Only real regret is not taking my academics, especially in high school, more seriously

Would have bought some pokemon packs when I was buying sports cards.

Not being a loner.

Nothing. It was pretty good. I just wish it was longer or that I could simply repeat it.

Let me repeat it like Groundhog Day but in just one big long endless childhood loop and that would be heaven. From 1980 to 1994. Let me repeat from 4 to 18 years old. Then right when I graduate high school it goes back to 1980 at 4. Best era ever.

I'd try to be more outgoing after switching schools. In elementary I had a bunch of friends and activities. Changed schools in middle and pretty much ignored anyone who talked to me so became an outcast, withdrawing into a world of TV and video games. Feel like I missed a lot of potential memories and positive development.

Nothing to be honest. I was sick a lot as a kid, but I had a good deal of friends, was constantly out and about with them, girls actually liked me and the video games I was constantly playing thanks to my dad always renting them every friday was good. Middle school was a little bumpy what with all the puberty and needing to prove yourself going around and me being pretty much a string-bean dude to a string-bean 6'1 dude in highschool, but it was all fine. Maybe I could have talked more with certain people in highschool, but thats about it.

Now my early 20s is something I wish I can do over.

Childhood was fine it's just I certainly would have quit my shitty mall job in 2014 and found anything else (even in the same mall). It would be less stressful and I wouldn't be in a constant state of no win situations, This then would not let my self confidence go so low and anxiety/stress ruin my life either over all of that and other thoughts.

Wouldn't have bothered making my way home when my parents "forgot" me in Ohio.

Lots of things maybe but life is a one and done pass so perhaps nothing at all

This. I could think of plenty of things I'd like to go back and re-do, but the more you think about it the more pointless it becomes to even waste any further time thinking about it.

Having my sever adhd diagnosis and treatment from as soon as possible.

Start drawing seriously earlier
Go to the school I wanted immediately
Accept stuff with gender roles earlier

Not have cancer

Probably having a dad.

I'd buy a whole bunch of Amazon stocks because man I'd be rich now.

lol

I'd be more bold speaking my mind and I'd care less what people think about me or my hobbies.

And I would avoid hanging with non productive people

I'd have slapped myself and my mother for allowing me to be homeschooled.

I would have ignored my mom's worries and skipped several grades.

I'd want a consistent activity. Would've first said basketball, but seeing the broader picture of AAU, that might not be all that great.

I would have liked to be thrown into a motorsport development program, but that was always unrealistic for my family.

Theres not much Id like to keep about my childhood. The household I grew up on was far from ideal.

My parents gave me a lovely childhood.

Would be ungrateful to wish anything were different.

id try harder at school and be more sociable

Magic wand? Id die instead of my sister.

Would have started fighting in kindergarten instead of 6th grade things got easy once I finally learned to fight back.

But I mean if I had a Time Machine Id just convince my younger self to run away from home to San Francisco or NYC and work to get adopted by a rich family.
