      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.

        Depends if it rips apart universe by making a paradox. I am not sure is destruction of the universe is a criminal charge. But maybe Murder suicide then manslaughter for killing the universe?

          I mean, just from a quick duckduckgo, destruction of the universe isn’t technically illegal.

          Depending on how well you do it, there should be no charges because it’ll all be gone.

      Imagine the disappointment if you then don’t stop existing. You still did a good deed, nobody can take that away from you.

    I would tell my younger self to go to a psychiatrist and get some antidepressants about 2 years earlier than last time.

    My expert advice to past me: “Stop trying to do so many different things and focus on getting good at one fucking thing at a time”
    I still don’t follow that.

      Nah, I’d like to do this because my parents didn’t do it the right way the first time around.

      It’s amazing how two otherwise generally intelligent well meaning loving parents can completely miss the fucking point so goddamn hard…

        Obviously not universal, but generally parental strictness/harshness/unfairness is them trying to spare their children undue suffering from mistakes similar to those the parents themselves made in their youth.

    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.
