What would your young self tell your current self?

@SkinnyMe

Don’t get married. Don’t get pregnant. Work faster.

This is what I am doing now. I have no regrets by far.

[Csummers]

Trust your instincts and don’t let others define what you can and can’t do.
Take time for yourself to do what you want- you don’t need anyone’s permission to be happy.
Refuse to let others bring you down.

To follow my heart and accomplish something in this life. But honestly the old me would’ve been scared of mental illness. Now I have moved on and accepted what I cannot change.

[insidemind]

Marijuana, salvia, energy drinks, and shaman herbs caused my psychosis. I would tell my past self to go to a different university or choose different housing. Maybe decide not to go to college at all. My current self needs to stay away from conspiracy theories and energy drinks. That’s about all, really.

[Blizzard]

I am rather disappointed in you.

[gene]

quit being a pussy and ask her out already.

[Anna]

My child self I feel like would be horrified with where I’m at today, I had such high hopes for myself when I was young. She would be like “Jeez what went wrong!!” To which I’d probably laugh dryly and say something like “Just wait and see…”

I would say don’t be afraid to fall in love. Embrace it. Corny, I know. I also would smile at my classmates more. I glared at everyone which got me nowhere. Also I would avoid drugs especially acid and ecstasy. I fried my brain.

I like this thread. And I had to really think about the question you posed.

Maybe my younger self would tell me to just relax, chill, and that everything is going to be okay.

I also think my younger self could really teach me a lesson about “being comfortable in my own skin.”

Kind of a weird saying. But it’s my understanding it basically means to just be comfortable with who you really are.

[Leaf]

be brave and don’t give up

[Noise]

My younger self would probably comment on my scars. Probably wonder why I look so sick. And probably get mad at me.

But they’d probably ask me if it gets better and if I ever get away from my abuser and if i ever get off meds.

[valiumprincess]

Something like ‘you gotta stop stressing about the little things’

And as for my social anxiety ‘what do you mean, we love being the center of attention!’

[rogueone]

He’d say. You tried. You frigging tried. Then we’d hug. Share a moment!

[Jake]

He would have said be more confident.

[Azley]

I’d have to step in and say

“So you still don’t feel like talking, do you kid?”

[SunLion]

I’d say, fight for every inch, and enjoy the moments you can.
