If 14 year old me isn’t impressed with all the MILFs I hang out with on the regular now, #1 being my wife, his judgment can’t be trusted.
That kid was the WORST

I think mine would be torn. On one hand I’m retired in my forties and play video games all the time… On the other hand that’s what I do with my life.

14 year old me would not even have the capacity to comprehend it.
Future was just some made up nonsense back then and absolutely every single adult was part of a hive mind connected back to my mother. In addition, people weren’t really people, they were more like background noise who i had to be cautious of. The world didn’t exist outside my field of view.

Holy moely! Did something change your mind/perspective or do you still see people like that?
Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 2 months ago
Not really, still the same. Though don’t get me wrong, as i can assume it gets interpreted as i treat people badly or abuse them in any way. I don’t. I am not a sociopath or psychopath, that has been confirmed by a psychologist. I just completely lack the “connection” concept with people. ASD hits my social aspect the strongest.
For me people aren’t really special, we’re all just biological machines. Pretty much the same as a robot vacuum cleaner, just much more complex. I treat objects and people the with the same love and care, but that means that people melt into the same indistinguishable background noise. Like how much attention do you give to a random item on the street when walking past it? Just enough to not stumble into it and that’s it.Though I’ve never understood why it’s supposed to be bad? It’s not in any way harmful to others, maybe even positive as there’s no judgment or any negative treatment towards them and once i have to actively engage with anyone. I remain cordial and often times even outright friendly and helpful.

I would kick 14 year old me in the ribs without a second thought. Kid was dumb af.
InputZero@lemmy.world 2 months ago
14 year old me knows that if he ever sees me he should start running. Unfortunately for him I can just run 14-year old me over with the family van. Then back up. Then drive again. Then backup again.
HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Shocked that I am still alive.
Extremely unsurprised by my mental health.
Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Actually probably yes.

“What’s your allowance?”
“Over $20/week”
“Wow, that’s a lot of money”
backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Yeah. Wiser, a bit less impulsive free from the abuse of my parents, still playing Magic, still reading comic books, covered in tattoos, been to every punk show that kid ever dreamed of going to and more, touched boobs (like, under her bra even) on a few occasions… I got to be the adult 14yo me wanted to be.
Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Other than possibly confusing me for our dad, yeah. I’d be impressed by what I have accomplished. I’d also be annoyed at the life advice I’d give myself.
AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
honestly if I met my 14 year old self I’d give that kid a hug. they wouldn’t accept it, but wow did they need it. turns out shit does, in fact, get better.
Crt_static@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I mean…14 yo me would be pretty put off by my smoking fentanyl on the weekends to feel normal again cause methadone is a hassle / the bupe shot feels like being set on fire. The prescription drug addiction started at 15, so ehhh. 26 years later and I still love dope. Put it in my lung, veins, nose, mouth, I don’t care. Just want to nod into the void.
Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Brotha have you ever thought about starting to cut back and see how it feels?
Man I really hope you can get this under control for yourself dude. The methadone might be a hassle but it can seriously be one of the best ways to get you out of the cycle. It does work and will make you not get sick which can then help you focus on living your life like other people that aren’t using drugs.
That’s the hardest part is transitioning back to what normal people do and are about and it takes awhile to actually feel that joy from those things but I swear dude it will happen after enough time and it will move you like nothing else has to be on that end of it and look back and see what you overcame. I don’t know you, but I believe in you seriously. Believe in yourself because you can overcome this problem in your life if you put all your effort into it. I promise its worth it.
Doom@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Absol-fucking-lutely they would. 14 year old me was dealing with some bullshit and would be ecstatic that we got through it and that things got better. Kudos to anyone who survived their teens and come out even mildly well adjusted, much less happy.
Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Now? Doubt it.
Like 3-5 years ago? Sure.

I’ve seen multiple people naked in person so yeah, I’d be a god to 14 year old me.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I think 10 year old me was the coolest! That was clearly my peak.
42 year old me now wonders why I can’t wear boxer shorts, and drain chains as a necklace, with a yin yang charm on a bracelet anymore, while drinking a capri sun.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Here’s the thing: YOU CAN, though!
CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’d say probably. But would be very sad in how little we ride bike now (used to be all the time, year round, rain, snow, or sunshine). But we’re not yelled at every single day! Got a good job that even teenager me would think is cool.
AnnaFrankfurter@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Yeah my response will be almost same just replace impress with depress they even rhyme.
BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 2 months ago
14 year old me would wonder how im still alive LOL

14-year old me was way cooler than I am. I seem to be declining with age.

Actually, sort of.

No shit.
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
14 year old me unironically listened to Sargon of Akad. I would kick that little shit in the ribs before sacrificing him in a Blòt.
Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Nahh, that interaction would just kickstart depression like a year sooner.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah, I mean i have only had one nickname stick with me. I got it when I was a kid because I’m ugly and it stuck when I was an adult because it fits my musical instrument.
Finding out I helped define how that instrument is played in the 21st century is not going to help teenage me right after I got that nickname.
rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Unironically think they would be proud. I clawed my way out of the depression pit and am working on the plans I had since I was younger.
Obnomus@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Yeah

14 year old me was an asshole, so I hope not

Honestly 14 year old me might not like what I do, but I wish she could have found out then what I would finally become.
