I would give myself a hug and tell myself it’ll all be ok.
Great approach. Check out ifs
Ifs?
Internal Family System. A therapeutic approach based on system theory approaches child-like inner parts and gives them the affection and love they needed (and still need) when those parts formed.
I think they are talking about internal family systems. It’s a type of therapy.
Sounds like you went through some difficult times. Really glad things worked out ok for you
Tell my young self that it isn’t a phase and that he should start the therapy to become she immediately!
Kill him since I already know it doesn’t get much better
Is that suicide, murder or murder suicide?
Murdicide?

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 do that with a chainsaw
I’d push myself into a meat grinder
I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. This really hits home.

I would tell my younger self to go to a psychiatrist and get some antidepressants about 2 years earlier than last time.
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.Same. Even tho I’m trying, it’s so boring doing one thing, so I’m trying everything…
“NO.”
I’d use a gun tbh. Gotta make sure.
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.
I’d tell my younger self “you are gay” in the voice of that Ugandan TV host
Why are you gay??!?
When you realize that’s why your parents were like that

Obviously not universal, but generally parental strictness/harshness/unfairness is them trying to spare their children undue suffering from mistakes similar to those the parents themselves made in their youth.
Because they time traveled back to slap themselves?
I would say, try to find some meaning to life, but it wouldn’t be understood by 10yr pos

I think some people become parents for this reason. For better or worse…
