What do you wish you could warn younger you about?

To be fair I think very few people are ‘meant for this world’.

Stop being a doormat and people pleaser. Learn to be assertive and work on your self esteem.

Beware older men who flatter and groom you into having sex. Have the self respect to tell them to bugger off.

Don't get pregnant again until you have lost the weight from the previous baby.

Don't buy videos after 2001.

Those water drops things are expensive and taste horrible, don't bother with them.

My current job. Just don’t even go to the interview. It’s all going to be downhill from there.

Life with my husband and his kids....

Being a doormat. It's taken till I'm in my 70s to realise I've got a backbone.

Ditch the amphetamines by age 21.
Not 37.

Look after your teeth.

That I didn’t have to get married. That being alone would’ve still meant I was whole.

I’m 36 now, but when I look back on 17 year old me I would basically be the person I needed so much back then to tell me that I am worth so much bloody more than this.
But I had nobody. No family who paid any attention, no friends who gave a shit, a boyfriend who messed me about. I desperately needed someone to give me a massive dose of self love! That’s what I would say to myself. x

How easy it is to end up very overweight.

Family can be toxic and cause you an awful lot of harm.

Save for good stuff.
people aren’t as genuine as you think.

Don’t waste your time thinking you can make him
into the perfect man. Or marry rich and put up with it.

Wear earplugs when clubbing.

Start therapy earlier.

Be financially secure . Do not rely on a man for this. I didn't.
Start saving early. I didn't.
And have the best fun in your 20s. Luckily, I did!
Don't have your children too late. You will want to have as much time as possible with them (and them with you, if you're lucky).
Keep a diary. Keeps you grounded , and you'll be pleased tobread about all those memories/thoughts years later.

You are meant for this World, otherwise you would not be here. Modern life is just too fast, and stressful for many. Finding ways to cut down on all the noise helps, imo.

To put SPF on my hands as well as my face.

That you wont be able to fix him no matter how hard you try or how long you try for.

Tobacco.

Look after your fucking teeth!!!

Also, you very likely have ADHD.

And your Mum will pass away when you're in your 30s. It's so hard, but you'll be okay. Spend all the time you can with her.

Do not drink alcohol.

Came here to say exactly the same. Men have been the ruin of my life. I would be healthier, wealthier and happier if I had never had anything to do with men.

Don’t eat crap because work is so stressful. Get a less stressful job and take care of your body.

Get on the property ladder - there is no house price crash they just go up!

Fringe just doesn’t work for you.
