I would give myself a hug and tell myself it’ll all be ok.
Great approach. Check out ifs
Ifs?
Internal Family System. A therapeutic approach based on system theory approaches child-like inner parts and gives them the affection and love they needed (and still need) when those parts formed.
I think they are talking about internal family systems. It’s a type of therapy.
Sounds like you went through some difficult times. Really glad things worked out ok for you
I hope you’re good, man.
I think I’d be the opposite. I’d be like, “It still sucks, and the loneliness hits harder than ever, fella. But when you’re 24, you’ll get something that’ll change your life.”
Just to leave this oit there for the concerned; I’m fine.
I am, but it’s a day-by-day affair. I recently found out I have bipolar along with anxiety, but even so, I came out 4 years ago and my life has vastly improved.
Hey, it’s better than it always being shit. I’m sorry about the bipolar though. However, hopefully, it’s been found out. You can get help more suited for that.
The anxiety is.hinestly such a bitch. And I’m so glad coming out has helped. I wish you all the best.
Tell my young self that it isn’t a phase and that he should start the therapy to become she immediately!
I would do that with a chainsaw
I’d push myself into a meat grinder
Kill him since I already know it doesn’t get much better
Is that suicide, murder or murder suicide?
Murdicide?
Depends if it rips apart universe by making a paradox. I am not sure is destruction of the universe is a criminal charge. But maybe Murder suicide then manslaughter for killing the universe?
I mean, just from a quick duckduckgo, destruction of the universe isn’t technically illegal.
Depending on how well you do it, there should be no charges because it’ll all be gone.
Imagine the disappointment if you then don’t stop existing. You still did a good deed, nobody can take that away from you.
I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. This really hits home.
No, it would hit you
I would tell my younger self to go to a psychiatrist and get some antidepressants about 2 years earlier than last time.
“NO.”
I’d use a gun tbh. Gotta make sure.
I genuinely don’t know if my younger self would have the presence of mind to take me seriously, but I would try to reach them and encourage them to be more empathetic toward things/people that they didn’t understand. I was a bit of an asshole as a teenager, heck maybe even in my early 20s, and I wish I could go back with the care I have now.
My expert advice to past me: “Stop trying to do so many different things and focus on getting good at one fucking thing at a time”
I still don’t follow that.Same. Even tho I’m trying, it’s so boring doing one thing, so I’m trying everything…
When you realize that’s why your parents were like that

Obviously not universal, but generally parental strictness/harshness/unfairness is them trying to spare their children undue suffering from mistakes similar to those the parents themselves made in their youth.
Because they time traveled back to slap themselves?
I would say, try to find some meaning to life, but it wouldn’t be understood by 10yr pos
I’d tell my younger self “you are gay” in the voice of that Ugandan TV host
Why are you gay??!?
