A Reddit thread on r/AskReddit asked users what advice they would give their younger selves, generating emotional responses and life lessons. Participants shared stories of regret and wisdom, advocating for self-care, leaving toxic relationships, and embracing independence. The heartfelt responses highlighted common themes of bravery and self-acceptance, with many users wishing they could reassure their past selves about future happiness. The thread quickly went viral, reflecting a collective struggle with life decisions and the desire to impart knowledge gained over time.
"You are going to have to be very brave very soon. You can do it. I love you," one wrote as another commented with a similarly independent yet somber note, "Take care of yourself because NO ONE WILL."
Others were more specific, and romance-focused. "Don't marry him," one warned as someone else noted, "Leave him, omg just leave him. Don't worry about the stigma. You're going to leave him eventually anyway just do it now."
