If you met yourself at age 9, would your younger self be ashamed of who you've become?

Question

And if so, what would your younger self say to you?

Answer 1

No. My younger self would say thank god you're not chubby, boy-ish, and ugly anymore...

Answer 2

At 9, I really wanted to be a classical ballet dancer, and my life revolved around ballet. By about 14 I'd more or less given up dancing (discovered boys!)These days I drive speedway cars for a hobby, with my daughter, run an electrician company and have absolutely nothing to do with dancing.

So, no I don't think I would be ashamed of who I've become, more surprised x

Answer 3

no I think my younger self would like me very much! I am a pretty good momma (which is more than I can say for my younger self's momma) and I don't drink or do drugs. I am married to my high school sweat heart! and I have 2 beautiful children of my own and 2 that I am adopting! I think that my younger self would like me!

Answer 4

At age 9 I had plans of being a very famous singer/actress, be unbelievably beautiful with a models body and visit nearly every country. That was over 11 years ago, and none of that has happened. So, yeah. My younger self would probably kill herself is she knew what she'd someday become.
Good question.

Answer 5

No! She'd be absolutely amazed at what we have achieved in the world,finding pockets of safety to live within and learning and having an interesting and eventful life.

She would appreciate how well we have survived and met opportunities and challenges.

She would be so pleased that we found out what love meant to us and are able to give and receive
unconditional positive regard.

The nine year old was suicidal depressed and living on another planet; totally in fantasy and stories and poetry. I think she would be dead pleased to see that we found the way out and have a bridge to planet earth.

She would clap her hands and say "jolly well done!!"

Answer 6

no, my younger self won't ever be ashamed of what i have become,i may not have achieved so much but have grown and matured in my own time just as i have been since. . stubborn for others but i lived and learned the hard way . . .

Answer 7

He'd be disappointed. At 9, there were a lot of dreams and imagination. Yes, he'd ask where the rocket pack was and wonder why I didn't have my own personal robot. Little would he know that his 9 year old struggles would dog me into my 40's.

He'd say, "Wow, you have a computer and it fits on a desk?"

Answer 8

I am successful in a lot of ways and I feel good with myself but my younger me would be disappointed because I am not what I expected to be.
I wanted to be married and have kids and have a good career
and I did not get any of those things I am still young (22 years old) and I still can achieve these goals but my younger me expected to get it by my actual age....

Answer 9

Awesome question. Nah my younger self would be happy that I'd be graduating from university and actively looking for a permanent position.

A star for you buddy.

Answer 10

at age 9 I wanted to do the big OE when I finished school...... well I did it however I didnt get very far!! if only I had overcome the home sickness bug that has plagued me all my life, my 9yr old would say ''damn girl'' ''you still havent conquered that yet''
Hopefully when Im 60 my 9yr old can say ''well girl it took you long enough!!''....... lol!!!!!!
Ive been out of the country 5 times and in that 5 times I have lasted at the longest 3wks.......arrrrgh!!
and no she wouldnt be ashamed...... she would still love me :-)

Answer 11

My 9-year-old self would be very disappointed that I don't have super powers or a flying car by now.
