If you could go back and give your young self one piece of advice, what would it be?

[DesperateOne]

If you had a time machine to go back and talk to your young self, what would you say? You know that what you say he/she will listen and do it, but you can only give him/her one piece of advice.

 

[divinemistress36]

Trust no one only yourself

 

[fuzzy-clown]

Buy SN. If my CTB attempt succeeded, that would have saved me a lot of trouble.

 

[hikikomorizombie]

prob that nothing really matters as much as ppl pretend it matters, usually esp if they pretend it matters tbh. figure out what u wanna do. idc if it's college or working right out of HS, just pick something & don't float off into limbo bc you'll never find ur way back. talk to ppl. u can teach urself how to socialize, but once every1 already has their established groups + cliques (& esp when you're out of HS), u can't teach urself into one. & mom isn't ur best friend, don't cling to her like she's ur rock bc she'll leave u to drown.

leave life behind it's not worth it

not asking for any technology…my exposure to the internet at a young age has really messed me up.

Always fight back, no matter how many foes around you. Don't dare to run and hide. Make them suffer.

 

[Aim]

Run and never look back!

 

[sanction]

Buy Bitcoin when it was still $0.000001

Otherwise, just overdose on drugs and die during those high school parties

 

[EvisceratedJester]

I'd be too busy beating the shit out them to give them advice.

 

[UKscotty]

Put more time and effort into recovery from being suicidal, don't lose focus.

This for me as well... I would go to my young me, throw all the screens that I had outside the window and like Jester probably beat the shit out of myself.

Just out of curiosity, why do you feel this way with the technology/ internet?

for some context i got my first tablet at 10 years old back in 2013. i thought i was so cool, i was on it 24/7 and was a big anime fan at the time as well. i'd watch episodes of my favorite anime's all day on pirated websites i found that had sexual ads, me being curious i'd visit these websites and i ended up developing a porn addiction as a kid. i'd sign up on social media platforms and lie about my age which ended up with me surrounding myself with not-so-good people.

 

[Slow_Farewell]

Focus on numbers and tech with a view to investing in Apple, Google and bitcoin.

 

[almondmilk]

DON'T FALL IN LOVE

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I'd probably tell younger me to do a suicide attempt as life isn't worth living and dying younger means that we'll suffer less overall

 

[leavingthesoultrap]

If I could go back to my early twenties...
I would say focus on therapy and go back to college, pick something easy that you can finish. Let go of wanting to get married and all that stuff

 

[WhenTheyCry]

Lift weights, exercise, ask to be trained in a martial art.

 

[roku6]

I don't know if any advice helped at all because my problems are originating from bad parenting, my doc said I had depressive episodes starting in early childhood which affected the development of brain and personality.
But I would suggest myself socializing more, getting a part time job asap and not to chase the girl who has no interest in you.

 

[Homo erectus]

Probably the same things parents tell their children.

 

[ropearoundatree]

Don't get your hopes up, on anything, ever! ;)

 

[F@#$]

That day you take your dad's pistol into the basement. Don't be a pussy and just shoot yourself,there's nothing worth sticking around for. You're in for a miserable fuckin life.

Get a prostitute the INSTANT you even pass for 18.

 

[BrainShower]

Don't try, just do what you want. It doesn't really matter. Only misery awaits you. The effort will be in vain.

 

[wCvML2]

To order N when it was available.

 

[the_last_race]

Never listen to anybody, trust only your own self. And mine bitcoin while it's easy ofc. These two would solve 2/3rd of everything for me.

 

[Hollowman]

Don't climb that tree you're going to fall out and smash your head.

Take the Fulbright. Break up with him.
