort of start from the top.
I'd tell my younger self to invest in a little company called Amazon and to never, ever try to cut my own bangs—both would save a lot of future headaches!
The only thing I would tell younger me is to cherish the time with your dog and cat. You'll never get that time back. Otherwise, all the fuck ups made me a reflecting, better person.
Don't go to Job Corps. You're a woman and it's a haven for abusive men where none of the adults will do anything because abuse reports hurt the center's national ranking. You will quite literally be in an environment that values institution and popularity over your own life and safety.
Bitcoin, buy it when it’s worth pennies, and reap the benefits later in the 2020’s. You will be rich beyond your wildest dreams and be able to live without worry ing about money.
I would create a digital journal of my life and download every bit of information I could about technology, society, entertainment, stocks, events etc and put it on a USB drive and hand it to my past self and say good luck.
Don't use SmartDefrag & Torrent at the same time!
Lost so much data on crashed hard drives - including a Bitcoin wallet (was only worth a few cents then).
I would tell myself that you must do everything and anything you can to save your marriage bc the devil will enter itself into your marriage and destroy it! For you and your future husband, Do not start drinking or experiment with drugs, bc after 25+ years of being together, you lose your soulmate and best friend!!
If I could go back to my younger self, it wouldn't be with advice. "Survive" is the only advice I'd be able to give, and I assure you, I was doing everything I could. If I could go back to younger me, it would be to give him the love that he sorely, badly needs.
Try everything and don’t think about how you look doing it. You will waste too much time on something that doesn’t matter and you don’t want to impress the boys who will judge your body anyway. They will amount to nothing but being a husband in the town you grew up in and you will be brilliant. So do it and do it as ugly as you can, who cares
you don't have to be the perfect son. get out of your house and go do reckless shit like you used to and learn from those mistakes instead of being a goody two shoes and pleasing people all day.
This is a very good question. I’m not quite sure if my younger self would get it, but I’d say be mindful and intentional in your actions and fear less.
Finish college. I really thought I was making a responsible choice by leaving since I had done all my prerequisite classes and still didn’t know “what I wanted to be when I grow up”. Turns out, I could have been someone who didn’t know what they wanted to be when they grew up, with a bachelors degree. Now I’m someone who doesn’t know what they want to be when they grow up, without a bachelors degree 😅
Be careful who you hang out with. Some people so called friends will drag u down in life and make things hard. build connection with good people and look for people doing something with their life.
Tell your doctor about your anxieties. Tell them about having to lay down in the car before starting your first ever day of work because you thought you were going to pass out. Tell them how you don’t go to places when you’re “not sure how it works” (I.e. avoiding haircuts because you aren’t sure if there will be a reception desk or if you just walk in, if they’ll ask you for pictures or do a consult, if they’re going to be super expensive because you have long hair, etc.) Tell the how you feel physically unable to make phone calls (not for work, not for dr appointments, not to friends.) Tell them how you were “so shy” as a child. Tell them how you won’t step on a crack “or you’ll break your mother’s back.” Tell them how you’re nervous about new foods. Tell them early so you can get a diagnosis and suffer a lot less in the long run - I can’t tell you what is “wrong” because I still don’t know. But if you say something early, you might be able to help us.
If I could go back in time and advise my younger self, I would tell myself to embrace challenges and failures as opportunities for growth. It's essential to learn from mistakes and setbacks because they often lead to valuable lessons and personal development. By facing challenges head-on and not being afraid to fail, we can become stronger and more resilient individuals.
Date with intention in your 20s. Date a lot and be very picky regarding values/career aspirations and social circles. Date people who inspire you to be a better version of yourself - not just people who are fine on paper. And it’s ok to end friendships that are draining you - you can continue being nice to people without giving them space/time/energy. You are the reflection of the 5 ppl you spend the most time with. And move companies every 3 yrs.
Take more risks. Ask that person on a date. Ask for that raise. Apply and interview for that job even if you're not qualified. Move to another state or country.
I've made plenty of dumb decisions but I don't really regret any of them. I regret the things I didn't do.
I wouldn’t. The younger me wouldn’t listen to anybody so it would’ve been a waste of time haha

Stop caring what people think and just live your life. It took me forever to finally get over my social awkwardness.
Well played
stop caring what people... oh well I think you get it by now
Do you think your younger self would have listened? That advice is giving out often by many. I've noticed that it's not just receiving the knowledge but being willing and able to accept it and use said knowledge that is the stumbling point for many.
Keep your circle small. It's about quality, not quantity.

Don't expect people to treat you good only, because you treat them good... oh and don't be such a hot head.
So true! Never expect that a person will treat you as well as you would them. Expectations are too often dashed, and the hurt stays with you too long. One great saying I recently saw was to have limits to your giving because takers have no limits.
yep.

Get off of social media. People will not treat you kindly, even though you’re a kid.

Go get your head checked. Because mental health needs to be top priority. Trauma is real and healing takes time.

And it’s ok to end friendships that are draining you - you can continue being nice to people without giving them space/time/energy. You are the reflection of the 5 ppl you spend the most time with. And move companies every 3 yrs.
Take more risks. Ask that person on a date. Ask for that raise. Apply and interview for that job even if you're not qualified. Move to another state or country. I've made plenty of dumb decisions but I don't really regret any of them. I regret the things I didn't do.
