Adults lie. Everything is subjective. Would've made less mistakes, would've developed a stronger sense of self and self worth.

Answer 4

That confidence is the most attractive quality.  That you should try to forgive people and not let their shortcomings affect you forever.  That you really ought to go with your gut, and do what's best for you, rather than second guessing yourself and trying to please others.  Particularly when there just IS no pleasing some people (DAD!!).

Answer 5

That I could plan my life.

I would be an entirely different person today.

Answer 6

known myself better, and not other people's opinions get to me.

Answer 7

That you don't need that much to be happy- all you need is already there. Also I've learned not to worry about what is beyond my control.

If I had known this before I would have suffered less- living in the here and now is a science. And let others be (for better or worse)
