I'm in my 20's and I consider myself a complete ignorant, in the sense that whenever I make a decision I always think "What would the future me do if I had more experience/knowledge?"

So taking advantage of this space in Lemmy, what lesson that you had to learn by force or that you learned by experience that when you were younger you didn't see you would teach your younger self?

And I mean lessons like: I must learn to love others, or I am worth more than I think I am.

I thought I was introverted.

Then I spent 4 months in Antarctica for work, and holy shit. No. Iโ€™m not introverted. I need my friends and family around me at all times.

    You can still be introverted and need those close to you.

    You would most likely prefer smaller groups to crowds, maybe self reflect and retreat into your own mind more than others, probably think before you act. You would also most likely feel tired after being in a crowd, feel comfortable being alone(doesn't mean 4months alone would be ok), and have few friendships but you are very close with those friends.

    I am an introvert but I still need my partner, my family and my friends. I just don't need them that often and I am fine being on my own but I would definitely prefer to be with them than without them. That is why we chose them, right? Because we enjoy their company.
