Discussion If you could tell your child self anything, what would it be?

[UnravelingWinter]

Apart from telling them to buy bitcoin, amazon stock, etc.
I would tell her not to grieve so much.

 

[DynamicDepression]

Jump from higher up.

 

[symphony]

That I'm sorry they're in so much pain. That it's not their fault. That they don't deserve it. That I'm there to look out for them even if no one else will.

 

[Pianoplayer]

That its a good thing to seek help.

 

[motel rooms]

I'd just cry, I guess. What can you say to comfort a boy who doesn't know if he's human or just a piece of meat?

 

[Bootleg Astolfo]

''Hey man, you become a fucking looser, but one that looks like a chick lol''
*leaves him with a few cool futuristic toys and my cosplay pictures to be a dick, but a cool santa style dick, that gives you cool futuristic shit whilst being a dick*

 

[S like suicide]

"I beg you kill yourself now that you are more unconscious and fearless ... it's for your own good because the darkest hell awaits you in the next years and I don't want you to suffer so much".

" As you grow older, you will begin to see the world and the people in it as they truly are. This will make you miserable and depressed.
You will fervently wish that you had never been born."

 

[MegaGordo]

"Slap Will Smith, slap Will Smith, slap Will Smith" ; "Build Lego gun, kill Putin"; "Richard Dawkins for Pope and Grand PooBah"

 

[Life_and_Death]

Child? So younger then 15

"you're gonna met a guy DON'T FUCK IT UP STUPID!!! Also there's these 2 cats, go get them, no if, ands or buts"

 

[Silenos]

"Call the police next time she hurts you."

 

[ClownMe]

I would have told my young self to kill himself in his teen years.

 

[WhatDoesTheFoxSay?]

"Work harder, Comrade!" ☭

Actually, I'd just give her a pat on the head then a slap across the face.

 

[Cathy Ames]

"I'm so sorry, but this isn't just a phase. You won't grow out of it."

 

[Lost Magic]

It will only get worse before it will get better. I mean, it will only get worse and worse and worse.

I know they say in the Bible to honor your father and mother but fuck the Bible. Throw that book away and run away as far as you can and never look back. Hell is not under the earth, it was your house all along.

Your parents were not Gods. They are the ones harming you the most all along. Don't believe their trap and lies if all they offer is harm and abuse. You are worth it and you need to get the fuck out of there.

That's what I would say to my younger self.

 

[MellowAvenue]

Much as I'd want to I wouldn't say a word because I know it'd be a waste of time. My younger self had no desire to change nor hope for change and without either of those words are empty.

 

[FuneralCry]

I would tell her that my life will only ever be suffering and that it is best to leave this world as soon as possible. Of course telling her that would not change anything as I am trapped in this world as suicide is so difficult.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become an incel."

 

[Catloaf]

Start saving money for N early.

 

[wljourney]

Don't dump your first BF.
It only gets worse.
But DO go diving in the Caribbean - it's the most peaceful you'll ever feel.

 

[WhiteRabbit]

I'd tell myself to travel more in my 20's, because my health isn't going to last.

 

[nerve]

I'm sorry.

 

[ceserasera]

Lower your standards. Adults are disappointing and don't protect you the way you think they always will. People pretend children matter, but when you become an adult nobody even pretends you matter. Don't waste your tears because they don't move anyone. You'll constantly be misunderstood but for your own peace of mind - stop explaining yourself to the world.

 

[Soulless Angel]

make the first attempt the serious one because it never stops, leave at 22, and don't wait

 

[onlyanimalsaregood]

Accept that you can only count on yourself forever

 

[stellabelle]

Cling to religion,

kill your mother for being abusive, maybe both.

Be able to concentrate on schoolwork.

And don't get raped.

 

[goofy]

invest in bitcoin

 

[Circles]

My pessimistic self wants me to tell myself to kill myself sooner than later, but I don't know. If anything I just wish I could tell myself that some things weren't so bad and wish I had the tenacity to pull through tough situations more. If anything I wish I could tell myself to socialize more or learn life skills and such. Maybe even stick to college also but all well.
