Would your childhood self be proud of you?

[Vice President Christian Man]

Mine would probably be disappointed that I'm not married and making more money than I  thought I'd be making, but it could be worse.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

I wouldn't say "proud" as much as "wait, I become a girl in the future?"

[dead0man]

yeah, little dead0boy would be alright with it I think.

[morgieb]

Probably not.

[Penn_Quaker_Girl]

I wouldn't say "proud" as much as "wait, I become a girl in the future?"

Opposite for me, my child self would say "sooo baggy flannels and jeans, huh? What happened to fancy dresses and heels?"

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

I don't think I have the knowledge of my childhood self to say yet.

Confusing her younger self with gender non-conformity

[Rand]

Four college degrees. Retired at 33. Over 100 sexual partners with no STIs.

Yeah, little me would be proud.

[Meclazine for Israel]

Always dreamed as a child I would have a room in the house just for a model train set.

Went with my partner to the German Club for Oktoberfest last year, and out the back (amazingly) away from the drunkenness and debauchery of semi-naked girls in leiderhosen, I discovered my childhood dream.

They turned the lights off and the whole thing had a night version with street lights and train lights etc. It was majestic.

It reminded me of the dream I never followed. Clearly, this guy followed his dream. It was unbelievable quality. My partner just wanted me back in the beer hall to get drunk with her.

[Progressive Pessimist]

No, but I think they would understand why I'm at where I am.

[OSR stands with Israel]

In some ways yes, in some ways no

[Benjamin Frank 2.0]

When I look at myself
I don't see
the man I wanted to be
somewhere along the line I slipped off track
one step up and two steps back
-Bruce Springsteen

[Dr. Cynic]

Hell no. My childhood self would probably hate me as much as I hated myself when I was a child.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Yes, I was very much like Fat Albert and Cosby kids when I was younger and played the Sax. Life doesn't benefit minorities,while there were disappointments I played the Sax, made it thru college

[Conservatopia]

Genuinely yes. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self how much better things have become.

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

I am not sure my childhood self would accept the concept of pride (he certainly did not accept the concept of shame).

[Crumpets]

Depends on the age and how much detail I gave. I think teen me would be very happy with how things have gone while small child me would never forgive myself for having a job other than paleontologist or astronaut.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I still admire Bill Cosby for Fat Albert and Cosby show that's why he is out of prison due to his success not failures and he did nothing more than what Clarence Thomas, Bill Clinton, Biden, Trump, Michael Jackson, Arnold Schwarzenegger and OJ Simpson did abuse women

They came out 20 yrs after the fact too why wait 20 yrs if you were sexually harassed he sexually harassed violently one women

When I watch Bill Cosby he is my childhood

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

I wouldn't say "proud" as much as "wait, I become a girl in the future?"

literally

Yeah, I was very much thinking of that bottom right panel.

[Senator Incitatus]

Yes; he was a mature young man who understood that building a family and providing for them is the greatest achievement in life. I also have my fair share of academic and professional credentials which would probably satisfy his youthful pride, even if I am not exactly doing the sort of job I imagined as a child (oceanographer, Academy Award-winning director, astronaut).

[Gracile]

I don't know. I had no expectations for what I would be doing at this point in my life and didn't think I would live this long.

[Clarko95 📚💰📈]

I have achieved much more than my childhood self could have imagined. Basically, all of my dreams came true and then some.  He'd also be very relieved that it gets so much better and that all the work and patience paid off in the end.

[Red Velvet]

Not really. I know 100% that he would be scared and traumatized about being gay and bald tbh

[kyc0705]

For various reasons, myself from two months ago would be very surprised and proud of where I am now.
