14-year-old me would be shocked that I’m even alive at 38, let alone living comfortably with a loving family.

Real talk, i was on Accutane back then and i seriously don’t remember much of my life between 13-15yo. I was only supposed to be on it for 6 months but insurance crap left me taking half doses for a couple year. The pros of that time are, ill never have a pimple again… cons include, i have extremely dry skin all the time, i tried to murder my mom, i tried to kill myself several times, i have limited memory of my early teen years, it took me years afterwards to feel “like me”. Would 14 year old me be proud of me? He’d probly pull a knife on me and forget it ever happened.
Ha ha sorry got a little dark there for a second. IDK if its even available anymore but stay away from that crap if it is.ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I had no idea it could do all that.

I was also on Accutane in high school. The worst was after swimming in a pool – the chlorine made my face and lips literally crack. Never tried to kill anybody, at least.

14 year old me would be confused and horrified by more than one thing. Starting with the LGBTQ+ acceptance, no faith, the fact that I’m doing a job that would be considered inhumane at all, and that I’m under some boss.
On top of that, I am no longer asexual, so imagine how mind-blowing that is to someone for who doing the things I did was completelly unthinkable.
Oh and the whole saving a life thing, my psych diagnosis proving I’m not simply lazy, the anti-human relationships outlook.

diagnosis proving I’m not simply lazy
I don’t know how to break this to you, WorldsDumbestMan, but the last lab results just came in and it turns out we have very strong evidence that suggests you are extremely lazy, just in a really complicated way.

Yeah but I’m not gonna read that

No shit.

Probably not 14-year-old me, but 12-year-old me, yes, because I used to lie to my classmates that I lived in a three-story geodesic dome home with a hot tub on the top main floor, and now that I am an adult, by complete and total happenstance, I live in a three-story geodesic dome with a hot tub on the top main floor.
I am not attempting to defend my lying, I know it was stupid, it was foolish, and I regret it to this very day, but it is interesting that it became the truth eventually.

I always wanted a geodesic dome house!

They’re fine…until you see the monolithic concrete dome home!
I want a house that laughs at tornadoes, earthquakes, and the rare simultaneous tornadoquake.

14 year old me would be very impressed with the things I have in my garage, but I’m not sure he’d be impressed with a depressed man in his 30’s.
BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
14 year old me would wonder how im still alive LOL
subverted_per@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
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.
eaterofclowns@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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.

Shocked that I am still alive.
Extremely unsurprised by my mental health.
TachyonTele@piefed.social 1 day ago
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.
backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 1 day 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 1 day 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.
Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
Now? Doubt it.
Like 3-5 years ago? Sure.
socsa@piefed.social 1 day ago
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 1 day 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.

Here’s the thing: YOU CAN, though!
ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
14-year old me was way cooler than I am. I seem to be declining with age.

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.

Nahh, that interaction would just kickstart depression like a year sooner.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 day 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.

14 year old me was an asshole, so I hope not
STUNT_GRANNY@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I dunno about “proud”, 14-year-old me was around when saying “gay” was usually a punchline, or an insult. Maybe he’d be surprised about my ex-boyfriend. Or my current boyfriend.
Whatever problems he might have with my current self, he’d definitely come around after all the insider trading information I’d give him.
