Disappointing but completely expected

>>50949253
Well played nigger!

>>50949259
Good job, future me
you’re making a career with music and the hard work really does pay off in the end
except where’s my gf?

Surprised I didn't kill myself I guess

>>50949253
Who cares it’s a 16 year old who has no understanding of the world yet

>>50949253
>what would you say
Tell me everything you know

>>50949253
I knew it would be bad, but not this bad

>>50949253
>"You've got to be fucking kidding me."

"well that's disappointing"

>>50949253
>lmao git gud fgt

>>50949253
At the time, I didn't have an actual grasp on *penis size*. I am not sure when they stop growing, but right now I'd be in awe at the size of my current penis. No idea if it was always this size, and I'm just retarded. But somewhere along the way, I learned that I do have a very large penis.
So, 16yr old me probably beg my current self to become a pronstar.
:)

here read this book
>the complete plato

When I was 16, I had ambitions of becoming a software engineer because I liked programming, but was also suicidal because of abuse. If 16 year old me saw 30 year old software developer me from 2022 and see how bad the one thing I was looking forward to was, he'd probably an hero on the spot.

>>50949253
nothing, pure blackpill, something would just crush in an instant
and then an hero

>>50949253
An up an coming lad about to become a 7fig owner by cashing out his money straight from low mcaps like $champ (ft. ubisoft)

>>50949455
>ubisoft
i would rather die than make my money by proxie of that god forsaken company

I think my 16 year old self would think I am cool. Idk if that's a good thing or not.

>u finally have u always wanted. Just fucking keep pushing. It almost done.
Still not happy

>>50949253
16 year old me wanted to become a software engineer and make six figures
That's exactly what I've done.

Probably feel kind of sad honestly. I’m a complete loner who doesn’t leave the house. I haven’t been outside in two weeks. I went all of January without going outside too. I’m going to a partial hospitalization program next week.

>>50949253
You should have gone through with it

he’d probably be pretty stoked that I made it with BBBY

>>50949253
>no i dont want your dick in my mouth fucking boomer

he would say im completely based for holding on to my MATIC even during the hardest of times. its all paying off

He’d say:
>Have you heard of the land down under?

>>50949283
This. Also surprise over somehow turning NEET into a lucrative career.

pleasantly surprised

"holy shit you're so fucking good at music production good job grinding all these years, you got this don't be afraid to put your shit out there !"

"Holy shit, I can't believe I made it."

>>50949253
probably something gay like “what do you mean you have $xxx but you still haven’t kissed a woman?”

>>50949259
Yep that sounds about right

>>50949253
>I-I'm going to become that handsome?
>Women stalking me?
>I will become a big dick sex god?
>That strength seems almost super human
>Those adventures seem quite dangerous
>I will have lot's of beautiful healthy daughters?

>>50949253
"why didn't you try harder?"

He’d rope. Easily. I can’t even imagine how horrific the reaction would be.

>>50949253
I would say oh man I really did make it, why was I worrying so much about making it? Then in a strange twist my past self would worry and work less therefore causing my future self to in fact not make it. This is why time travel will never be a thing, in fact it is completely impossible and anyone who thinks else should jump off a bridge.

No one will read this but I need to write it out for myself:

I was dirt poor living with my bi-polar mother who was verbally and physically abusive whom threatened to commit suicide at least 3 times a year. Cops and CPS were at the house once a month, easily. Dad was an enabler and would also abuse us if we didn’t react the way they wanted (which was always wrong). I kept my room clean without being told to, never talked back, and didn’t do drugs or anything even though all the other neighborhood kids were addicts and thieves. I would pace around for hours trying to figure out how to make sense of my life in the future—so much so that I wore away the grass in certain parts of the yard. It was also my coping mechanism for the PTSD I didn’t know I had. Other family members steered clear of the drama and felt bad for us kids from afar.

Sister became a pill addicted homeless person hopping trains with hepatitis and tattoos on her face. Little brother became a tranny who doesn’t know how to cook food or drive a car. Me? I have a family now and make six figures.

Has it been hard? Yeah, but eventually I stood up to my parents and ran away, went on little adventures. Worst thing I did was skip school sometimes, mostly because I was depressed, but I still graduated high school. After that I joined the USMC which was just the structure and discipline I needed. When I got out I struggled with anxiety and depression and had some deep mental breakdowns, but I always persevered and kept climbing the ladder.

Found out about Bitcoin in 2011 and had enough money to throw in that significantly helped me out later. Turned $1,000 into $130,000 and I used it to start a business. Eventually sold it and became a consultant. I had a lot of hard jobs in between but everything I went through helped me get to where I am today.

Mom is dead—died of an overdose. Never made amends. Dad never sat me down and apologized like a man. I would tell 16yo me: You got this.

>>50949253
>Nice. You did it.

He’d be pretty satisfied, especially if he watched me tell this datamining thread to fuck off

>>50949253
I don't care they'd have no context they haven't seen clown world yet

>>50951659
similar bg, thanks for posting

>WHY DIDN'T YOU BUY BTC AT 60$ YOU FUCKING RETARD.
>WHY DIDN'T YOU BUY MATIC DURING THE PRESALE YOU RETARD
>WHY AREN"T YOU BUYING ETH YOU RETARD.

>>50949253
16yo me watched the movie Brazil for the first time and was thinking "I really hope we'll never live in that kind of world !". He was also listening to Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins while playing Q3Arena with his nerd friends. So he'd be disappointed by the current state of the world, but glad that the 40yo me is still trying to get out of the system with his family I guess.

>>50949253
into trade school and marrying my girlfriend I go

>>50949285
in your faggot man child country no.

>>50949253
Past me would be first be happy that I got that well paying WFH job that I always dreamed of, but then slowly notice that everything else has gone to shit.

>*holds back tears*
>Why isn't he fighting back?

Pathetic. I thought you would be an astronaut but you're a NEET loser. Where are your friends? You still have friends right? How was University? I hope it didn't take you a decade to graduate like some losers I've heard about. Right? And what's this Bitcoin thing you keep talking about ? where's your billionaire gf that you dreamt about? Have you still not changed countries? Why don't you drive? Why are you fat? Why do i see a grey strand of beard? Where is grandpa?

>>50952228
Another thing: i liked Miley Cyrus back then before Disney ruined xer

>>50949253
We fucked up.

>>50949327
Kek'd

>>50949253
Congratulations on finding a way to change our predestined future.

>>50951659
i read it

>>50949253
>Man, steroids are awesome!
And he'd be right.

>>50952062
This one hurts

>>50949253
Wow, I guess I'm not actually retarded.

>>50949259
"Disappointing and completely unexpected" in my case

>As a teen always been obsessed with the phrase "Money isn't everything"
>Just the idea of having the right to say it, was my goal
>Now, own house, multi millionaire, can finally say it
He'd be a smug bastard, but little does he know he had to be a complete failure three times, always comparing himself to more successful peers, and gambled everything on crypto as his last hail Mary.

>>50949253
Probably be pissed that I got so fat

>>50949253
I started stacking crypto at 16 so I'd probably be in awe of my stack right now

>>50949253
He would top himself.

>>50949313
>tfw dick went from 6.7" long (which I ironically worried about, in the same way I seethed about not really being tall at 6'0) but 4.8ish" girth to 5.8" long and 6" girth now at 28
>tfw simultaneously visually small but often "pragmatically" too big, it doesn't look big at all but plenty of girls get sore and their natural lube turns into fucking glue

>>50949253

My 16 yo self was already working hard and losing hope. I think the mistake was never having clear direction, just a series of wrong steps.

My 10 year old self would ask why I didnt kms. I am everything I was afraid I would become - middle class normie waging for the man, balding, and getting older.

When I was 16 I thought by 30 I would be well into have my own house and family.
I'm 35 and I've never had a gf, still live with parents, and sleeping in the same bed I had at 16.
I envision roping around 40, every year that rolls by just gets worse.

Woah when did we start working out?
We don't play video games 18hours a day any more?
Girls like me?

He would say a lot, but the more questions he asks the more he realises of us is the same. Love you little dude, none of it is your fault.

>>50949253
If i saw him i would beat his ass.

>>50949253
Still good lookin *fist bump*

>>50949253
I would be quite disappointed. Maybe sometime in the next 2-3 years I'll be something more like what I would've been.

>>50953691
same here. i don't think i could consider op's question very deeply without having a mental breakdown

>>50949253
If he could see me today, would he also have the opportunity to change the path?

>>50951857
Brain must have peaked at 16, if you think they know better than your current self.

>>50953691
I don’t live with my parents but at 35 my life is every bit as pathetic as yours anon. Very little chance I make it to 40 as well.

>>50949253
>what would he say?
you STILL play runescape?...

>>50949253
proud of you

>>50953266
real

>>50951659
The thread is not about what you tell him but what he tells you retard

>>50949253
He’d be as blackpilled as I have become

>>50949253
>you sold out, man
Shut up, hippie.

>>50949253
Horror.
>Why are you still so short? Didn't we have our growth spurt?
>I thought we were going to be making video games? Or houses?
>Wait, you still jack off to that?
>Can I do anything to prevent this?
Yes, here are all the secrets to getting buff and also study harder please.

"Oh thank fuck I never am going to go bald!"

>>50949253
I think my 16 year old self would be proud. I’m 29 now and I finished my first book last year and am writing my 2nd now. My dream is to become the greatest American author of all time so I know he’s be proud that I actually managed to write a book. I have a comfy WFH job, a beautiful girlfriend and kitties and a dog, friends, discipline, fit, yeah he would be proud I have kept this fire alive.

>>50949253
>there is no romance/love waiting for you, ever
>you are ugly
>you are a pathetic pussy and a coward
>your single mom doesn’t really love you and abused you constantly
>all those adults surrounding you are not only not competent, they’re npc slaves
>still not rich and free

He’d get a heart attack after being turbofed with blackpills

>>50949253
He would say he was right in saying life is gonna suxk.

AAAAAAAAAAAA
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE MY VIRGINITY TO THE SHY GIRL WITH HUGE TITS WHEN I WAS 16 BUT NOW 15 YEARS LATER I'M STILL A VIRGIN AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>50949259
Yeah...
>>50949283
That too, eh.
>>50949455
>ubisoft
Pure retarded.

>>50949253
I don't even want to begin to explain how shit my situation is, I think my 16 year old self would just kill himself knowing how the next 10 years will turn out. I would totally root for him to an hero though, not out of spite, its just that really nothing good is going to happen to him.

>>50951659
>Turned $1,000 into $130,000
Full of it.

>>50949253
What would I care what some unexperienced 16 year old would think? Are you all retarded?
