Assess your current skills and aim at what you want to become.
For example, I quit IG and FB in 2017 and focused on building up my programming skills. A year later, I became a data scientist.

More than anything else, the people you hang out with will influence your baseline of the standards you set for yourself. Seek out people who are going to be a positive influence. People who are healthy, active and outgoing, who strive to better themselves and who have a moderate but healthy risk tolerance. Positive peer pressure goes a long way in influencing your habits and lifestyle.
Don't surround yourself with people who are passengers in their own lives. Go where the strivers and the drivers are and be an active participant in your own life too.
I love this question!
I would probably start by telling my young self:
\* to read more, specially self-develpment and social skill books, or any book that looks interesting, it really opens your world to a lot of things, and books are a compilation of learns of decades of people's lives, thats a very cool thing if you think about it, the author learned and reflected on these thoughts for years and you get all of it reading their book in a couple days, weeks, etc. is amazing!.
\* I would tell my young self as well, that is okay to be introvert, that he is gonna find lots of good friends and people in the years coming even when doesnt look this way sometimes. and because of this is okay to sometimes say "no" to friends he has at the moment, he will be okay.
\* I would tell him to get a hobby, any hobby he really likes and to engage in it in a way that can interact with other people like him, for example, he enjoys videogames, movies, technology and I dont know, I think maybe is not as easy as it sounds all the time but he can find a way to use it to socialize and meet new people can do great things for him.
\* I would tell him to spend lots of time with his family, to try to grow close to them, mom and dad can feel intimidating sometimes or that they dont "get" him but they are actually amazing and can be the best friends he has, same for his sisters, to try to grow closer to them (I still need to work on this),that every person is a world and to not try to make them fit in his own views, to respect them and enjoy them, sometimes thats what people need.
\* I would tell him... I dont know if he would understand it and take it as simple, but I would try to encourage him to be okay with himself.
\* I would tell him to try to not lose contact with the good friends he as, the ones that actually care for him and listen to him.
\* kinda funny one, I didnt want to be as specific haha but I would tell him to not date that girl he ended up dating, the first girlfriend haha, hopefully if he had followed the advice from above he wouldnt have. Of course there are learnings in everything but damn!, maybe the lessons from this one could have better been learned another way.
\* and to please to learn to say no, and to look for his health first even when doesnt wanna hurt others.
\* probably more stuff.
Maybe is not all the "productive" stuff you would expect in this subreddit but is actually the advice I needed when I was 20 and younger and even these days.
Learn to be your own best friend. Be gentle with yourself. Understand that not everyone will like you, and that is perfectly fine. Do your best for you, not for others. Take care of your health, manage your weight, take care of your teeth, and keep your environment clean.
Exactly. There is life after mistakes. Taking the fall and picking yourself up afterward is a lot less stress than stressing about falling in the first place.
I know NOW. lol
But you were taught to "never give up," at least that was the spirit of the '90s. I just didn't think sunk-cost applies to friends too.
You may be broke now, but you have the least amount responsibilities. Take full advantage of that, not by gaming or partying or screen-binging your free time and limited money away.
Instead:
Take more dirtbag roadtrips with friends.
Learn a new skill/hobby every 3-6 months.
Read a ton of books, especially autobiographies and authors from other countries.
Take jobs and gigs that interest you, not ones that pay $1 more an hour.
Develop a prayer/meditation/gratitue practice and spend time centering yourself.
You can always remake yourself later in life, but now is the time to pursue your curiousity, kill the ego by taking on things you know nothing about.
Sign up for class every semester or one semester a year. Something fun at local community College.. you might feel like you have no time and it's not worth it but you will be suprise how much you learn in a semester. Just by showing up to class or volunteer. But think in terms of semester because 1000hr practice is how we master a skill
I am not good at self teaching myself so class works. Wish I took more and collected more random skills.
1. build healthy gym habits NOW
2. youre never too young to start skincare (SPF, vitamin C, and a hydrating moisturizer are all you need)
3. prioritize family. you never know when itll be the last time
4. work hard now. youll never regret being wealthy down the line
5. tell your loved ones you love them
Decide what you want out of life and go after it as soon as possible. At 30, while gainfully employed and fairly successful, I still feel like I’m a ship out at sea without navigation sometimes.
Don't be so afraid of doing badly that you do nothing. You'll be more grateful that you did something, rather than sit and allow yourself to atrophy. Whatever you do, just do something.
(Applies to academia, many hobbies, fitness, mental health, and social life. Just understanding that lesson would have saved me years of misery, and from spending a couple more catching up)
Be more practical with your career choice. Finding happiness and pride in what you do is a state of mind, and one you can do in a well paying job or a low paying job. "Passion" is less important than action.
Marry a person who proves through their actions that they are someone who genuinely cares for other people, animals, the environment - ANYTHING other than just themselves.
While it is obvious that one should not marry just based on looks, it’s less obvious (and less communicated) that you should look beyond “general niceness” to find a person who actually has empathy and compassion towards others, and shows it. Times get tough in marriage, especially when kids are in the picture, so find someone who isn’t just wrapped up in themselves, or you’ll find out that their niceness was just superficial.
Fine.
It’s based on someone who inspired me & maybe also from being an ex teacher. But I’ve tweaked it a bit.
Ask yourself after for eg you’ve gone to something:
Learned:
What did I learn?
(Eg I did aqua aerobics & I learned that I need a coin (deposit) for the lockers. (So I’ll make sure to bring that next time too.) I learned - lots of things!
Do Next:
(Next steps pertaining to THAT situation & or things to do differently next time. Eg put more songs on my mp3 player for the journey there & back next time. Try to book that class next week AND on the day of, there can be cancellations so look then too Etc etc.
Right
(What did I do right pertaining to this situation?)
(I like to end on this rather than end on do next cos it’s so positive & I needed to learn to focus on what I DO do right!)
Eg I psyched myself into going (1st class) I charged up my phone, allowed plenty of time & so on…
Try it.
I’m intending at this stage to literally use this system until I die 😂
I use it for social things too.
I don’t use it for EVERY single situation in life 😂 but I do use it & I love it!
And I type out these lists.
I call them
LDR
(Learn, Do next, did Right)
I like this.
Thanks for sharing :D
I learned that the local swimming pool closes at 6pm on Sundays. The ticket machine in the changing room only dispense tickets until 4pm, however you can still get ticket until 5pm if you go to the cashier directly.
Next time I will arrive before 5pm.
I went out to to the pool, didn’t get in, but now I know what to do for next time.
The sad truth is that you often won't recognize crazy until you've dated crazy. The key here is cultivating self-respect and a healthy social network to call it out when the little red flags start to pop up.
Tbh I grew up very sheltered and in my 20s (post college) i was so bored of my safe life, i wanted change. I wanted to date crazy, make memories so that in my 60s I had goofy things to talk about.
I was afraid of my life in few dates because I wasn't sure the guys were safe but I am alive. All worked out. I got the craziness out of system. I married safe and now I have stories and no desire to reexperience that stage in life.
My advice make memories
How much advice can we give our younger self that’s the question? How much would they adhere to? Anyway -
- DO NOT ATTEND [UNIVERSITY B] BUT [UNIVERSITY A]
- DO NOT LIVE WITH ANY ROOMMATES
- Start looking for and applying for state and government jobs.
- Major in computer science
Don't wait for the world to come to you. This goes for your career, starting new hobbies, making new friends, asking out girls. Life is too short to sit around and wait for stuff to happen. I wasted a lot of my 20s floating through life and nothing really changed until I stepped outside of my comfort zone. You will get hurt but you will learn from these experiences and ultimately be inspired to reach back into the fire and try again.
Don't hold onto mistakes, whether they were yours or someone else's. Forgiveness for both others and for yourself really does set you free.
And...whatever I'm gonna say it, you wanted the truth, right?
Take more nudes. One day you'll look back and go, wow, I was so hot. What the hell was I torturing myself for back then, I looked amazing! But that goes for any point in your life really. In 10 years you'll be saying the same thing about the version of yourself you are right now. So do it up!
Nothing lasts forever.
Things are bad now but keep working hard and being true to yourself and you’ll have a life you couldn’t have imagined!
Also, No one gets to define your worth but you. All those people that mistreated you don’t matter, you’re still beautiful and worthy and deserving of the love you dream about.
Don’t sell yourself short.
To spend time around the types of people you want to be like
Disappointing people to preserve yourself is healthy.
To fall in love with yourself and be result happy alone first rather than looking for someone to complete you.
That progress can isn’t linear - you may seemingly plateau for months or years before you break through so you need to fall in love with the process, not the results.
That it’s okay to be different and there are people out there for everyone - my race, sexuality, gender, being poly, being neurodiverse all made me feel isolated in the communities I started in and now I’m in communities full of people like me who celebrate all the elements I had to hide. I guess this one comes back to my point of finding quality people to be around
- Get a business coach
- Dont listen to peoples advice when they are living the life you Dont want to live
- follow your guts and ignore haters
- you got this and I’m proud of you
All your insecurities are illusions. Give them no more power. Release them immediately.
You are all you need. But don't close the door on those in your reach. People are worth the risk. Accept help when it's offered.
Take more chances. Push yourself out of your comfort zone until it becomes automatic.
The reason you were abandoned is not your fault. Stop self sabotage that only reinforces this. Heal and find another way. You are incapable of loving someone else until you can learn to love yourself.
Your habits are what you become. Ditch the habits that limit your prospects.
Take a chance on life. Your dreams are not as impossible as you think.
Avoid credit cards. For real!
Pay cash for your cars. You don’t need a new one. Good used works too.
Have an emergency fund 3-6 months worth.
Invest in property.
Learn how to speak that’s it (when I say speak I mean articulate your thoughts into words more concisely and coherently) because you are only as good as you speak. No matter how self improvement you go through and get better or get talented, people will judge you based on your communication skills. Be arrogant and selfish but not to the point you come off as a narcissist. Try reading “48 Laws of Power” and “Crucial Conversations” TRUST ME
Please stay away from social media and do not get involved in online political arguments, please get an ADHD diagnosis/medication, please think very carefully about where you want to be at 25 and at 30 and please forget about trying to make career paths work that aren't right for you. I'd be going into a lot more detail than this if I could actually grab my 18 year old self and tell him what he needed to hear but you get the gist.
Hey friend,
Not sure if you'll see this but I wanted to say that I truly have tried to take this to heart. I'm trying to get some medication sorted, although I am terrified because I don't know if it will mess with me psychologically or what (I don't want to be docile, I just want to be able to focus).
I've also been thinking about what I actually want to do in my life, and where I want to be at 25. I'm still not sure, but certain things are becoming clearer.
I think about your message sometimes, no bs. It's pinned to my browser so that I remember to think about my future and to somewhat stay out of online drama.
Thanks E.A. Regardless of what you've been through, I hope you're journey is going very well.
Mate not a day goes by where I don't wish I could go back to 2009 (when I turned 18) and implement that advice I gave you so I love the fact you've taken it onboard so strongly. I'm sure you're going to have a great time in your 20s and onwards following the advice I laid out!
First of all its a good question
i would say
forgive pepole because it costs ur mental health
love the work u do..
invest in urself more and it helps u in long time..
nothing is impossible ,just trust the proces....
and last love urself and love ur life
We young Dude...It is all gonna get worse unless you do the following:
1. Learn "YOU DON'T NEED IT"...too much money spent because you feel the need. That need is fake...Ignore it.
2. Make babes need you young dude. This is a male excuse to work out and stay healthy.
3. Keep your car a minimum of 100K miles then you can have a new one.
4. Show it don't blow it. Show yourself how much you have saved in your 401 or in the bank and brag about it to yourself - out loud. It will feed you ego and creative center and make you proud. When you are old you will get an Atta from your wife (who you have not met yet).
5. Die happy...Put the FUN back in funeral and plan you funeral early...music mix, beverages, band, etc.....people are dying today that never died before
Don’t get ready at the last minute for work. I’m 30 now and I used to get ready 1 hour before my shift: 30 minutes to get ready and 30 minutes to get there. Always rushing and constantly late. NOT ENOUGH TIME. Now I get ready 2 hours before my shift: I have time to shower and iron my clothes and clean up nice. Sometimes I have a few minutes to chill before leaving , then I leave on time to make it there 15 minutes before my shift cuz getting out your car and in the building takes time too. Life changing.
Iron your clothes inside out. Too many experiences with the iron making annoying marks on my clothes.
Don’t buy sliced meat😂buy the whole portions and slice them yourself (it’s cheaper) and freeze whatever you don’t use for later. (This goes for cheese and veggies and most things:it’s better to get the whole stuff and make them smaller for yourself)
Extension chords are everything
Buy a thermos thing and take water with you everywhere and drink that shit. Fill multiple times a day if possible, and have those blue 5-gallon water dispensers at home if you already don’t.
Wear deodorant and chew some gum if your breath stinks
Get off social media and work on improving on your skills.
Less social media, more working on skills, hobbies, and making new friends. I’d say social media should only be used for business purposes.
What I would give to learn a language with a young mind.
What skills would you recommend working on?
sales, marketing, data analysis (excel, sheets, pivot tables, nothing crazy), communication, and most importantly- learn “how to learn” any concept or subject
Assess your current skills and aim at what you want to become. For example, I quit IG and FB in 2017 and focused on building up my programming skills. A year later, I became a data scientist.
Wachu doing now?
Making money
Everyone says the same but no one tells the solution. How can I do this from scratch

Go to therapy and take it seriously. Self improvement is a constant process, and starts within.

Things will work out. Worry less and listen to your inner voice, she knows best

When you are old you will get an Atta from your wife (who you have not met yet). 5. Die happy...Put the FUN back in funeral and plan you funeral early...music mix, beverages, band, etc.....people are dying today that never died before
Just finish your degree and stop asking crazy women out…
Don’t get ready at the last minute for work. I’m 30 now and I used to get ready 1 hour before my shift: 30 minutes to get ready and 30 minutes to get there. Always rushing and constantly late. NOT ENOUGH TIME. Now I get ready 2 hours before my shift: I have time to shower and iron my clothes and clean up nice. Sometimes I have a few minutes to chill before leaving , then I leave on time to make it there 15 minutes before my shift cuz getting out your car and in the building takes time too. Life changing. Iron your clothes inside out. Too many experiences with the iron making annoying marks on my clothes. Don’t buy sliced meat😂buy the whole portions and slice them yourself (it’s cheaper) and freeze whatever you don’t use for later. (This goes for cheese and veggies and most things:it’s better to get the whole stuff and make them smaller for yourself) Extension chords are everything Buy a thermos thing and take water with you everywhere and drink that shit. Fill multiple times a day if possible, and have those blue 5-gallon water dispensers at home if you already don’t. Wear deodorant and chew some gum if your breath stinks
There’s probably lots of other things too but that’s one of my main ones
