Love is overrated and family is too. So try to fuck more, love less, be independant and save up some money so you can start caring for yourself instead of others.

If I could be 18 and go back to 09/10 I would want quite college and buy a kilo of Mephedrone online. I would stop worrying about what other people think and not be guilty about my own personal choices.
>>
>>733632512
Yea, would have ended it then. If you would like to make a change you would need to go back to the beginning with your today's memory... or it makes no real dif. After all once you hit 18 all you get is the slave stamp and responsibilities with close to 0 benefits... welcome, you ain't one of the 10.000

After rent, bills, food you can be happy if there is more then so spider webs left in your wallet...

... not to mention the every years tax for property, the car registration and so on and on and on... your vocation will be you, using it to get a second job.

Hate me for it (i know i sometimes do), but those are reasons why i rather stay in welfare right now than get a mediocre job that fucks up my back, still keeps me poor, and doesn't even give me certainty if i will keep my job/ find another one before i run out of money and get fucked by debts.

18 is the perfect year for me. High school was nice, but I'd rather not relive it. Not as much freedom as when I got out.

I got my first car a month out of high school. I had saved up for a few years. Got a new 1996 Cavalier. Gas was $1. A fucking dollar! Filled up the tank for 15 buck.

I would focus on school more.
I was smart, but I slacked off in classes. They were "easy", but since I didn't go too often I still got academic probation after 3 under-performing semesters.

I would focus on making money and saving and investing in a Roth IRA.
Also invest in Apple, Nike, MicroSoft, Blackberry. Would get out of BlackBerry in 2007 at its peak.

I would spend quality time with friends.
I had a habit of putting things off with friends. Slowly things drifted and now I don't even see them. Just a "like" or silly comment on Facebook, but I don't have their number. Just feel like strangers now.

I would take more chances in dating and meeting girls. More confidence in myself.
I was sometimes a bit timid. When I'd go to parties or dances (quincenieras, weddings)) I would be too scared to ask someone to dance. Now that I'm grown I've lost that fear and have fun and don't care what others think. Wish I had that carefree attitude back then.

I would stay fit and health.
I weight 180 out of high school. I had a medium build and strong frame. Now I'm 265 and feel fat and sometimes tired. I carry the weight well, but it's still 100 lbs more than what I want.

Dress better.

Learn to not think with your dick.

Nothing wrong with women, you may even find one you like, but don't let them influence life choices you need to make

im 18 now and still have this feeling like being judged all the time. It really sucks.

Any advice how could i change it now?

Well you know, when the time comes, we should all go out in style. Crashing Vegas before joining ISIS and giving the system a blowing experience.

I mean so far they do offer the best fucking job I came across, the one I would actually be take into consideration.

Pros.:
You work just 1 day
All you have to do that day is blow yourself up
You'll get 72 virgins as a bonus for work well done + ticket to paradise

Haven't see a better job description so far.

You learn that others really don't care. And if they judge you, just remember that they ain't paying your bills or giving you a blowjob. Plain and simple.

Don't be an ass to people, but live your life and have some confidence. You build confidence through putting yourself out there. Over time it becomes easier.

Talk to people. Speak your minds, don't just agree to everything they say. If you have a different opinion then say it. Be respectful, but say it.

Girls don't like door mats. They respect a man that challenges their thinking. Let her know you're not going to go along with her just because she's pretty. And if she leaves then you didn't need a girl like here anyways. She was just looking for someone to buy her shit.

>>733633552
Then aim higher. Get more education and get a better job. Start a business. Idk wtf to tell you.
>>
>>733634454
Sure, I was fairly well off then and I'm fairly well off now. Most things are easier when you're in great shape, it gives me confidence and I enjoy exercising itself. Long walks help me clear my head. I would also have fewer posture-related issues if I had started working on it earlier.

I don't know, it's simple and seems obvious but in the end it's much easier said than done. What is your mindblowing revelation for your past self?

Work hard, take risks, don't sit around doing nothing, even if you don't know what to do, just do things, do soemthing, study something, just make a decision and don't worry about if it's the right one or not, just do things and keep doing things and only then will you figure out what you actually want to do.

Don't "hit" on girls, just be friendly with them, and fun, make as many friends with cute girls and ugly girls (they have cute friends) as you can always be kind and soon you'll be knees deep in pussy.

eat healthy, stay fit, and you're money.

Jeans and a shirt are fine for going to the park or just hanging out. They'll never go out of style. But you also need a variety of clothes for different occasions.

Sure, we shouldn't judge a book my it's cover, but we all do it. A guy with baggy pants and ripped shirt and gold chains is going to be treated differently than a man with nice shiney leather shoes, dress pants and tucked button down shirt and a Rolex Datejust (no matter your thoughts on Rolex, it gets attention). There's a huge difference there.

If you dress sharp you will get the attention of the people that like a sharp dressed man. Some girls like thugs or hipsters. If you want that kind of girl then dress like that. But a well dressed man gets more respect from the general public.

Attitude also comes with dressing nice. You enter a room knowing you're dressing sharp, you'll feel better and make a statement.

You have to own the suit, own the clothes. Feel confident in a nice shirt and pants and it will come off as owning the clothes. Nothing worse than a guy in clothes that he was forced to wear. Own it.

It's all about what makes you happy and your social circles and were you want to be.

But at least have a nice pair of slacks and a nice shirt and decent dress shoes you can have handy. You never know what you'll be invited to a wedding or a party that serves more than just beer.

Nothing wrong with jeans and a shirt. Like I said, they will never go out of style. But have some variety in your life.

More education, who's is going to pay for it? You don't even get a loan this days, even thou the Central EU bank has dropped the % under 2.0

The Bank got billion and billion form the tax payer money after the break in 2006-2007. Yet still you ain't seeing a dim.

And lets just say you do make it work. In the society we live today, without any connection you can wipe your ass with your diploma...

Not here to shatter someones dreams but, the system we are in ain't pretty and it ain't made to help you get anywhere but to keep you grounded.

The most reasonable decision would be to become a Monk on some Mediterranean island.

Or am I wrong?

I would have did the early commission route in ROTC and joined the army. i'd be retiring with a fat pension now

Apply for the fucking thing, you bum.

I'm going to college this fall and I'm trying to get as many grants and financial aid that I can. Why? Because at 25 with only a diploma, they don't want to hire me for a job that pays more than $9 an hour, dumbass.

No wonder /b/ is the dumbest goddamn board on 4chan.

Don't get hung up on women. They aren't worth it. If you're with one, don't put more money in than they reciprocate. Don't get married.

Don't be a whiney fucking sadsack. You don't want to listen to that shit, no else does either.

Take care of yourself. Teeth especially.

If someone asks you to loan them money tell them no, if they guilt you tell them to catch a train in the face.

Weed isn't bad. If that's still a thing anywhere. Alcohol is way worse. Smoking is fucking stupid.

You have to eat shit at a job. It's inevitable. There is a limit though.

Be on time.

Get a credit card. Never spend more than you have to cover the monthly payoff. Use it exclusively.

If you have decent parents, don't shit on them.

Take time off when you need it.

Try scary shit.
>>
>>733636542
Yeah, it's definitely dependent on where you are. I've got friends that don't care what I wear. Hell, I had some coworkers over last Saturday and I just wore sweats.

Fuck weddings.

29 year old here. I would have exercised, not have studied my BA but something else and not gone to the military. I would have stopped being friends with so many people that were not worth the time or the energy. I would have married the girl i dated the last year of college.
