What piece of advice would you give your younger self

[hollydolly]

if you cold go back in time... give a reason if you wish ....


For me it would be... to stop caring what other people think. ..My life as many others has been , ruled by what other people think... because people are generally very judgemental.. but I wish I had lived my life not caring what others think..instead of getting to this age before realising I can do what I want, and stuff anyone else's opinions..





How about you.... what advice would you give your younger self..

 

[Pinky]

Be careful who you trust.

 

[Paladin1950]

Try not to be so political. Then you won't get so angry when you disagree with other people.

 

[katlupe]

Stay away from boys.

 

[Georgiagranny]

Lighten up; a hundred years from now it won't matter.

This is very wise. I'd do exactly the same.

 

[George1959]

Stay away from boys.

I remember a photo of you which shows a very beautiful young lady. It is useless staying away from boys, if these are not staying away from you.

I should also add that to mine as well Pinks... goodness me... if Disloyalty had been a disease I would have been ill all of my life due to other people's actions ... so yep I'm with you... be careful who you trust.. and listen to your instinct it never lets you down...

Pretty much the same as I remember way back "Look both ways before crossing the street."

"Life is a box of chawklits, you never know what you're gonna get".....it's true. Life is going to throw good AND bad at you; what you do with either is up to you.

Just because they're your parents, doesn't make them right. Learn to think for yourself.

[TennVet]

When you hear that small mental voice telling you something, LISTEN.

Don’t marry that guy. He's told you you’re the one who has saved him - all parts of “God’s plan”, he's said. Guess what? He’ll be able to find another woman to "save him" very quickly. Many Boomer women like to do that kind of thing.

Wait for the man who wants to actually help you, and doesn't just look out for you helping him. That is a rare find among the Boomers.

Don’t worry what others think of you.
Even if it’s the person writing this thread.

Go to summer-school to catch up on your mathematics instead of letting the problem snowball out of control.

She's not worth losing your life over, go out west, Go to school, and live life for yourself everything will work out.

Parents can sometimes be a child's worse enemy.

Use your time wisely, stay away from gang membership. Also, do not become a Jehovah's Witness. It will tend to aggravate problems and add many other totally unnecessary ones.

grrrr...Jehovah' witnesses...what a Blight they are....

I think that's the best advice. I don't think my younger self would pay attention to what my geezer self said about life's deep truths. But maybe "lighten up" might.

Marriage is not a goal. And you do not get points for conforming to society. Make yourself happy…and all else will follow.
