WOW, numbs you took me back like 5 years ago, since im only 25 now still young and will learn more, BUT, if i met the younger me, i will beat her up and tell her " you stupid girl, dont be so nice, and think everyone is nice, WAKE UP WAKE UP"

And i would also tell her:

" Don't trust these people you are going out with, they are BAD influence on you"

And i would also tell her:

"this guy you are dating, will only be trouble"

And i would also tell her

"dont let your mom be angry, listen to what she says, and dont do what you want"

And i would also tell her:

"Dont work for this guy, he will not pay you your salary LOL"

LOL, i guess i would change my old self big time, because from 5 years till now, i have met people that changed my personality big time, and made me learn that not all people are kind hearted as i think they are!!

I would probably kick my ***

Yes, i'd definitely like to have a mini me. I know i'd also like muffins.

Ok seriously, i think i'd be lecturing myself a lot. cause yes i was dumber. And years ahead i'll be looking back and thinking if i met the me now in the future, i'd hate her too, cause she has some stupid sayings and situations. But it's a good thing to learn from mistakes. And yes, it's embarrassing to admit and remember those mistakes.

I would need to go back a lot further than 25 years to make any sense of this question as far as I am concerned !

In my mid 20's I was enterpreneurial , enthusiastic , energetic & passionate about opportunities until our first child was born when overnight I lost the will to take risks ....wishing instead to provide security rather than build an empire !

Would I like myself if I was to meet that person now? Probably not ! That " me " had drive & ambition but also had anger & hurt ....I don't think I was as decent a human being then & NO amount of wealth can compensate those who care about you for the pain you cause as you fight the demons in your life.

First of all, thank u for choosing us to answer ur question...

My answer may sound strange because we usually grow more mature and we learn from our mistakes to be better persons... but if I met a younger me, I would like her. I was a very smart girl who did things right. No mistakes were allowed. My faith was big. I was a caring person with a positive attitude. I was a proud girl. Life is teaching me so much things and of course I always change for the better but there is this one thing I miss that I don't have now: the peace of mind.

I knew one day,someone will come along and ask a question to make me loose my "Webby knows it all" status here.

And I'm so surprised to be one of the rare yes to your question, but then I know the average age of the contributors here is mid 20's anyway.

If I met me at 25 (we're talking 20 years ago), I would love myself, much more than I do now.
I had it together then, I was a caring, sharing, fun, well balanced person who hadn't burdened herself yet with all the wrong turns in life.

What you are calling superior or arrogance I call confidence.
I was a good person and I knew it.
But I agree with you on the stupid part, because a series of wrong choices have turned me into a much more confused, clueless, "no, I don't have the answers afterall " person.

I am hereby writing to you, to formally request the right to have a talk to this person and counsel her on the matters of life.
It's your question and I don't want to impose, 20 years ago I wouldn't have asked, aaaahh! I miss mini me.

Wow...I saw this question earlier but didn't answer it right away because I truly didn't know how.
I think that if I met my 13 year old self I would probably feel a mixture of annoyance and pity, to be quite honest. I was shy in the extreme (I know...laugh it up!) and didn't like myself very much. I would want to tell little me to not worry so much about what other people think, get over yourself, open up and people will like being around you SO much more...but it would also hurt to see me at that age, knowing how I felt about myself then...
Did that make ANY sense??? ;-)

Well its G Bone and no 1 can do it better..... But the G himself!!!

Interesting question...but why would you despise yourself if you met a younger version of "you"...I don't think you were dumb but you didn't know what you know now (all the things you learned with time and experience and maturity) I think you would look at your younger self and smile proudly cuz you know that you will grow up to be "you" no matter what "you" are in the present.
I don't think anyone is better or more important than anyone else...someone becomes more known due to the things he accomplishes during his life, but everyone is as important as anyone else...it's kind of like a "human ecosystem"...lol...even the smallest human being is important for the survival of all human race.

PS...I've had a couple of marguerittas...this is why I'm so phylosophical...sorry if I don't make any sense

Pinky

Yes i would like myself,i would tell her keep it up lol

Kalooka

sure i ll like myself, i know i was stupid and dumb, but it d be like seeing your son. anyway, i ll tell him all i know, all what he should know..that would be awesome..

JOSH

I am 27 so the wonger me could be a 14
so i will tell him what to do to avoid the mistakes that i made when i was younger

Malayan Tiger

Teach him not to make the same mistakes that i made in life.

the slightly amusing answers of

Yeah, I'd probably hate his guts. In fact, if I met a present version of myself, I'd hate his guts too.

oh and one more thing . . .

Go Lebanon!

I was an arrogant a** when i was in my twenties. I'm glad i've mellowed out. The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

ABANDONED

I am only 17 years old, if i were to meet a younger version of me it would be a mere child. I would probably play with her and talk to her about her life, give her some tips and tell her to stay away from certain people. But knowing myself, I know she would not follow my advice. I would probably not give her any advice now that i think of it, because everything happens for a reason and if i change aspects of my past it could affect my future for the worst, you never know. And if i never made any mistakes, then i would be very ignorant and naive.
I would probably like her, she may get on my nerves, but it all depends on how young she is.
If it is lets say 13, well then it would just be an emotional encounter and i'd be playing the role of psycologist.
If i was 10 years old, I'd probably put her on a diet lol.
Any younger than that, then i'd be babysitting pretty much.

hmm, this question confuses me....

~Brown Eyes~

I always think about that, lol. Well i'm still pretty young but if your talking about baby young then noooo beacuse I already have a baby sister who gets on my last nerves, so..not right not.

Tracy But

i will be the same, and i hope they can have the same experience as a i do, for the good and bad.

if you don't have bad experience, and you never grow. if you never have good expereince, you never feel good and positive.

it is acceptable to be stupid, and you jsut learn for your mistake. sometimes, my friends and i talk and act crazy adn silly all the time, and we love it. we don't have to be smart to feel the top of the world. have a smile from your heart. veyr simple.

Good question numbsain......
It is something that I think almost all the pple have asked themselves at least once in their lives.......including myself.

Well........i should like myself in some ways.....but not in another ones.
I should like that I was a good person....simple, sincere,common....but...by the other side, I dont like that I was shy..was hard to make friends, and felt myself stupid.

I should like to give to my younger version a lot of selfsteem, to tell her that as she was, was nice in spite of she didnt realize about that. That each of us has our own moments, and that we have to learn from our mistakes..
But above all......I should like to tell her that she would become good in what she decided to do in her life.

I should have liked that someone from the future would have told something like that to me, when I was young.

DALE B

SHARE WITH HIM SOME OF THE THINGS THAT
LIFE HAS SHOWN YOU / SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO YOU BECAUSE OF THE DISCUSSIONS
YOU MADE GOOD OR BAD.

AZTECAMAN

I feel the same way!

sunshineonmyshoulder

ok, I'm in America - and i will give you an honest answer. The younger me was more arrogant, dumber, and definately had no idea at all about making REAL plans for the future. I wish I could tell younger me to go to college and get financial independence as soon as possible so I wouldn't end up staying with guys that were no good because they helped pay bills.

Mickye

I wouldn't change a thing, I am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason!

moonie

i would ask my younger version to teach me.

frogprincess2

As a matter of fact I would love to meet myself, whether I liked myself or not, I would most likely advise myself of my future if staying on the same path. What a concept that would be.

They CALL ME Farrooo7a

ahaa.. i will if i did , i would probably kiss my version, and ask him/her to be my soul mate........ hehehe.. will i don't have any sisters so you have to excuse me

Great Grandma

I would like that kid! She was on the right track with plenty of energy, brains and "hutspa" to make it in this world. What she didn't know she was ready to learn. Eager to tackle whatever came along! (I'm thinking 45 years ago!)

l_schoger

No, I sense it is true whith wherever you ask this kind of question....people love being young, if they could be young again, they would pay their house for it, lol, here in the states.....

No, your question makes us think, where were we aimed back then, why did we choose another route, etc..

Very good question......
