    Cram in everything you can before you turn 30 because that’s when your body’s going to crap out on you.

    You’re bipolar, you just hide it well.

    Get your meds sorted before college or you’re gonna wind up dropping out.

    Also, its a seizure disorder, it just doesn’t present typically; and its medication resistant. Keep trying. That alone is gonna set you back about 10 years.

    Quit university and learn a proper job.

    (in the end I did, but it took way too long for me to make that decision)

    Bitcoin!!! Also change your name on your 18th birthday. No one will know unless you tell them. Amazon hires anyone. Work there, apply to a housing lottery, drop out of high school, be free. Get a GED if you really want to, with your name on it and not ugly ugliness.

        This comes up a lot. The fact is that almost everyone who mined a few dozen BTC back then would have sold it when it reached $100. No one ever thought back in 2009 that it’d be worth what it is now.

            I had two giant servers sitting under my desk when bitcoin started up. I was trying to decide whether to put them to work mining bitcoin or using them for seti at home. Well I decided to go with seti. And I am actually complacent with that decision, because had I got into bitcoin I know that I would have some sort of anxiety over when I sold, or what I paid for something like a pizza. I know those people who are searching trash dumps for their old hard drives are just in a weird hell that I am glad I never put myself in that situation.

              You know… years later I did the crypto say trading bull shit.

              I made like $5k but the “cost” was horrible. I didn’t sleep well… always tracking things on my phone or computer. Afraid the bottom would fall out and I’d lose my small fun money. It was absolutely an awful experience.

    The world is waaay dummer and less fair than you think so don’t stress about things too much cause it’s rigged anyway.

    Having said that, persistence does eventually get you there

    Girls want to date / fuck just as much as you do… So be cool, just chill… Work on your self, be the best version of you that you can be… Work on your communication, be upfront honest and forthcoming.

    You’ll be fine.

    Stop looking for love and learn to love yourself. You are at your best when you are alone and not torn between introversion and tending to a relationship. It’s one or the other and you always default to the former. Always has been.

    You know how you think George W. Bush is the worst president we’ve ever had or ever will have? Well in 2017 you’re going to wish he was in office. Also, go to school in a foreign country so you can be a permanent resident there.

    Take that money you were saving for university and buy Apple stock. Still move to the university town and hang out on campus, but skip the tuition fees and going to class; spend the time while others are in class working for a few years and putting more money into Apple stock.

    Cash out some of that money a few years later and use it for a cheap bachelor’s degree; leverage that to get into the field you want to be in.

    Then later, cash out some more to buy property… say, around 2008. But keep feeding more money in.
