Too many regrets to mention, however I wouldn't say anything to my younger self.

Because I'm happy with the person I turned out to be.

Plus my younger self would be young.

To take up something interesting earlier. Such as an instrument.

Stop being such an needy little prick, you'll hate yourself for it later. Don't quit scouting just because no one goes to the meetings. you need to worry about to yourself more. Also try to take the flute back up. We both loved it and we still do but don't let the loneliness get to you. Don't freak out as much you'll just embarrass yourself and don't quit trying to find a job, try asking around for one. One more thing, don't you dare invest any of your time into thinking about Full Sail (Fool Sale), spend it reading Sword Art Online. You know how we are, how when we sort of like stuff or if your not sure you like it and end up loving it. It happened with Index so it will happen again. So don't fuck up past self.

The more you learn, the less you know.

Really wish I had figured this out earlier... although I suppose being told it would defeat the purpose.

Seriously, I would say just give up and let yourself die. It'll be more comfortable.
and before that might as well kill my brother.

I shouldn't have trusted people and held a lot of friends. back then I used to trust my friends and family more than anyone myself and even better than my own, I male friends easily. But looking at me now though I am alone and never got close to anyone even my parents else I had so much fun than I used to be. People easily change their mind, without much thought they can betray you for their pride, for what mostly people had interest with. And if the norm regards you not the same as them, you will be criticize and insulted for being different. Regardless of being friends of over 15 years, it does not matter. They will betray you if its much comfortable. Rant when you are not there when they want to but nevertheless care when you need them, some might be very nice but that's because they find you amusing and they are a bunch of people who just came for a reason, for whatever reason like being comforted, asking advice or easing their loneliness they are shitty people. After being used or if they find someone more amusing you'll be tossed in the spare seat. I truly regret being close to people back then. Having fought for some peoples Ideals. Fought in streets almost everyday like in some shitty shoujo anime for friends and idealists.

My parents are the same. They're just interested in their jobs and money. Always ranting about it. Stopped talking to them for a very long time. Whatever I do they will always find a loop hole and uses it saying how shitty I am. My adopted cousin is far more of a concern than me. My brother is as shit as well. It was hell in the house. I can't remember how many times I got raped, and physically and mentally abused.

The outside is full of rubbish and trash, my room is my world. No one would cares whatever I do here. My sanctum will never be touched not even my parents.
Even if they do come it is not much of a place that gives them a welcoming. Being alone now is far more convenient. The wired holds so many stuffs. My name is unknown and I've kept a number of names So it doesn't matter much what I write.
Never got bored with it and probably never will.

When i look back at my life i always end up insulting myself, 'cause i made a lots of silly errors, absolutely too many. But it's true that make mistakes helps to learn and get better as person.

I say this.
I'd give only an information (date and time) about an unpleasant and unexpected event that occurred a few months ago and radically changed my life. "Stay far!! or you will regret it, no doubt!" .

Dear younger-self,

Learn to stop giving a damn about other's opinions and learn to take control. Grow some balls.

P.S

I hate you.

(Seriously. If I had a time machine. I'd find my younger self and beat him to a pulp)

Don't keep thinking you'll be a scientist. Your personality isn't cut out for it (too ideological), and you'll actually want to work with people more.

-I would say so many things but one of them would be to not fall asleep(or get distracted) in pratical lessons, because after that you won't know what you're doing and you have to learn at home;
-Don't be lazy to pratice drawing;
-Read more;
-Don't believe in some people and don't waste your time with them

Probably stop being so nice. I used to always do favors for people. I lost over 100 bucks from always "loaning" people money during my middle school years( I had a weekend job when I was 11).

Another would be to stand up for myself, even though my classmates weren't serious, they used to make jokes about me from time to time and I just laughed with them.

Don't hang out with the bad crowds. Don't hang out with the good crowds either. Just be the neutral guy everyone knows and is acquainted with but never the guy who you invite to a party.

Hmm..

Don't throw dirt and stones at cars.
Don't pull a girl's hair.
Don't be a pervert.
Don't look under your mother's bed.
Don't throw the apple at the truck.
Don't sleep in the wardrobe.
Tell your friend not to jump on the water filled condom.
Level up to level 80 before fighting Sephiroth.
Mow the lawns or something.
When you're watching the Manaphy Pokemon movie, don't go into the hallway. Your brother is watching Hentai.
Hide all the knives in the house when playing Pokemon Leaf Green.
Don't let the cat out all the time.
Don't be a bitch.
Confess to the girl you like sooner than 5 years after primary school.
Don't swear as often.
Learn Japanese sooner.
Don't tease women, treat them kindly. Otherwise I'll steal a Delorean and kick your ass.
Learn Chinese sooner.
Learn how to fly.
Don't touch that dile.

That's about it.

I'd tell him to stop paying attention in school earier because I'm not going to learn anything from the worthless education system anyway lol. I'd also tell him to be more careful about where he smokes so that he doesn't end up getting arrested lmao.

There's other things but these two in particular lead into a bunch of other mistakes so they're probably the biggest. Too bad there's no way to go back in time :(

Focus on Russian more.
Expand the variety of what you read, and reread the same books no more than twice. Focus on SF/Bayesian philosophy.
Read up on polyphasic sleeping.
Start using SRS.
