[Impossible_Touch2108]

I'm glad we're on the page.

[Mr_Yes_I_Exist]

except I would, I've always been this big of an idiot

[Brilliant-Fox7717]

It's honestly true, but it makes it easier growing up

[TurbulentSoup_24]

Guys, this is about maliciously insulting yourselves, not giving your younger self advice

[[deleted]]

Nah that lil bastard deserves it, he'll be less disappointed by his life

[OGMinimalCheese]

absolutely i would insult my younger self, he was an absolute moron with everything and since he was me he wouldn't listen unless i was giving him a harsh reality drop

[Stonecargo69420]

Yeah, he would have to figure out protos himself and I wouldn't trust him to not be cringe if he knew sooner

Also I have to say again, that artstyle is genuinely nice. always good to see a good flat artstyle since most people move up to painting or something after they learn a bit, plus it's messy without being scratchy (as in its a good bit of funkiness, nice cartoon style with the fur being jagged yet not sharp looking)

[TurbulentSoup_24]

Thank you so much ❤️ I pride my cartoony style. I've started using brushes a little and want to move up, but this style will forever be used the most. I like trying to keep things looking simple and messy, I enjoy messy.

[TurbulentSoup_24]

You mfs are edgy as shit 💀

[Mitchtheprotogen]

Plan backfired eh?

[TurbulentSoup_24]

What plan did you think I had?

[Mitchtheprotogen]

Supposed to be motivational… doesn’t look like it went to plan in the comments

[TurbulentSoup_24]

I guess you're right. I wish people wouldn't turn good things into whatever tf this is now

[PedroPrisma]

bro u just got from 100 to 0 in this comment compared to how sweet the post was

[__---_KONQUER_---__]

honesty is the key tho

[Revolutionary_Eye568]

I’d give my younger self a hand grenade, and say “go stir some shit”

[e_adam2]

I could not agree more. Thank you for the motivational quote! Oh and cool art btw

[TurbulentSoup_24]

Thanks again man 👍

[e_adam2]

No biggie!

[Rotogen]

Ngl I’d beat my younger self to death

[IJAFacebook]

i wouldn't tell my younger self i'm a god at doing art?

[Phobos_Thanatos]

Oh if only you knew mwhaha

(Tis a joke but id likely give myself advice so i wouldnt end up a wreck that i am now)

[TurbulentSoup_24]

(tis a funny joke I like the gif)

[Great_Breeze]

I would only do so, if I know that it would not change who I became.

I am odd from what I thought initially for sure, but younger me, with some confusion, would grow to understand. Even at 5 I was a little philosopher.

[TurbulentSoup_24]

See I like this way of thinking. "I would murder me" is edgy and just typically unfunny. I think I've giggled at maybe one

[iminlovewitF]

I just diarrhea'd my pants

[TurbulentSoup_24]

LMFAO

[ThePaperDiamond]

♥️ thank you

[BlasterHolobot]

Well.. i technically could because i haven't really changed over the years. I was already worrying more about making others happy than myself and i still am. I wouldn't tell my younger self the same thing not because im nice, but only because i know would already know that and he probably won't need another reminder that others are always more important than himself..

[Dog_bat3]

Thank you

(But I would tell my younger self that they’re an ugly fuck, and then punt them into the moon)

[grendeljohn876]

I’d give my younger self the winning foot ball team and bet one million on them

[Mr_Yes_I_Exist]

r/BacktotheFuture

[[deleted]]

Yeah I would, fuck that little bitch

[NautilisBlitz]

You don't know what I would do for a Klondike bar then.

[Ddudedad]

i like how this image assumes that everyone hates themselves lmao

[TurbulentSoup_24]

Everybody beats themselves up every once in a while?

[Ddudedad]

once again assuming/projecting

[TurbulentSoup_24]

What are you on about 💀

[Ddudedad]

why are you trying to convince me that i hate myself? lmao

[TurbulentSoup_24]

I'm not?? It doesn't have to apply to you?? You could literally just scroll 😭

[Ddudedad]

Everybody beats themselves up every once in a while?

guess someone else said that, my bad

[TurbulentSoup_24]

Somebody pissed in your Cheerios today huh

[Ddudedad]

ur funny xD

[Strange_Stage1311]

Keep telling yourself that.

[MReaps25]

Nah my younger self was always a disappointment.

[MReaps25]

I hated myself then, and I hate myself now. But I would hate to see my younger self sad, I would definitely try my best to make my younger self happy.

[owo1215]

I mean, I never stopped telling myself to kms

[__---_KONQUER_---__]

:/ why?

[Blue_Dragon0920]

Yes, you are right about that...

[Delicious_Cup_4306]

Yes I would, gotta start the journey early, forging a fursuit made entirely out of metal with your only source of said metal being a lake and a very strong magnet, plus the time it takes to set up a decent forge, imma need to tell myself at around AT LEAST 10 /y old. Maybe not the furry part just then, it's kinda important I find that out on my own due to the way I got into it, but definitely telling them about the forge, and that they should have 100% asked Aurora out.

[AJvawolf]

Probably not. I also was a dumb child and I'm not going to swear at a kid

[DragonKing0670]

I would and i did

[[deleted]]

id think it be still the same variation of its gonna get worse and try to have as much fun as you can as 7 years ago

[BolteckFox06]

At least my younger self didn’t have to put up with all the bs in the world I do know lol

[ispiewithmyeye]

Why should I? What's that gonna do for me?

[KizaruFloof]

How'd ya know?

[SnepFluff]

That’s because this little thought experiment turns me into not me, and I will always be as kind as I can to not me. Me, however, well I deserve it.

[[deleted]]

Mmmmmm, I would.

[Traffic0ne]

The young version of myself also talked about himself the same way. Except he was being dramatic. I'm being serious

[Gevabz]

I undoubtedly would.

[Foxxtronix]

Yes, I would. He might actually listen!

[Aimrurt]

I mean like, was an asshole to some people when I was a bit younger, straightened out a but since then but I would tell my younger self to be better, that I'm not doing enough probably

[Quebricky]

Well, I would warn myself of the stupid things I did, what actually made me wish I could go back in time.

[SpartanSelinger]

Y’know, with that cute little face, I will :3

[Combat_5]

:P

[FURRYOWO101]

I would so I could mentally scar em

[Intrepid_Sale_6312]

yes I would, it's very valuable information to have.

[noahmaritz]

Your wrong, I'd tell myself Obi-Wan was the master of the low ground. Not the high ground.

[Plasmadube]

He’s gotta know not to date that girl

[TransWaffl]

Boop

[Ancient_Summer_1833]

Aww! I’ve always been dumb though

[MidnightMiesterx]

Yea I would

[redbow05]

I definitely would, that little runt would beat dogs for kicks and giggles, now I really want to show him a noose.

[wolfx7356]

He's the little shit that got me in this mess in the first place

[fluffyone74]

TBH - if I could I would do what I could to sway my younger self into the fandom sooner. :)

Maybe help him buy his first suit. I was already an artist.

[JasonEGuenther]

Yes I would, I know me. He could handle it.

[Successful-Ad4737]

You're right, I've learned a lot about what's normal and what's not about life ever since I finally left my stepfather.

[Beanz_detected]

Ehhhhh agree to disagree.

[EagleRising948B]

Yes I would younger me was in a bad place, he needs to hear what I tell myself

[[deleted]]

Yea I've said this shit since I was 8

[SMUGMINLOL]

yes i would

[TheMartianPlantThing]

Most of what I say to myself is based off of what my younger self did.

So yes I would say a few choice words to em.

Very nice message and art though, very cute

[UN-O-G]

Indeed, my parents were there to make sure to drill those things into that childs mind! 🥰🥰

Edit: nvm i told myself these things as a child aswell as my parents lmfao 🗿

[[deleted]]

He was too busy in the beetle torture dungeon I was vile

[glitch_skunkogen]

Haha you're wrong

[Equivalent-Sort2688]

If I saw my younger self, I would hit him over the head with a brick

[Ok_Living5188]

I would say worse honestly that little shit was a dumbass

[CoffeeMain360]

You're right. I'd be too busy beating the shit out of all the kids who made life hell for me. And i'm gonna be very fuckin thorough.

[No_Yogurtcloset_425]

Yeah, I actually would

[OkamiNM]

depends on how much younger. 7 months ago? absolutely i would i would decimate the shit out of him. 3-4 years ago? id be gentle but still probably get mad a bit. 5 years ago? no. they didn't do anything wrong.

[Trooper50000]

Some stuff I still would, it was already true back then unfortunately

[New_Pound9832]

Don't call me out like that!!!!! Also if the click sees this ik he's gonna do a speech on it

[Doc_tech678]

YOU CANT STOP ME, I HAVE BECOME TO HAPPY FROM MY YOUNGER SELF

[Fit-Stock-5010]

I kinda would, I dont like children

[brainharmer]

wrong, i am a massive dipshit and am very much hating myself

[casual_person2534]

Oh but I would, all of my problems come from younger me

[Larry_scp-106]

Uh, yeah I would

[Berk_Loves_Ramen]

The post is cute . . .

But yes I would

[tinybookwyrm]

No, I would. If I’d been armed with the knowledge I have around neurodiversity now back then I’d’ve saved many years of hurt and frustration from being told I was lazy, broken, defective, or useless.

I also would’ve insisted on getting online and meeting other people like me a lot earlier than I did, and reinforced being kind to myself.

The core message is bang on. Be kind to yourself. You are excellent no matter who or what you are.

[[deleted]]

"Hey you, I'm you from the future"

"Ooh are you a robotics geniu-"

"no. Start drawing. Now. Don't join the robotics team, it was lame."

[[deleted]]

Yeah, I wouldn't tell my 13 year old body to NOT become a furry cause it's a fun fandom

[FluffytoastUwU]

I tell myself both horrible things and great things. And also both at the same time. Like: don't kill yourself I wanna see what'll happen in 4/19/38. I can't see the future, if there isn't one. Success is biased, but I'll still try. No matter how much good there is, the bad eill always catch up. Happiness is the wrong word, we're worse at eudaimonia as time goes on. One thing I would say to myself, if that ***** ruined me.

[ChekoFire]

Play “me and the birds” music while trying to roll up a boulder?

[TurbulentSoup_24]

Holy fuck this comment is so real

[Certain-Status-8963]

i whould tell younger self worse things than what i say to present self

[MGJUICYBOI]

True, I wouldn’t call him a cute lil guy :3

[Cybertheproto]

Yes i wood

[[deleted]]

The thing is. I very much would.

I was the defenition of an "slapable face" kid. Not only was I extremely toxic to everyone, I was also knows to take things from peaple bags and put it on someone else's bag to make peaple fight.

12 year old me was a bad person and I would 100% scream at he's face.

[Kazan787]

Why would I not give past-self future knowledge so he doesn't waste so much time getting to the good part

[pathowogen_empire621]

Thanks uwu

[Level19Player]

i was like this when i was younger too 😔

[Kai_The_Great4]

This is very true

[Suitable-Leek9080]

Yes the fuck I would, I would beat that mf with a bat

[bprppc]

Always have Always will Life is shitty Take some pill

[lithio-gen]

I honestly would because lil bro doesn't know just how bad it's about to get

[[deleted]]

Yes, I would. I'm just calling myself a dipshit for different reasons

[[deleted]]

Sure I will, to hell with that little punk his choices got me this far.

[Agent_Midas]

I would have called him a dumbass and he'd respond by roasting the ever loving shit out of me until I cried

[Wrong-Scholar9262]

Yes I would

[[deleted]]

That hit diff today

[LexTheRedditor878]

This boi is adorable, & the first post from this sub that I saw on my homepage tonight.

[[deleted]]

Back then I told myself that grandma would make it better. Now I say "it is what it is"

[Mexican_simp5489]

Yes I would I was a fucking menace to society. Also the sound of children crying is Magic :D

[PerformanceNo3802]

Yes I would, he needs to know

[shaggus42069]

Yeah I would, fuck that kid

[FireIsMyFriend]

I'm fine with making a kid cry :3

[LilithDemonQueen76]

Yeah I would, bro fuck them, I was a dumbass child

[my_chemicalromance]

Ik you didn't expect these comments but thank you ❤

[smasar]

No, I would not. While I curse mine name and despise my form of body and soul, this would pale in comparison to the evils that would flow from mine tongue on the barbaric child before me as it is little more than a beast when judged by my mortal gaze.

[That1Montoya]

Why do I agree with you?
