What's some advice you'd give your past self?

I would tell myself to lose hope and be ready for a life of frustration and disappointment.

work harder in school

dont fall in love

wait until after uni to fall in love

my first breakup in grade 10 was the reason i almost failed all of my classes, it was so hard bc we dated for 11 months after she cheated on me

that stuck with me till first year uni, met a great chick, but i got ghosted 4 months in

it sucked

Keep your car running no matter what, it's your lifeblood

Show up to every class, study hard every day

Keep a job even if it's a part time weekend gig

Do a low-carb diet and lift

Talk to people wherever you go. Be in the moment and show genuine interest in what they have to say. Ask questions. Don't be afraid to propose a hangout. Worse that can happen is they say decline and life goes on just the same for you.

Just because you really enjoy spending time with someone doesn't mean you love them. Enjoy things for what they are and let them go when they're done. Don't chase after anyone. Don't cling to anyone. It will only drive them further away.

sounds like shit advice, what's the end result of doing all this?

>>18663064
Why is it shit advice?

>>18663065
>dude work hard lmao
For what? What's the end result?

>>18663075
Lame. The post was advice I'd give my past self. If you don't see any value in it too bad

>>18663078
I'm just asking you why you would give yourself that advice.

Believe in your ability to learn new things

Be persistent. The human mind evolved to adapt to new things.

Take vitamin b12, k2, b3, and iodine, as well as magnesium.

Stop the porn use.

Start lifting weights.

Study things related to your job using the vast information repository know as the internet

Don't date in highschool. All the fine ladies are in uni. And anyone below the age of 20 are emotionally unstable.

Learn to draw, you'll get endless supply of fap materials.

Mom will die unexpectedly. Be nice to her, don't yell at her all the time.

Don't go out with that chick. She'll make your life a living hell and despite your best efforts to make the relationship work, she'll treat you like shit and run off with the first guy who shows some interest in her and you'll be fucked up permanently because of it.

Also, get your driver's license when you get your first job at 16. That way when you become broke at least you'll have that.

Give an oportunity to the girl who was mean to you you don't know what she was going trhough, you may find the love of your life sooner. She won't look like she's worth it now but she's more than worth it.

>that last one

Damn.

This. Although, I'd probably say something more in the way of "be prepared for frustration and disappointment, because that is an inevitability of living"


And then I'd tip my fedora to my 10yr old clone

>>18663104
It's only an inevitability for some people, there are others that experience their fair share of success. I never expected everything to go great, I just expected to do better in a few more things than pretty much nothing.

She doesn't love you, stop trying so hard
That's what i would've said to myself 3 years ago

>run off with the first guy who shows some interest in her

I had this happen to me recently and of all the previous relationships I've had, it's fucked with me the most. Why is that? Lack of control on my part?

Backstory: going out "unofficially" with girl I've known as an acquaintance for about a year prior. We get along super well so I just went with it and didn't think we needed the label or whatever. Her friend gets dumped and has this bright idea she's gonna hook up with a guy at her work. This guy is only showing interest in her in order to get closer to the girl I'm seeing. Gets to the point she's getting busy to spend time with me, our plans fall through but plans with the friend and her work-friends plus guy are priority because they're "so much fun". I tell her he's only using your friend in order to get into your pants. She won't believe it and I just pretty much walk away. Few months later she's back wanting to start over, presumably because either she realized or the the guy fucked n chucked her. Then this shit friend gets into another relationship and leaves the girl I was seeing high and dry.

Invest in bitcoins, i love you. Dont give a shit and also i cannot give the lotto numbers here since the time convergence will split up and change the future so.... Godspeed

Nothing. I have received a lot of great advice when I was younger, the problem wasn't hearing these things but rather grasping what it entailed. Something like "pick your battles" makes sense to everyone but the real wisdom is not in realizing that this is how you should handle life but rather realizing when the battle you shouldn't pick comes, and not getting caught up in the moment and being deluded by your emotions into thinking that yes, it is worth it.

I doubt that if the great advice of my parents, sister, friends etc never stuck, mine would. I would have just felt defensive and argued, or I would've misconstrued the advice.

What I would tell myself is that many things I could not for the life of me imagine getting better, will. One can never have enough hope to keep going.
