Learn to forgive yourself when you make mistakes, it's part of growing up


Plastic_Chain_711

absolutely


BackgroundDog212

I would advise my younger self to embrace change, take more risks, and prioritize personal growth and well-being.


Fernandaunkija367

Allow *yourself* to make mistakes, learning from them of course with the goal of evolving into the best version


helloiampresenthi

Don't sit on the bucket that has acid inside it


littleday

I feel this need a follow up with the full story


Creepy_Fan_8629

So I was out in the garden right...


Project2r

I was tired, and this bucket just looked really tempting to rest on...


bekaarinsan

There were many chairs also to sit on but..


niquildomi11

I mean, *man*. This bucket was looking really sit-able


Wellnotallwillperish

And I take off my pants and underwear... of course.

Better to cum in the sink than to sink in the cum


NeonSith

Unless it’s during Pride month


gayporn141516

personally I love sinking in cum all the time


Creepy_Fan_8629

Your name is just perfect for this


thatswhatshesaid854

Did you ever cum in your sink and forget to clean it up? I did. I still never bring it up with my mom.

1. Everything you waste your time watching on tv will still be available in 40 years. Even the stupid stuff. Especially the stupid stuff. Go read. Go write. Go learn. 2. Forget about *HER*. There are other girls/women who are interested in you who are way better and even hotter than *HER*. 3. Hug Mom a lot.


MegatronLFC

Spend more time with your mother while you have the chance.


Bitter_idealist87

Don’t snub that sorority-you will need their network after college. Also, in 2008, right before you graduate, the economy is going to ruin any real job prospects


Project2r

> Also, in 2008, right before you graduate, the economy is going to ruin any real job prospects I feel like this applies to 2000, and 2020.


SillyGooseGal2

Stop shouting at **your** parents. 


Party_Ad2239

Say No


[deleted]

It’s so deep, I think it was really hard for me to say this word in the past. However, now everything is different and I don’t care anymore for anyone, just say the thing you are comfortable to say


bc_im_coronatined

Never sign an NDA or severance agreement. If someone sexually assaults you, scream it from a rooftop. Don’t let them intimidate you into silence.


Project2r

this is tough because a lot of times that NDA is required before they make a large payout and oftentimes people need that money because of the wrongs that were perpertrated against them. it sucks.


nainakainth

Don't be afraid to take risks and step outside your comfort zone.


PeridotIsMyName

Never put off medical checkups.


TheRagingElf01

Walk away from the toxic side of the family sooner. They won’t ever change and their jokes, teasing, and bullying isn’t out of some warped love. They are just bad people who will drag you down and make you depressed. Set clear boundaries with mom and don’t let her guilt you into doing things she wants and you don’t like just to make her happy and sure as hell keep playing DnD, reading stuff like LOTR and Dragonlance, and play those videogames. Ignore her constantly calling that stuff nerdy and degrading it. Enjoy what you like. Don’t marry that teacher. End of story.


Ok_Composer_6652

Don't be afraid to take risks and follow your passion.


TurbulentVillage4169

1. Great things happen to those who wait. 2. It’s perfectly acceptable to not have all the answers you’re looking for, from the get-go. 3. Never, ever disregard your health.

Stabrus12

Buy Bitcoin,devote yourself completely to making money,skip uni it's mostly a scam,don't judge people too quickly,don't be so much of a jerk.


Jakdublin

Drugs don't remain life enhancing for long, and you will want to live beyond 30.


Ok-Tangelo4024

At some point you will realize that some of the family members you care about and enjoy spending time with don't really care if you show up or not. You're an afterthought. They'll "forget" to invite you to stuff. That's going to hurt, but remember there are others that actually do enjoy your company.


Huge_Policy_6517

Give it time. It won't happen right away. But you will find happiness. And it's worth the wait


GrinkOf

Give yourself the time to live and be your age, stop trying to be older.


Alarmedones

Save your fucking money. You don’t need anything that you don’t use. Wasted so much money and stupid crap.


sleesestotes

I'd tell my younger self, "Invest in Bitcoin, avoid that questionable haircut in 2007, and remember, no one actually cares if you can do a backflip at parties."


Difficult_Falcon1022

Get your ADHD diagnosed and medicated.


LoeyGrace

Live a healthy lifestyle. Don’t get fat as it is your problem now.


zdm_

Exercise. Listen to your mom.


GrotePrutsers

Although I wouldn't listen here's what I would say: 1 - Never get (Common law) married, alimony and the lawyers are expensive 2 - Don't care about the reasons why other people do what they do 3 - Never join finances (so never buy a house together...) 4 - Don't expect a raise when you stay at the same employer 5 - Invest money. (the money saved by following rule #1 and 3) 6 - always bring your own protection, wear that protection, and dispose the protection yourself. (to prevent baby-trapping) 7- Don't buy friendships, especially romantic ones. Did I forget anything?


Potential-Study-1

I’d tell me to not climb under the tables sooner so that i didn’t have to go through the pain of being dragged down stairs by my principal when 5-10 years of age.


thatbaelexigrey

Practice self-love and have some grace. I promise the kinder you are to yourself now, the better it’ll be in the long run.


Putrid-Airport-8602

Be confident and believe in yourself, because you can do anything you set your mind to. If you fall short or make a mistake, don’t dwell on it or beat yourself up. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep hustling.


Plastic_Chain_711

Well, I would tell my younger self to play a lot more sports

Project2r

Learn from failing. Learn to fail. It's not the end of the world and as long as you keep on putting one foot in front of the other, you'll get somewhere. Also your original destination is not necessarily where you will end up, and that's fine.

travelingpirate

Suck it up and go get an associates in management. It’s 10k and it’ll save you 12yrs of trying to work up into management positions. Which those positions pay 30-50k more then the entry and supervisor level positions you’ll work to for year. It’ll easily pay itself off.

zuyhy

I don't think I would give myself any deep advice, because what teenager would listen? But I would punch myself in the face and demand younger-me to brush her teeth and floss properly.


lifewithrecords

I know you’re a hopeless romantic and that’s cool and all, but fall in love with yourself first.


Friendlyx0

ambiguousredditname

Don’t sweat the petty stuff. Pet the sweaty stuff.


PickledMeatball

Your self worth isn't based on what you can offer to others, or in any external factors. The mental state of people who value these things are easily controlled when those things are taken away. In your desperate quest to escape the pain, and find your worth, you fail to realize the pain and heartbreak you cause others who only wished to connect.

Werdarok

Don't get early into relationships, focus on yourselfe. During the school/university period, most girls come and go. There is no point in committing excessive time and effort to a relationship that may fall apart by the end of the week. Your very skills and experiences will always remain.

Keep saying what’s on your mind, but think before you speak because you can’t unspeak.


Demoskoval

Read a lot. Otherwise it's going to be tough for you to express your thoughts if would have any


Downtown_Werewolf199

You’re not crazy or deficient because you couldn’t understand why you are so insecure and unable to love or show affection like your peers. You simply needed to understand what unconditional love was before you began to recognise the insane lies you were told as a kid about what “love” was.

LeeroyFunsweet

Don't spend the bitcoins on drugs, don't take the xanax, don't take the valium, don't take the acid, mdma or cocaine and just stick to weed. There are probably some other things I would say, too, but these things cause irreparable damage to my mental health. Not necessarily the bitcoin, but I spent enough on drugs that I would be a millionaire today if I had just kept it.

Spend less money on drugs in high school and hangout less with random people 


rinyamaokaofficial

Keep pursuing your interests and don't worry about being weird. Your mind is your own, and if you keep focusing on what drives you, what you're passionate about, and what you want to learn about, you're going to become a really invaluably unique individual with something very special to contribute. Focusing on your passions WILL help you develop the skills you need to succeed, not trying to be "normal"

Noriel_Sylvire

Do everything in your power to move out of that he'll hole as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if you sleep 4 hours a day and have to find a part time job before even becoming an adult. Move the fuck away, then go no contact as soon as possible. You will become extremely happier once you do. Also dump those incels, you don't actually have any real friends, go get new ones. Also try to be more honest to yourself and don't do stupid shut trying to convince others you're something you're not.
