Who you have liked the younger you? And if so what topics would you discuss?

[molonski2]

So , this is easier to gauge the older you get , but half your age , and imagine you could meet that exact same person now? Talking within the same room. Would you generally have liked the younger you? And what subjects would you both discuss?

I think we all go though many phases in life , I think I could give the younger me ( say at 23 ) some pretty dam good advice , but I wonder could the 23 yo me , have given the 14yo me the same assistance? So would you have liked the younger you? And what topics do you think you could address?

I think most of us change over time , so to talk with the younger you would be really interesting --What would you like the younger you? I'm not sure I would have..

I feel I mentally and emotionally matured at a young age, and still love many of the same things.

Perhaps I would try to help my younger self to become less of a perfectionist as I have become. I have always loved putting in effort, but it led to a self hatred I am trying to fight.

I think I would have taken a lot more care with regard to associations , and although I loved sport , I probably would have channeled that love into some other areas. I do however ponder , if I was advising myself , Would my 2 daughters exist? And if so in what form? So the older you get , the more of the Sliding doors / Catch 22 moments , not all maybe better with hindsight , maybe you just have to live that experience? Then if you were say 65 , I wonder what advice you have for 35 year old you?

When giving your past self advice there is a chance of doing more harm than good. Perhaps it would be best not to risk it.

Yes , its a hypothetical of course , but if you did have that option there would be much to consider.
