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

[Seagoon]

I think my younger self would be sad to see how much of a nerd I've become. I never really thought of myself as much of a geek but when I moved into a big school I found that you can't really get good grades and be popular at the same time. Although I think young me would be happy too see that I'm actually trying to pursue my acting career instead of growing out of the idea and passing it off as a childish dream. I think that's pretty important..

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

I would probably think I'm a massive ****, mainly because I'm a massive ****. I don't really care though because I was a **** back then too and I'm more awesome now.

 

[Fappy]

"I thought you wanted to be a teacher, or a singer? Wtf is wrong with you? Get off your arse, suck it up, and go back to fucking school. AND FOR GODS SAKE MAKE SOME NEW FRIENDS, YOU PUSSY."

My younger self was mean... Well I still am, but she'd be damn ashamed of me. ;_;

Reminds me of how I imagine my encounter.

"So what have you published?"

"Uh... well... I wrote for the campus paper for a few years!"

"YOU SON OF A *****! I HAD DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS!"

Though I could always lie and maybe the timeline would adjust and I'd suddenly become a super badass.

 

[MrHide-Patten]

Seeing as how I went through some really old drawings. "Damn I get better. You draw Tits look a lot better too."

"Are you Concept Artist yet?"
"Yep, and I make everything else too."
"Sweet..."
"Your Dog dies in 2010 a week after your Birthday."
"What?!"
"Shine on you crazy fat little bastard. Back to Legally watching Porn."

 

[thewanderer41]

My younger self had super high standards so it's probably go something like this:

"You're openly cursing in public?!! You drink alcohol?!! Have you no self-control?!
You didn't get into MIT or CalTech like we planned?

You still don't have a girlfriend?! Oh wait, no we both expected that didn't we...okay.
At least you don't smoke. Why/How did I become such a worthless person?"

... Aaaand now I'm depressed for the rest of the day.

 

[DSK-]

I don't think I changed from when I left school at 16. The only differences are I'm bigger/fitter/stronger physically, have more worldly experience and knowledge.

A younger me would probably be impressed, but I'd know that deep down nothing has really changed.

 

[D-Class 198482]

He'd watch in admiration with my progression from Crash Bandicoot to Left 4 Dead, Painkiller, Half-Life and blah blah blah, gag at the fact I have a girlfriend...other than that I'm not really different from my younger self :U

 

[personion]

I would look at myself from the past and he would look at me. Our eyes would meet as we examined each other's posture: mine, tall yet slumped, his, perky and bright. His idealism would counter my amorality and blend into a delicious pink smoothy of frothy goodness. His curly afro would stand in stark contrast to my flattened, straighted hair. For a moment, we would stare at each other and enjoy each others company. But then, he would look up, smile, and say, "have you gotten those books published? are you going into a great career which doesn't involve bland, 9-to-5 jobs? what about all of those creative ideas we've had back in the day? is the world going mad over our wondrous inventions?"

My smile would fade, and in a moment, he would realize, and so would his. And then we would both weep, sorrow tears of black sorrow.

OR!

He would come out of his time machine and be all like "BRO LET'S GET SOME ICE CREAM!" and I'd be all like "HELLZ YEH!" and then we'd get ice cream and it would be amazing.

 

[Mr. F]

Disappointment and confusion.

"Wait, what do you mean you are still not at Uni? Wait, you turn down sex? You are deliberately staying single? What? Why? WHY? OH GOOD GOD WHY?"

By younger self I am going for my 14/15 year old self. The idea of turning down sex didnt really cross my mind, I was so desperate I almost lost my virginity to a morbidly obese goth. Dark times, dark times. Plus I always thought I was going to Uni the moment I finished 6th form. I never really thought I would drop out twice.

 

[DaWaffledude]

"Wow you have a PS3 and a Wii and a ps2 and a... OH MY GOD IT'S A DS THAT PLAYS GAMES IN 3D! THAT IS SO COOL!

... Hey, where are all your friends?"

 

[nekoali]

I would probably confuse the hell out of my younger self. Probably scare myself a little bit but give myself hope too... Yes that's right younger me... It really is possible to change your sex and live the life you should have always had. I imagine younger me would be pretty happy that I never grew up in the ways that are important.. I still play games, I still watch cartoons and read comics. Hopefully younger me would listen to my advice though and not waste so much of our life trying to fit what other people thought we should be, don't be so scared and depressed and just get out there and transition early so we didn't waste most of our life living in a body we hate.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

He would be happy that I didn't compromise to the mainstream and stayed true to who I am and continue to be. He'd be excited that I continued with my fiction and even expanded on my earlier works. He'd also be psyched that I got a PS3, a kick ass library of games, movies, and books, and two laptops. Most of all, he'd be surprised that I have a car, as he would always get around on foot or with his trusty bike. Finally, he'd be proud that I graduated from college, have a lot of opportunities in front of me, and still not an ounce of stress in my system.

 

[Mithcha]

The way my life was going when I was younger, I expected to be married with kids by now. I think my younger myself would be quite disillusioned to discover that hadn't even come close to happening.

He'd also be shocked to find out how calm he becomes, going from an angry stabby little shit with tantrums coming out of nowhere to a calm, relatively thoughtful person...I think he'd punch me, call me a lying prick then go back to playing Medal of Honour (the original one on the ps1).

All in all he'd be pretty shocked.

 

[Palademon]

I'm not sure my younger self would care much. I didn't relaly have many hopes for myself by this point I'm not able to get my dream job yet, so I guess his only thoguht would be slight disappointment of not finding anyone in college.

He might be disappointed that I'm not more brave or independent. He may also be suprised getting braces took so long, since he wouldn't yet be aware of having dragon teeth.

Edit: Wait, I've got it. He'd be suprised at how many female friends I have, and then he would wonder why my prefered console is the 360, and then I'd have to sit him down and give him "the Nintendo talk".

 

[Dogstile]

Younger me would wonder why I keep changing my appearance every two weeks.

 

[Guybythestreet]

Young me would wonder why I think I'm pathetic, but he will get here one day and realize. /Depressed

 

[TheNaut131]

8-10 year old me would be very disappointed.

"Show me to our inventions! Hey where's our robot friend? Or the hoverbike? Computerpack? Tell me you at least have built or rewired...anything!"

"Yeah, I can't really do anything...at least we lost weight."

"..."

"I'm taking engineering if it makes you happy."

"Fine. Wanna go watch cartoons and eat multiple cheesy foods?"

"Why the fuck not?"

"What's a fuck?"

"You'll find out when you're older."
