Nice To Meet You, Me.

Ok, so I was thinking about this at work and I figured I'd post it here to see what you all think.

If you found you go go back in time (hypothetical 🙄 ) and you met yourself at the ages of 21 (if you're old enough), 18, 13 and 10 what do you think you might say to yourself? What would you do?

If I were to meet my 18 year old persona I think I would kick the living daylights out of my ignorant, arrogant self, first... then try my damndest to explain where I was going wrong and what I could do about it.

As for my 13 year old self, I'd probably ignore me, I wouldn't want to talk to me at that age, I remember what I was like 😂

Myself at 10? I think I'd just cuddle myself for hours... and cry 😬

How about you guys?

Let's see I'm 29 and if I were to go back in time to my 21st birthday I would just observe myself. I would neither talk nor try to get the attention of my earlier self. I would just look at myself to get the 3rd person perspective. And to see how others saw me.

That's cool ✅ I can imagine myself trying not to speak to, uh... myself. But I doubt I'd be able to restrain myself 😂

i would give myself the results of some lotto thing so i will become rich 😱

nah. just kidding. would be too scared to talk with myself. plus i know that if i tried to change anything it would just went worse ✅

I'd shake myself by the hand and congratulate myself for being clever enough to invent time travel.

😂 That's fantastic! 😄

Seriously, I'd tell myself to party/study more and not care what people think about me.

I was only 18 a year ago.....so there's not much I'd like to tell myself at that age but to stop worrying about things and just let go and trust my feelings.

I'd like to go back and tell my 13 year old self to be more confident and to not worry so much about other people think....that was right around when I became really shy.

Dunno about when I was 10....

I'd say "Man, let me ****ing shake the hand of a child prodigy".

Though to be honest, I'd give myself a few warnings of people.

✅ It seems that people would primarily like to warn themselves of the dangers ahead... why do you think this is so important?

Well..being seventeen..I'd probably go back to 13 and tell myself to relax more..and to be more confident and less sensitive so I can avoid that whole bullying thing..also to let go of my old friends and find some new ones..

Fi, that's another thing I would do... tell myself to move on from my old friends and widen my horizons a little...

21...errr...no reason to go back to this year.

18...I'd tell myself to find a better job and to follow my lifelong dream of owning my own movie theater.

13...I'd teach myself to talk to girls a lot better. I was a sad case.

10...I'd tell myself not to be so shy and to let others in my life.

Definitely... but that's why it's a good thing we can't actually go back in time, I suppose... we learn as we go along. We take our mistakes and teach ourselves not to do it again! 😂 Could you imagine if you suddenly popped up and told yourself not to do something? As freaked out as you'd no doubt be, would you actually listen to yourself any more than you would a peer, or a parent?

Tell myself how awesome I am. Then fight myself just to see how good I am.

Hehe, very true.

There's things that I wish I could have told myself about when I was younger, but when I think about it, if I did, I might not be where I am today.

True. You can't change the way it was, or the way it will be... crazy

Would be nice if you could at times though!

I think it would nice to have one day where things were different....you could be with anyone and be anywhere you wanted for just one day...😊
