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

[ThePenguinKnight]

It'd probably be something like;

Younger Me "Alright first we'll hit the Wal-Mart and get ourselves a 2-liter of mountain dew, hit the Subway and pick up 2 subs each, then finally we'll hit the Little Ceasers for crazy bread. We'll call Josh and Sith to get them ready and we'll meet at the house for Starcraft LAN till about 8am."

Me "Works for me"

 

[Padwolf]

Damn, you got hit with the beautiful stick! And look at you! You've got all those consoles and a laptop! Holy cow you have pokemon stuffed toys?! And the most wonderful boyfriend you could ever ask for. It all sounds so good! But wait... wait... what happened inside your head? What the hell happened to you?!

She'd be pleased as hell at everything I have and everything I have achieved in my life. She may feel a little let down about some other things.

 

[DarkRyter]

Why are you not a power ranger?

 

[spooky57571]

"Stop fucking up everything we worked for."

 

[aba1]

Oddly enough I am doing even better than I expected and am doing exactly what I always wanted.

I have a good girlfriend. I am working as a video game designer. I have a good few friends. I overcame all my social issues. I am still doing judo. I am very happy!

 

[Griffolion]

He'd roughly say something like this:

"Wait, he's with only one girl now? And it's been more than 2 months?! What a pussy."

So glad I'm not him any more.

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

My younger self would give me a thumbs up, since I'm right on track with where I wanted to be when I was younger. =)

 

[Krazie_Thug_Nutz]

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?

 

[Ryotknife]

i would care less about my future self than about the future state of my country, the world, and the video game industry. the status of all three would be a disappointment to me.

 

[Javinho]

I think my younger self would be happy to what I am now. I always knew who I was and haven't changed much from when I was younger.

 

[dalek sec]

Man..., my older self is such a wimp, just some really overly nice guy, who doesn't confront people at all. I hope I never grow up to be like that, oh wait.

We wouldn't understand each other anymore, I was once an acorn, but I am now a full grown tree.

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:

 

[frizzlebyte]

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.

 

[Aprilgold]

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.

 

[Trekkie]

1: wow i got skinnier and more muscular
2: i grew my hair long?
3:wait? im a nerd?
4: *looks at computer* i built that?
5: YAY! Life dose get better!

 

[Nickolai77]

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.

 

[gim73]

Younger me would look up at older me with a mixture of awe and admiration and a dawning realisation that younger me would turn gay to fuck older me.

Things worked out better than I ever could have hoped.

I didn't do well at school so went into the army at 16 with my teachers telling me my life would amount to nothing.

Left the army at 28 and started working at a friends gym helping folks come up with fitness plans and how best to train.

2 years later I started working for myself as a personal trainer.

Now i'm knocking on 32 and I own my house, married to an amazing woman, have 5 fantastic kids, have enough money saved that we could retire now and live comfortably and life is great.

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.

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.

 

[ElPatron]

He'd think I would be an awful human being for not being a bleeding-heart Marxist prick like him.

 

[senobit]

Younger me would be shocked I've got a kid of my own and think that I've got a sweet motorbike.

He would also be completely gutted that I live in a house left to me by our grandad.

 

[Steve Dark]

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.

 

[EHKOS]

That I'm incredibly fat and rough looking. Also he would be sad to see what cynicism has done to me.
