Now that you are an older version of yourself, what are some things you wish you knew when you were younger?

That some of my choices would effect me long term.

i never had the oppurtunity to know about how to overcome my incredible anti socialism. Until one day not too long ago, through the internet i was able to find an instant cure. Mainly i cured myself. All the resources i used up going to one shrink to the next could of been avoided, had i known the internet was the ticket to unlocking my inner mental state

That's good, Anon! For a lot of people, that does help and I'm glad you were able to find some clarity for yourself.

Definitely. What a lot of younger people don't know or cannot consider is that the choices they make in the now when it feels good and is fun or awesome can really turn your life around in a way you cannot fathom at a certain age.


For me, it's that my anxiety can be controlled and I need not to fret so much over things I cannot control. I've learned this in the last few years, but I really could've benefited from the advice from my older self back then. I won't get into it now, but panic attacks can be brutal.
