My younger self would probably be kind of intimated and disappointed at the same time, and try to do everything in his power to NOT be like that. :/ what can you do right?
How would a younger "you" view your current self?

Pretty much the same for me. That and the younger me would be upset that I'm such a loner now, I mean I only use to have a few friends but I pretty much don't have any these days. I'm pretty sure he'd be worried about what he'll turn into. D:Snow Fire said:
I'd say I'd be thrilled to know that I eventually work out most of my emotional and anxiety issues. However, I'd also be a bit shocked that I'm still not even remotely as experienced at life as most 24 year olds, and maybe disappointed that my current self is only different by degrees from my younger self.
Younger me would either be indifferent or like me, but I have the knawing feeling that he would be saying / thinking that because at the time I had a older brother who I was pretty much forced to love past him being a dick to me, so there may be a hint of fear.
My younger self would be glad that i got to a good university and graduated with a 2:1, but disappointed that socially it wasn't what i hoped for, and neither did i ever get into a relationship whilst i was there.
But i would have a thing or two to tell my younger self. The question is though, should I? If i gave my younger self all my hindsight he might have acted differently to how i did, with unforeseen unpleasant consequences. It's a classic time travellers dilemma.

I think younger me would have shot you. Five kids? Are you TRYING to destroy the earth with overpopulation? Other people got the birds and the bees from their parents, all I got was a talk from my dad that the vagina is not a clowncar. That's just far too many kids to have in a single family. You are barely into your thirties man! Just go watch Idiocracy.Rawne1980 said:
As for me, I think younger me and current me would get along just peachy. He'd probably crash on my couch and watch anime all day.
Very happy with who I am. Not with what I'm doing. I wanted me to be doing something interesting, travelling round the world and having adventures, when instead I work in finance. On the other hand, I have a sweet TV, can now play guitar and have a motorbike. There's still plenty of time for adventure yet, young-Steve.
"You like country, Hip Hop and rock now? What the fuck...? Wait you read comic books, too? Man, I don't even recognise you anymore."
And then I tell him/me that I interviewed Miracle of Sound and he says "Who the fuck is that?" And I ***** slap myself for swearing too much. And educate myself.

Funnily enough, I'd gut punch younger me for being such a pansy.ruedyn said:
He'd probably like how I am now. Maybe terrified that I want to go into the Royal Marines. Probably disappointed I'm not further into my writing career. But at least I've launched myself.
He probably would expect me to be a little taller.
Past me would think I'm cool. His two biggest surprises would be that there is more music than metal and that only two or three friends from high school will be retained after graduation (and not the ones that I would think I would keep). Other than that, he would probably be proud.
If I were to talk to my 8th grade self, he'd be surprised to know that the games that he finds boring (Shadow of the Colossus, Pheonix Wright, Silent Hill) will be some of his favorite games. He would also love to hear the Mass Effect has a larger fan base than he thought.
I have always been one to look forward to the future and hate my past selves for the stupid mistakes that I have made. I am always learning, always improving, and never perfect.

Well, knowing myself back then... I think he'd hardly be interested in how I've become. He'd acknowledge the changes, have a 'meh, saw that coming' on what I'm currently doing with my life, then we'd sit down for either a game of chess or Super Smash Bros Brawl, whichever's closest, him being equally curious about the events that have caused my actual changes and the new characters and items in the game compared to the N64 version.
