Question 1: What advice would you like to give to your younger self?

You are right. The adults in your world are peabrains as you suspect. They mean well but can't be trusted.

[VoidCat]

Question 1: What advice would you like to give to your younger self?

Question 2: What advice do you wish you had learned when you were younger?

Question 1:
To be honest any advice I'd like to give if it were possible to go back in time I couldn't give. Cuz see I ran on spite. I wanted to be dead at a young age and told myself I'd be dead before reaching adulthood. If i told my younger self how great life is now im an adult and that I made it to adulthood and such I would've killed myself out of spite to make sure I didn't make it to adulthood.

Question two: How important trust is.

 

[Audie]

[Daemon Sophic]

Stop being so shy. Date more girls, and just because you’re dating them doesn’t mean you should necessarily marry them.

 

[Aštra’el]

I would change nothing.

Question 2: What advice do you wish you had learned when you were younger?

You can't buy friends -- trust yourself, they'll find you.

 

[JustGeorge]

1. Your friends are temporary. Enjoy them, but try not to get attached. And when people tell you that attitude is unhealthy, understand that you're right this time.

2. I wish I'd have gotten that formal fighting training I wanted.

That first one is a doosy. My quarantine time while the clinic was closed would have gone a lot smoother if I had not defined part of my personality as 'the one who needs to do things with friends all the time.' Last couple years have been a big lesson in being comfortable with my own company.

Also the second one, wish I had done SCA fencing earlier. Was never interested in the usual organized sport but getting in armor and swining swords? Definitely up my alley.

I still very much dislike being alone, but I don't get so attached to people. They leave when friendship is no longer convenient. Its just something I have to keep in mind...

Fencing sounds fun, too! I thought I was going to be moving to a big city once, and looked into SCA in general. The move didn't happen, and there's none nearby, but its really cool to know it exists.

Good ones, really apply to me too:

1) I agree 100%. Those who tell you it is unhealthy are arrogant; 1 word says it all

2) #MeToo. But was impossible, always headache. But now I know "fighting" is 90% mental. Tell "STOP" (stand your ground) when needed, "RUN away", Avoid Bad Company (ABC of life). And Never look back if they don't take you serious now, they never will (arrogance, not taking the other serious, seldom changes after age 7)

"What advice would you give to your younger self?": Don't let opportunities slip away (in sex or in careers).

Question 1: What advice would you like to give to your younger self?

Question 2: What advice do you wish you had learned when you were younger?

Answer 1:
I'd be tempted to say: "Don't be so quick to feel sorry for yourself. Things'll make sense later."
I know he won't listen though, nor would it make sense to him.
He has to go through all that in order to understand what I'm talking about.

Answer 2:
See answer 1.
Besides that, I tend to have a "there's no use crying over spilled milk" attitude.
