    All the adults aren’t ignorant of all the angsty truths you’ve realized, they realized them too. They just kept moving on, and are now 2-20 steps past that. It’s not about problems, it’s about their solutions, and how easy vs difficult any potential solutions can be.

    That “weird food thing” you keep minimizing is called Anorexia Nervosa. Get treatment. You are missing out on what should be the best years of your life.

    What’s true for someone else isn’t automatically true for you. You don’t have to discount your own perspective and feelings so that they perfectly match up with those of someone you like and admire.

      I considered a simular answer, but realized I was given that same advice so often when I needed to hear it. I still ignored it.

      Much to our detriment. The "heart"often circumvents all logic and reason. Especially to our younger selves.

      Best we can do is try to instill a enough self worth that we become a little more stable. At least in my case I’d have been less willing to change who I am if I actually knew who I was.

    That there are almost no limits to what should you can learn. It all just takes a lot of time. Your skull level is a reflection of the time you spent homing that particular skill.
