How would a younger "you" view your current self?

[Nadia Castle]

I think i'd burst in through a worm hole telling younger self 'I AM YOUR FUTURE SELF, i'm sorry.......we didn't become an astronaut, we sit though tedious unemployment followed by soul crushing office jobs, spend weekends getting overly drunk and don't have clue what to do about any of it....'

Tho I imagine his main response would be a look of bewildering confusement before asking 'why are you a girl if i'm a boy?!?!?!?!??!'

 

[Random Fella]

"You like ponies? The fuck is wrong with you?"
"You'll understand when you're older."

 

[AMMO Kid]

Probably intrigued. This time last year I wanted to know stuff. So since early February I have read 40 history/philosophy/theology books and counting. My past self would be very pleased with myself.

 

[TheTJackson]

You have a Girlfriend? Sweet!
You have good friends? Sweet!
Good Job? Sweet!
You don't take shit from no one? Awesome!
Playstation 3 and computer games? Yeah!
That stupid twat who made your life hell for years is now a drugged up rat of a person? Fuck Yeah!
You're facing final year exams for Year 12? Less Sweet, kinda sucky

so yeah,
I'd be pretty impressed with myself

 

[Shocksplicer]

Younger me would think I was the coolest person on earth, and glad that I can actually handle myself in social situations.

Plus, "OH MY GOD YOU'VE ACTUALLY HAD SEX!!!!"

 

[Auninteligentname]

For some reason I think he would like me, as we think pretty much the same way on many things. This is especially clear when I go nostalgic and look for some of the stuff I had when I was younger, and I can see that he sorted and kept the stuff just like I would do now.

 

[Foxbat Flyer]

My younger self would probably be all "you have money? Come on, we're going to town, and buying a PS3, and as many games as we can afford!"

 

[Haagrum]

Assuming I went back to age 15 or so... I think Past Me would think, "Hmm, you mean I have to wait THAT much longer until I'll be a lawyer?" Past Me would also want to know how the hell to talk to women, when he learns to cook, and why Present Me doesn't have a "frustration-at-self"-based berserk button.

In short, Past Me would look at Present Me and hit him up for ideas while wondering why it took so long to get where Past Me thought he was going. If he was paying attention, he might realise that he'd learn a lot more if he just shut up every now and then, and that although he'd have a monkey on his back about always being second-best for a LONG time to come yet, it would end eventually.

 

[Reaper195]

"A girl friend is actually worth it? Lol, your such a ****** for having a job.Living with parents is much better."

...given the chance, I'd fucking beat my earlier self into a goddamn coma.

 

[KingofallCosmos]

It would go something like this:


Well, after the initial shock of my younger self that I'm still alive...

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

I think my younger self would be pretty pleased, although slightly disappointed I haven't kept up with the martial arts and a little surprised how mean I've become.

 

[KINGBeerZ]

i think my younger self would be upset to see how much more cynical I have become, but still pleased to see that i have maintaned my innate quirkiness ..................also TACOS.

 

[The White Hunter]

He'd probably think I was fat,w hich I've always thought anyway, be disappointed that I'm in a committed relationship, that I have various figures and stuff, etc.

Disappointed in general.

Stupid little toss pot that he is.

 

[Wintermoot]

YOU ARE A IDIOT! PLAYING GAMES! ALSO WHY DON'T YOU USE LINUX?!
yeah my old self would probably hate me.

 

[CrashBang]

Me at age, say, 14, would not recognise me now. This is gonna sound like boasting, and maybe it is a little, buuuuut...

At age 14 I was a very fat and ugly little nerd who got bullied and had few friends. Proper stereotype, I guess.
I'm 22 now and I'm an English teacher with a very beautiful girlfriend; I can play the drums like a boss; I have a fantastic collection of tattoos and comic books; I've got a great bunch of mates and I'm quite a handsome chappy.

Okay, yeah, that totally was boasting. 14 year old me would be very jealous of now me.

 

[The White Hunter]

He would say : " Damn, you got hot ". BECAUSE I HAVE !!!!

Some people call me arrogant, but I just like being me.

This too!

Except when they call me arrogant I can't hear them over the sound of how much more awesome than them I am.

 

[White_Lama]

"Oh, you started playing World of Warcraft... why? Why why why why why why?"

I hated that game before. Then I met a girl that played it and got me into it and when we broke up I stuck by the game because of my friends I've made on it.

No regrets.

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

First and foremost, he'd wonder why I grew a goatee then he'd start asking smart arse questions, ask me why I'm so depressingly dark and all in all be an annoying little twerp. He also ask why mum and dad are splitting up and if its his fault.

 

[Ragsnstitches]

I hate my younger self... somehow I guess the feeling would be mutual.

 

[Arakasi]

"Hey you're an atheis- Holy crap, look at that TV! And what, an Xbox360? What the hell is an Xbox360? Ohhh, awesome!"

Probably followed by more serious chats about how I haven't done anything by the age of 18. Pssht, I'm in Uni, give me a break former self.
