“If you could get advice from your future self for one day, what would you ask?

[7Phoenix7]

🗣👂

I honestly wish my younger self could ask me questions. I'd tell her everything I know... about everything she was confused about...

[sage2021]

She would ask me why do people treat me so bad when I am so nice and kind to them?
And I would tell her because people think because you are nice that you are a weak person and they take advantage of you because of it.
So, don't be nice to everyone without setting boundaries with them first so they won't take advantage of your kindness by asking you to do things for them when it's something you don't want to do say "No" instead of yes. Because they will use you and you'll end up hurt by them.
They could steal your things from you, not do things for you like you do for them. They'll think they can just take and take from you, and never give in return.
Make your relationship a two way relationship (equal) instead of everything going their way.
Don't let them walk all over you just because you're a nice person or you'll end up getting hurt by them in one way or another.

Will I enjoy having a 2nd child or will I regret it? Does the 2nd baby turn out healthy or is he born with defects? Is my bond with my 1st still secure and solid? How are things between me & the kids Dad in the future? Do I enjoy support work? Did I ever rekindle with my own Dad or did that relationship remain dead?

You'd be giving her the answer. That's useless. She needs the question. You don't need to give her information. You need to give her a compass. A statement is a map. A question is the mapmaker. You'd tell her what to think, but you'd be robbing her of the ability to think for herself. The question itself is the tool. It's the thing that guides her through the confusion.

Great answer.
This is literally the very reason why I don’t give out the answers to a math question when someone asks me. I give them time to think for themselves then explain the process to them to dismantle whatever it was stopping them from finding the correct answer.

@snowboarder720 thanks. I'm inspired by rudolf steiner through and through.

[Miristheiss]

I'd shut up and my future self inform me of tons of stuff. I'd take notes and make copies of all of the advice and future knowledge I'd give myself.

[MikeTheBartender]

Shit this is a hard question. I'm already a bit older, I guess I would ask what was the biggest mistake I made before I turned your age?

[Shiprex]

Should I have committed to this new chapter of my life?

[clampfan101]

It’s difficult to say without already knowing the future. This isn’t exactly the same as asking what you would tell your past self.
