I would give myself a hug and tell myself it'll all be ok.
Sounds like you went through some difficult times. Really glad things worked out ok for you
I hope you're good, man.
I think I'd be the opposite. I'd be like, "It still sucks, and the loneliness hits harder than ever, fella. But when you're 24, you'll get something that'll change your life."
Just to leave this oit there for the concerned; I'm fine.
Tell my young self that it isn't a phase and that he should start the therapy to become she immediately!
Kill him since I already know it doesn't get much better
Imagine the disappointment if you then don't stop existing. You still did a good deed, nobody can take that away from you.
I would do that with a chainsaw
I’d push myself into a meat grinder
I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. This really hits home.
No, it would hit you
I would tell my younger self to go to a psychiatrist and get some antidepressants about 2 years earlier than last time.
I'd use a gun tbh. Gotta make sure.
My expert advice to past me: "Stop trying to do so many different things and focus on getting good at one fucking thing at a time"
I still don't follow that.Same. Even tho I'm trying, it's so boring doing one thing, so I'm trying everything...
"NO."
I genuinely don't know if my younger self would have the presence of mind to take me seriously, but I would try to reach them and encourage them to be more empathetic toward things/people that they didn't understand. I was a bit of an asshole as a teenager, heck maybe even in my early 20s, and I wish I could go back with the care I have now.
When you realize that's why your parents were like that
Nah, I'd like to do this because my parents didn't do it the right way the first time around.
It's amazing how two otherwise generally intelligent well meaning loving parents can completely miss the fucking point so goddamn hard...
Obviously not universal, but generally parental strictness/harshness/unfairness is them trying to spare their children undue suffering from mistakes similar to those the parents themselves made in their youth.
Because they time traveled back to slap themselves?
I'd tell my younger self "you are gay" in the voice of that Ugandan TV host
Why are you gay??!?
I would say, try to find some meaning to life, but it wouldn't be understood by 10yr pos
Whilst this is true, the opposite is even more so, and should be for most people.
I would have a conversation. Mainly about stocks but also about the cubs.

I think some people become parents for this reason. For better or worse...
Would try smash more girls and not be so picky.
Didn't know so many where going to let themselves go so fast after highschool/uni.
18-20 was the peak. Then no diet and exercise really caught up on a lot of girls relying on genetics and youth
So your takeaway from getting older is just misogyny...
No. Guys let themselves go also but I'm not interested in fucking them now or when I was 18 so I don't care about their looks.
The older you get the more your options go down.
But from my friendship group the guys have aged a lot better. They all most all stayed the same weight, some lost some muscle mass I know I did. But a lot of the girls got fatter.
It would be interesting to see the amount of exercise the average man does from 18-30 compared to women. I'd bet men do a lot more.
Are you honestly going to say you think women do as much exercise as men? Or that you don't know any girls from school in the "pretty group" that aged horrifically because they no longer have youth and never did any exercise.
