Anyone else wish they could start their life over again? Even if it meant not knowing some of the people you know now?

If you could, what things would you want to be different? Would you want to retain your memory of the life you have lived? If you could take learned skills/traits back with you, what would they be? Something like "be a more confident child". If you could have a skill you were just simply good at, what would it be? (playing a musical instrument?)

If you could go back, what would you want your life to look like?

I'd like to start my life over again in a male body so my body could match who I really am on the inside. That would make for an easier life for me, from the very beginning.

I would live my life again as a neurotypical.

I would choose to be rejuvenated to the physical health and appearance of a man in his mid-20s, with a new identity, and all of the wealth I have accumulated so far.  Then I would move back to my hometown and reveal my real identity to each of the people who bullied me as a child, but only individually and only while each one was on his or her deathbed.

They would die knowing that I -- their former victim, now a survivor -- had cheated death while they did not.

What is this, New Life+? Cool!

Then I’d just want the diagnosis of ADHD earlier, and to see if medication would have helped me make friends. :(

If I could start my life over again with my memories intact, I'd certainly do lots of things differently, especially if I could do so without all the physical problems I've had since birth. And even if I did have them, I feel like I'd still do way better in life if I had memories from this first life.

I did think about this when I was younger, but not recently. It's taken me 50 years to work out how to live my life with this particular brain and body. Why on earth would I want to start from scratch again?

During episodes of intense self-loathing due to the state of the world and where I sit on the privilege ladder, I sometimes wish I didn't have that privilege so I could feel true pain like others not as fortunate as me do. I feel awful for being so lucky during those times.

I'd love to revisit my life from about 0-7, to see the people and remember the details that I forget.

I'd do anything for that, really.

I wouldn't want to live my whole life again, or go to Primary school again, or change anything though.

I just want to revisit, like a movie.

You are young.
There is plenty of time for you to feel pain.
No need to go looking for it. :mrgreen:

Please don't buy into the guilt that is being disseminated by the skool academics, if that is happening to you.
They are using young people for their own benefit.
Disgraceful.

Didn't you experience some dark times within that age group?
Mine started at 4 years of age. 8O

It staggers me to think anyone who understands how corrupt the system is would want to relive it. 8O
I will be staggering to the finish line, in less than 20 years, and have absolutely no desire to repeat the nonsense. 8)

Nope. Age 7 seems to be my dark year.

I would like to start my life again
and move from the island that i have spent most of my life on
perhaps in my late teens and go live in Japan or somewhere else

I believe a fair amount of the problems i have faced in life
is due to how the people in the island that i live on developed
and their social networks

a lot of the people who i grew up with moved off the island
as they had enough of how the people acted

also, quiet a few of my generation of people died
either through drug overdoses or suicide

unfortunately this combination of things
meant that what was left on the island
were the people who i hated

the petty criminals
and the over privileged rich kids
who the petty criminals got in with
(so they could then abuse the rich kids wealth and parents connections)

Over time, this network of druggy crims and spoilt rich kids
built up a corrupt little network of beasts

who now gang bully people to death
and no one can do anything about it
as part of the network include people in the police,
lawyers, doctors, psychologists, psychiatry.
DJ's, and even children of celebrities

so once this network of occultist
scums victimises you
it diminishes your options in life

so.. live my life again and move away
bloody right i would!! !

To what end?
If you are religious, wouldn't you want to 'live' in heaven rather than relive purgatory? :scratch:
