Does anyone have any advice they were given when they were younger that they regret not taking or listening to at the time?
I can think of some financial advice I was given that I wish I would have followed. Or as far as social anxiety goes I wish I would have followed the advice to get over your fears you have to face them. People would tell me you just have to do it and you will see it isnt that bad. Although they werent having panic attacks like I was and may not have understood fully they likely had the right idea. Instead I just read about SA or trying to develope social skills or confidence without actually having the guts to just go out and do it. Something I do regret now I think.
Not sure if I had forced myself to give speeches in front of class when I was in school instead of skipping class would have solved the issue completely but it likely would have helped. Or approaching the woman I wanted to talk to instead of just thinking about it would have made me much less anxious and I could have had a normal dating life in my college years or early 20's. Missed out on a lot by not taking that advice I think.
So do you have any advice they were given when they were younger that they regret not taking or listening to at the time in regards to SA or in general?
