Always listen to your gut instinct and don't let people talk you round. Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing.

People care, your actions have an impact even though you feel anonymous & unseen.
Move back to your hometown a lot sooner than you think you should - it will be the making of you!

Don't worry what other people think of you and don’t pursue a man, ever.

Don't smoke. I wish I'd never started. Took me 40 years to give up albeit with the help of a vape. All the money I wasted on cigarettes, jeez.

School will be the best days you will always remember, keep the head down and work hard. Wish so much I hadn't followed the crowd to be cool :cry:

Fights and arguments with family is so pointless because they only ever wanted what was best for me. Thankfully when I got my early teen years over I wasn't as bad lol.

Never settle for being treated like tit.

1. Whether a boy finds you attractive is not everything you are, and it will not matter in the long run
2. Your “quirks” are actually anxiety and panic attacks, get some help ASAP
3. Stop trying to please everyone.

Stop worrying about what other people think. Do what you want and stop trying to people please. Don't fixate so much on your appearance.

I would of told myself to never of got involved with my ex. But having said that going through domestic violence has made me the person I am today. I would never of met my friend or my partner now if I didn’t experience what I did.
I would just go back and tell my younger self that you are a survivor.

I don't feel like I have enough life experience to say anything important, but, having just got out of my teens, I wish I had spent more time outside in the real world getting a hobby rather than stewing in social anxiety - I spent so much time worrying I'd be bad at something or that I'd be judged for my disability. I now feel I don't have many friends or confidence to start a new hobby, and think if I'd taken that leap as a young teen things would have turned out differently, especially as those things are harder to come by as an adult.

(I recognise the irony of me saying this on Tattle, holed up at home while using a computer though - lol)

Always say whats on your mind. Say it tactfully and cause no hurt but always say it. The times I’ve been boiling up inside because I didn’t speak my mind.

What you’ve said is important. I hope when the world is a much better place you’ll take a night school class doing something you’ve always wanted to try. It would be a good start as usually when a class starts everyone is new and goes alone so you start with a group of people who don’t know each other which would probably help. I’m not going to ask about your disability but I hope your future will be bright and you’ll be able to make a change.

Thank you! 2020 was going to be THE YEAR I changed, COVID said no. Lol! I am definitely going to try something out though. Life is too short!

Make some proper friends at uni and get your head down and do some work. You don’t actually like getting pissed every night and you won’t even talk to these “friends” after graduating.

Also stop being so obsessed with calories and weight!!!!! You are naturally blessed with dad’s skinny genes!
