I genuinely don’t know if my younger self would have the presence of mind to take me seriously, but I would try to reach them and encourage them to be more empathetic toward things/people that they didn’t understand. I was a bit of an asshole as a teenager, heck maybe even in my early 20s, and I wish I could go back with the care I have now.
That’s why I do this: start patting all your pockets like you’re checking for your keys, then just say “sorry, I’m all out of fucks today, been in short supply lately, should have some more in tomorrow.”
I do this but I drive to work and sit in my car until 8:05.
It takes so much energy to get moving j need serious consequences to motivate myself to work towards the door.
Edit: I don’t even hate my job I’m just so tired. There’s never enough time to do everything so when it’s morning I know I gotta deal with all the bullshit I didn’t finish the day before so I can start some fresh bullshit.

I totally get how you feel. I’m early in my career so I don’t get paid insanely well, but I work for a great company, love what I do, and I get along really well with everyone there.
Sometimes there’s just so much going on at once that it gets overwhelming.
Obviously not universal, but generally parental strictness/harshness/unfairness is them trying to spare their children undue suffering from mistakes similar to those the parents themselves made in their youth.
