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.
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've made a lot of mistakes in my life. This really hits home.
No, it would hit you
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.
I would say, try to find some meaning to life, but it wouldn't be understood by 10yr pos
I think some people become parents for this reason. For better or worse...
Would try smash more girls and not be so picky.
Didn't know so many where going to let themselves go so fast after highschool/uni.
18-20 was the peak. Then no diet and exercise really caught up on a lot of girls relying on genetics and youth
So your takeaway from getting older is just misogyny...
No. Guys let themselves go also but I'm not interested in fucking them now or when I was 18 so I don't care about their looks.
The older you get the more your options go down.
But from my friendship group the guys have aged a lot better. They all most all stayed the same weight, some lost some muscle mass I know I did. But a lot of the girls got fatter.
It would be interesting to see the amount of exercise the average man does from 18-30 compared to women. I'd bet men do a lot more.
Are you honestly going to say you think women do as much exercise as men? Or that you don't know any girls from school in the "pretty group" that aged horrifically because they no longer have youth and never did any exercise.
I would have a conversation. Mainly about stocks but also about the cubs.
