Be kind to yourself You Will make mistakes,and that’s okay treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion you’d offer a friend
“None of the things you’re worried about will happen, so relax a little.”
But they only didn’t happen because you stayed cautious. Now your younger self will throw caution to the wind and suffer the consequences.
Younger me’s anxieties were unrealistic. I was a nervous child.
Stop drinking, bitch boy.
I would tell myself to not push emotions away, since they would inevitably return as anxiety.
I agree but would add, find a therapist sooner to learn the coping skills sooner.
Stop chasing exes through your 20s. Especially the one from a different country. Even if it didn’t crash and burn it never would have worked anyway just due to immigration
It’s not a bad thing to get help from a therapist.
Take that money you were saving for university and buy Apple stock. Still move to the university town and hang out on campus, but skip the tuition fees and going to class; spend the time while others are in class working for a few years and putting more money into Apple stock.
Cash out some of that money a few years later and use it for a cheap bachelor’s degree; leverage that to get into the field you want to be in.
Then later, cash out some more to buy property… say, around 2008. But keep feeding more money in.
Moral of the story: do insider trading, no more worries!
Ignore the financial “advice” of your parents, they’re retiring and still in debt. Real estate, and stock market. Those prices only go up over time, and although it may be difficult in the short term, long term you’ll thank yourself.
Also college is a waste, don’t do it.
What bad advice did they tell you?
All debt is bad, it is better to not own a house than to pay a mortgage levels of all debt is bad.
The only way you’re not going to be working a minimum wage job is if you have a college degree.
Having been laid off, I’m glad I never had a mortgage.
My Uni degree probably helped, but its probably a good idea not to go into debt for it.
“You’re doing all this for nothing” and then I’d just leave/vanish/whatever without any actual useful advice because I myself still don’t fucking know
Push the button.
Eat healthy and exercise, your body will last longer
Fucking go to threapy, you idiot.
Buy bitcoin and take more shits
Bitcoin OK.
Say what about shits?
You need to take time to enjoy the little things in life.
And the enormous things
You’re bipolar, you just hide it well.
Get your meds sorted before college or you’re gonna wind up dropping out.
Also, its a seizure disorder, it just doesn’t present typically; and its medication resistant. Keep trying. That alone is gonna set you back about 10 years.
The most important thing in Uni is the sex with lots of different people. Keep your eye on the prize. Dont stay in a relationship too long.
Cut a few millimeters to the right. You somehow missed all the important parts.
