      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.

    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.

    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.

    Would try smash more girls and not be so picky.

    Didn’t know so many where going to let themselves go so fast after highschool/uni.

    18-20 was the peak. Then no diet and exercise really caught up on a lot of girls relying on genetics and youth

          My diet is maybe slightly better. Less beer for sure. My exercise has gone way down. Was in the gym ever week and playing multiple types of sport through school and uni. Then post uni was in the gym 5 days a week.

          But since then I lost weight. Just do a lot of walking and surfing now.

          Still even on my reduced exercise regimen I don’t know any women in my friendship group that do as much exercise as me.

        No. Guys let themselves go also but I’m not interested in fucking them now or when I was 18 so I don’t care about their looks.

        The older you get the more your options go down.

        But from my friendship group the guys have aged a lot better. They all most all stayed the same weight, some lost some muscle mass I know I did. But a lot of the girls got fatter.

        It would be interesting to see the amount of exercise the average man does from 18-30 compared to women. I’d bet men do a lot more.

        Are you honestly going to say you think women do as much exercise as men? Or that you don’t know any girls from school in the “pretty group” that aged horrifically because they no longer have youth and never did any exercise.
