Kill myself younger maybe at 13. Life is rigged no matter what you try it will make you unhappy and miserable.

Nothing
I've done nothing wrong
Everything that has happened to me has been a result of circumstances
I was programmed to behave this way through genetics and environment.
"If I could start over I would become a doctor or a lawyer" what a load of shit, it doesn't matter how hard you try your born without the cognitive ability to become one which is why you never became one. If you were born with higher IQ you would have received positive reinforcement at school and thus enjoyed studying more but with low IQ you lose interest in school and stop studying. It's all genetics.
If I could go back in time I would have smashed a keyboard into someone's head at school, I would have nocked all the teath out of people I didn't like, I would have shouted back in the teachers face when he shouted at me... I would have told more people to fuck off.

This is a great question. Thanks. For me, I hope I'd take advantage of some of the opportunities I had sooner. I know mediation is a dicey topic around here these days but I wish I had stayed with it when I was younger. I can't believe how many things I didn't like I've been able to change with it.
I really thank you for the opportunity to think through this question.
yeah that's my change. I did many stupid things over the years but in the end they were all valuable. For my next trip around the sun I'd like to learn the functional applications of controlling the subconscious sooner.
my lesson in this life isn't that I should have been more guarded and locked in, just that I would like to have understood how to change habituation. Honestly, I'm feeling pretty good about this trip now.
man there are some evil people in this world, but a friend of mine said the other day "we're all just idiots doing what we know.@

Almost the same here. I would do everything in a different way except for being a teacher. I love it.

First thing I'd do is hunt down the lousy bastard that nicked my The Big Boss video, and destroy him and his family, but not his dog, I'd take it with me. Then we would travel to Chernobyl and tell the first old fart we came across "you're in for a shock, lol" We would then travel the world solving crime and fighting injustice whenever we come across it. By this point the dog (who I named Doombucket) would of evolved into some terrible, unimaginable demon dog and I would travel along on his back laying waste to every single apeman I come across.

+ "If I was once again beginning my studies, I'd follow the advice of Plato and start with mathematics".
+ I would not have made such a mistake against myself (Surgery; bad news).
+ I would get a much earlier diagnosis of Autism and work with support givers to make education, then work, more achievable. If the question implies a random reset of life, I'd rather not have autism at all; there are no superpowers.
+ Work to bring about law that better protects childrens bodily integrity. I've learned something of my own country that I regret deeply.
+ Have the good mood and drive to partake in digital art and learn new things.
EDIT:
+ Seek an independent life with far less dependence on nanny state.
+ There'll be more...

Oh, and I would make sure Justin Bieber is never coughed up. That little fuck has done untold amounts of damage to the human species and I hold him personally responsible for every bad thing that has ever happened in the world.

Do you mean that stress and sleep deprivation triggered your bipolar disorder ?

Bipolar disorder is almost invariably triggered by some kind of stressful event or circumstance. The same goes for schizophrenia.

That's an interesting point. In my case, it would have been worth sacrificing some of my personality, though. I'm tired of being me.

so many things on my list. But one thing that stands out, had to work harder on everything, while everything was going ok-ish. I did the opposite, I slacked down. I thought that I did not need to worry, everything was ok. It is easier to achieve more while you successful, than it is when you in the gutters. I think I needed to keep pushing forward. there are more serious stuff, then there is other stuff that i dont have control over - health problems...etc

I don't want to live my life over, so much was out of my control, and I'd be too afraid to make different decisions without knowing the outcome. I just want to go back to 2019 and not be taken to the hospital after my last attempt. Maybe I wouldn't be here now.
