What's something you wish you could tell your younger self?
Just interested to read people's life lessons. I would tell myself to walk away from people who continue to hurt me. I've had to really work on setting boundaries with people as I've got older. Still not the best at it in my late twenties!

specifically- later on, don't get married and don't be afraid to tell her family off when they're being terrible11 -

I find I only truly learn through direct experience. Unfortunately sometimes it takes me a few times to learn the lesson,3 -
Whatever you decide to do - DO IT!!! Everything works out fine and you'll have a blast!! One small word of advice: take all the money you will spend on shoes and put it in a little stock called "Intel". *Trust Me*.

Honestly? My biggest is 'tell your therapist how bad your depression is'. Would have been great to nip this in the butt much earlier in life.
Outside of that though...not much else.6 -

I would tell my younger self, don't waste your life just existing and hiding away from the world.
I would also tell myself to not tell my parents I was too tired or didn't feel like going out with them (when I felt fine)
Both my parents passed away last year and I would give anything to have all those selfish moments back.5 -

This. Don't buy into that tripe that "all relationships take work" and "all relationships go through rough patches" to such an extent. If they're more work than they are happiness, most of the time, and the rough patch has lasted more than a year... bail.6 -

Believe in yourself, you can do it. Don't take everything so seriously. On the other side of discomfort is growth...3
