    The world is waaay dummer and less fair than you think so don’t stress about things too much cause it’s rigged anyway.

    Having said that, persistence does eventually get you there

    Girls want to date / fuck just as much as you do… So be cool, just chill… Work on your self, be the best version of you that you can be… Work on your communication, be upfront honest and forthcoming.

    You’ll be fine.

    Stop looking for love and learn to love yourself. You are at your best when you are alone and not torn between introversion and tending to a relationship. It’s one or the other and you always default to the former. Always has been.

    You’re never going to “find yourself” so even though you find programming mind numbingly boring learn web dev and get in early, make money, and buy amazon & nvidia stock. Don’t stay local for that girl, go away to college, she’s going to leave you anyway. Then I’d tell them to slap me as hard as they can since I almost entirely fucked their future.

    Take that money you were saving for university and buy Apple stock. Still move to the university town and hang out on campus, but skip the tuition fees and going to class; spend the time while others are in class working for a few years and putting more money into Apple stock.

    Cash out some of that money a few years later and use it for a cheap bachelor’s degree; leverage that to get into the field you want to be in.

    Then later, cash out some more to buy property… say, around 2008. But keep feeding more money in.

    Hey dipshit the reason you don’t feel very attached to your gender norms is because you’re trans. Have fun living on hard mode lol. Also don’t accept drugs from that stranger in the parking lot because finding out their ulterior motives while high isn’t worth the free drugs…

    Stop chasing exes through your 20s. Especially the one from a different country. Even if it didn’t crash and burn it never would have worked anyway just due to immigration

    When you were thinking about buying $100 of Bitcoin when they were $0.20 a piece, fucking do it, then sit on it for a decade.

    I seriously thought about it, and talked myself out of it because it sounded like a good way to lose $100 and it would probably only lose value anyway.

    It would be worth $50 million today.

    The best time to get into crypto was at the very beginning, it’s not even worth gambling with now.

        $50 million can definitely be cashed out. Its not that much. Maybe sell over 1 week to avoid tipping the scales.

        More likely he wouldn’t have $50 mil because they would sell before now

      That’s what they said 5 years ago and bitcoin has doubled in value since then.

    Ignore the financial “advice” of your parents, they’re retiring and still in debt. Real estate, and stock market. Those prices only go up over time, and although it may be difficult in the short term, long term you’ll thank yourself.

    Also college is a waste, don’t do it.

        All debt is bad, it is better to not own a house than to pay a mortgage levels of all debt is bad.

        The only way you’re not going to be working a minimum wage job is if you have a college degree.

          Having been laid off, I’m glad I never had a mortgage.

          My Uni degree probably helped, but its probably a good idea not to go into debt for it.
