dont pursue hedonism, it will leave you empty and unfulfilled.
be aware of people who want to take advantage of you and use you for nefarious purposes.
dont rot away in your room all day
its cool and edgy to be judgmental and criticizing when youre 20, but this ages very poorly as you grow older, especially in romantic relationships

also forgot to say, as you grow older you'll notice more and more when bad shit happens to people you know at the hands of others, 9 times out of 10 drugs and or drinking is involved. not doing those things and staying away from people who do will go a long way

Don't change for anyone, but don't let your pride ruin your relationships.

>what advice would you give to a 20 year old
i endorse the other anon's message about drinks and drugs entirely. i was completely straightedge from 22-26 and felt like i was alive again. i started drinking again in the last couple of years and i'm really trying to kick it to the dirt again, it's basically a dice roll as to whether i'm gonna have the best night of my life or end up almost killing myself. not worth it. if you're in university be aware that a lot of the friends you have now are transient and might disappear after you move on. your mid 20s might be kind of lonely but it's fine, just focus on building things that will stand to you in 5-10 years. everyone will tell you that everything peaks when you're wrong and that life after 25 is over blablabla but this completely depends, if you peak before 25 then that's a skill issue, i'm 29 in a few months and i'm still on a rollercoaster going up. if you really want a character building experience consider moving abroad. i left my country when i was your age and have lived in three different ones since, i think it's made me a pretty wordly person and allowed me to get a better idea of what's important in life, but also has contributed to isolation and mental health problems so there's that to consider.

Well stop it and try fixing yourself, I fucked myself up and I actually thought it was over, my feet were in terrible shape, my face was dry and full of spots, now everyone think I am using filters, mainly because the damage is still slightly visible but it's a clear progress from where I was.

Learn to laugh at yourself. That way, you'll develop a thicker skin.

1. Hang out with the kind of people you want to be / become. Avoid junkies, gamblers, and the mentally ill.
2. Connections are just as important as skills, sometimes more.
3. Go to bed early, wake up early.
4. Develop a way to clear your head and slow down. For some people it means taking a long walk, others prefer meditation, or cooking, or fucking whittling. Whatever works for you.

Domestic tranquility. At least that's what I've always been happiest with in conditions, friends, family, lovers, and even tricks.

Get a fucking job. No really, get a fucking job and your own money. You are a minority and the ability to have your own place or to fuck off from any bad situation with savings to spare is going to literally keep you alive. Community is a nice to have, self sufficiency is mandatory.

Prioritize getting a relationship. You lose the chance if you fuck up and it takes too long. So always say yes to hanging out, make an effort to talk to others, get involved with groups for your hobbies, just be social in general. The people you meet are the most important thing in life.

cultivate a hobby that you will actually meet people and make new friends with

its easy to think you have enough friends currently but as you get older you go out partying less and you'll fall out with some of your current friends or they'll just drop off due to responsibilities

being the ripe age of 23 (ahem), I can tell you that most people that lead happy lives live in complete delusion. Being a realist will make you the most bitter, insufferable misanthropist ever.

Take your health as seriously as possible, you will get fat and tired and ugly much more easily than you realize all at once one day if you don't

Don't be a debbie downer, even if you're right and shit sucks, being an emotional black pit is the one thing most people won't tolerate in a friend.

Pursue skills even if they're not super profitable, nothing gives confidence like being good at things, even if those things don't matter that much

Don't put off projects you want to do to play ffxiv and goon, but a little but of xiv gooning is good in moderation
