Not OC but it’s always retrospective. I am 38 and look back at my 20s and reflect on mistakes. Caring too much about how I was perceived, not caring enough about how I perceived myself. Not being honest with myself. Fortunately years and increased responsibility put into perspective the important versus the unimportant. I focus in things that make me happy, make my family happy. I focus less on doing things just because other people are doing them. I did a lot of stuff I didn’t want to do in my 20s because of where I was at in life.
And hey, not everyone’s dumb in their 20s. And if you’re in your 20s, there’s no point in reflecting on it. You are where you are, you do what you do, your life will end up wherever it ends up.
