If you could travel back in time, what would you tell your younger self?

[Gl1tch3d G1rl]

Wish she had died. Wish they had just killed her instead.

Wait, you're female? I always thought you were male for some reason >_<

 

[ultrasharpy123456]

Don't express yourself around people, just try to be as cool as possible. Only show your real self when you're alone. Also learn that people don't like it when you have fun so just keep that to yourself. When your family wants you to stop drawing porn just tell them you like drawing it and would like some space to be able to do it. And try to keep all your drawings to yourself.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to create a videogame, there's nothing wrong with creating characters, just do not under any circumstances say that you are creating a videogame or try to create a videogame. Keep that to yourself. If anyone asks, just say that you're drawing. Don't run in the halls. Get used to getting screamed at, just tell the person the yelling was unnecessary. Get used to apologizing... A LOT. Try not to masturbate, you're not allowed to.

Don't try to make friends in school, if you want to talk or interact with people just play mmos. Focus on mental health and self-therapy A LOT. A LOT. A LOT. A LOT. Do not do anything with Christianity, god, or religion. Yes it's insane when that's forced down your throat and you're brainwashed but just do not do it.

Don't take any AP classes under any circumstances. Just focus on getting through highschool. Don't try to talk to people. In art class, don't show off. Just draw passable pictures, try not to make your art stand out even though you really like drawing and enjoy it just don't show it off. In gym class, don't run fast. Yes it's against your every instinct to run fast since that is how you cope with life but you know what just don't run fast. Even if your teacher pulls you and asks why you're holding back, just still don't run fast. Try to be a normal student. And just get through highschool and college, as long as you graduate highschool it doesn't matter.

When you're about to say something to someone, take deep DEEP breaths, critically analyze it, and ask if it is appropriate to say. Do this until this becomes natural. Do not join the Sonic fanbase, don't become interested in Sonic just stick to kirby.

When someone gets mad at you just apologize. You have literally no idea why you're apologizing but just apologize. Do not focus on suicide methods. When your family wants you to get a job, just do it. Don't ask questions, just do it. When they force you into community college, just go there. Focus on therapy and deep breathing. When you find a game you like and a discord about it where people can talk about the game just don't talk about the game there. Yes it sounds insane but this is what you have to do, just focus on posting your stuff on tumblr or twitter or wattpad.

When you are looking at suicide methods, don't do anything until you find the shotgun method. Don't look at hanging, SN, F, N, anything. Only focus on the 12 gauge shotgun. Now you'll be living in a motel and jumping from hotel to hotel so just try to hide it somewhere.

NEVER RESEARCH LAW OF ATTRACTION/ASSUMPTION/NON-DUALISM. Leave those alone, that will be the biggest mistake you could ever make in your life. Don't join after school clubs, even just to know what they're like because apparently you (not anyone else, just you in particular) will be forced into them against your will.

When someone gets offended at you just say, "You're absolutely right and I'm sorry have a nice day." Let people win internet arguments.

When you're in your apartment at home, don't run. Don't even run outside near the apartment because apparently there will be people who will criticize you or want to talk to you or bother you about the fact that you are simply running for fun. So go somewhere, I dunno where but somewhere close but free where you can freely run in peace. There's gonna be a bunch of guys who bother you about this. You gotta just tell them no and let's not be friends.

 

[terra.nuvo]

Focus on finishing and doing well in school instead of on a boy who is gonna end up leaving you anyways.

Work on bettering yourself now because it is much harder when you're a full adult.

Don't become an orientation coordinator. In fact, don't do orientation after your sophomore year. Find a better job to do. I know you hate working but just find a better job.

Save as much of your money as possible, you'll need it later.

Don't ghost your friends.

Don't let yourself get wrapped up in the guys you like. If they don't like you back don't put any energy into them.

Learn to love yourself.

"Focus more on your hobbies and improving your skills as opposed to trying to fit in a group you don't fit in with. Don't get into a relationship in high school. Listen to your intuition more, if something doesn't feel right there's probably a good reason for that. Some people don't deserve the benefit of the doubt."

"Listen to your intuition" so much trouble could have been avoided if we would have just listened to it

 

[_Broken_alice]

You ARE a woman, don't try to pretend those feelings will ever go away because they won't. It is most certainly not a fetish. Have the awkward conversations that need to be had. Get on HRT ASAP. Your hair is super curly and will look great grown out. The woman you are on the inside is beautiful. Set her free.
It's ok to like childish things like stuffed animals still. Don't let anyone make you feel otherwise.
People WILL lie to you and take advantage of you every chance they get.
Go to college and get a comp sci or engineering degree immediately out of highschool.
Beware Elon Musk. His promises will not be upheld at a worthwhile cost. Warn family about Trump. He is one of the worst human beings in existence and will do so much unimaginable harm.

Invest as much money as you can in bitcoin ASAP. It seems stupid at the time, but do it. Sell it all when people on reddit start talking nonsense like "apes together strong" and "diamond hands". Use this money to turn an area into an LGBT+ haven complete with dense housing with everything needed within walking distance, so many people are going to need a safe space to be themselves in the coming years and you will feel so much better and safer surrounded by such wonderful people. Make sure there is always space for those that cannot afford to exist. They need it so much and the human connections and safe community are the most valuable things in life, if not the only valuable things. Invest heavily in mental healthcare and safe inpatient facilities for those going through crisis.
Lobby for nationalized healthcare. Healthcare will get so bad and inaccessible for so many that need it. Lobby for laws protecting gender identity and healthcare access too.

Uhhhm. You don't know it but you are autistic and have severe ADHD. Get the ADHD medicated ASAP.
Oh and you have DID. Those voices in your head a very real.
SEEK THERAPY while it can still help. If a therapist feels off on the first visit, find another. Therapists are like partners, not every therapist is a good fit.
You likely have Celiac disease. Cut gluten from your diet immediately. If you don't it will lead to unimaginable pain and mental issues. Also supplement vitamin D since you hate the sun so much.

Do not get romantically involved with that woman. She will just mentally abuse you and hurt you then make you out to be the monster when she discards you. Things may seem great and she may seem like the one, but she is not.
Your aunt is the best mom you could possibly ask for. Help her get away from her awful husband ASAP.
And talk to your sister about gender identity stuff. She is not a tomboy and would be happier if she had the chance to act on things before she decides it is too late.
Talk to that other lovely person instead and help her discover herself and be herself. She is absolutely wonderful and will actually get you.

You are not just lazy, and the way you feel mentally is not normal.
Don't start cutting. It will get so much worse and turn into a lifelong problem that never ends.
Don't ever takes SSRI's or SNRI's, they will make things so much worse and have permanent consequences.
Emotional abuse is still abuse. Speak up about it.

 

[ctbcat]

stop being scared and just try things. giving up all the time is a bad habit and is only screwing you over. WE'RE UNDERDEVELOPED!!!! GRAHHHHH

 

[paroxysm]

you need to kill yourself right now and make sure you're successful.

 

[karmaisabitch]

It's not possible but if I will kill myself. I wish I died when I was 10

 

[lnlybnny]

just kys already

 

[Saturn_]

Enjoy it while it lasts.

 

[4am]

that it should jump when it will be standing on top of that 50 meter high cliff, and that everything will just be over right there and then

 

[PINKIESISU]

Can I just shoot him?

I would say kill yourself to the younger self

 

[rozeske]

It not your fault, none of it is. No matter what you do or what you say, you could never make them happy, you could never make them love you or be proud of you. Don't waste your energy and don't think less of yourself. You are not the problem.

 

[Forveleth]

"In a few years, your parents are going to attempt to control your future by threatening to kick you out of the house unless you go to college. Don't fall for it. I know you're sheltered abs don't know how to take care of yourself, but suffering for a few years now will save you so much misery in the future. When you're finally out on your own and stable, don't be afraid to leave them behind.

Also, stay single. Fuck whoever you want. Have flings. Have fun!

Also you're pansexual."

 

[11April]

Don't miss your happiness, be more careful.

"If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shity."

 

[thenamingofcats]

Do NOT stay in the home, get your shit and leave NOW. Go to university and get on the career track asap. You might have a chance.

 

[silence ends]

Get education. Get a job. Its hard for you and lot of obstacles but even try.
Or just kill yourself now, its only getting harder.

 

[DEATH IS FREEDOM]

You mostly lose by being kind in a world of mean people. Don´t trust anyone. Your friend can become your enemy. Make sure to raise as much money as possible.

 

[Trakehner]

"Keep your feelings to yourself. Don't start self harm. Don't go to therapy. Never start taking SSRIs. Focus on school and art. Those are not your real friends. Be better at hiding things. No one is going to be there for you. Life will never get better, just get it over with."

 

[Abyssal]

"Don't send the goodbye text to your best friend, he'll alert your family and you'll survive"

 

[Heidi48]

Stop worrying so much about what people think about you, their opinion doesn't matter.

 

[DeathOfKane]

I would give my younger self the directions of obtaining SN. I'd advise them against their weak methods and to accept that things are never going to change in their future. I'd tell them about what life's really been like and to stop trying to make friends and always stay celibate.

 

[Felodese]

It's not going to get better.

 

[Black Sheep One]

Stop swimming. ;-)

 

[steppingoff]

get over it and just do it!

 

[Yuina]

Don't drop out. At least you would've had a distraction if you stayed in school.

 

[BlockHammer]

Dont be too sensitive when it came to a joke, not to get too tempramental, learn something (like programming) that's actually gonna gave you a decent career, being mechanical engineering in this country is hard as fuck (especially when your gpa kindda mid and you don't have any connection)

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

Hello everyone,
As the title of this thread says, if you had the possibility to travel back in time and meet your younger self, what would you tell them?

Buy Nembutal as soon as you can !!!!

 

[Timothy7dff]

Never trust any politician......especially with money.
