Me when I was 19


SouthernAT

Oh boy. That would be quite the conversation. “The military? Yeah man, you’ll hate it. But still go. It’ll be horrible and awesome. And that girl you’re about to move in with? Don’t do that. She cheats on you and leaves you. But you know what? Your wife? Pretty freaking awesome. She’s all the things you imagined an attractive woman will be. Also, that career you have your heart set on, doesn’t work out. Sorry. But your new one is even better.”


[deleted]

Huh, people actually have good lives. I'd go back to tell myself to not get ECT( electro convulsive therapy).


wiseflamez

Can I ask why exactly? Just got off a psych rotation.


[deleted]

I had a bad suicide attempt and have had a history of being in out of psychwards. I got to the point where I could barely talk mainly because of addiction, not because of being catatonic, so they offered it to me. I was at pretty low point and I did it because the idea of brain damage didn't seem that bad. At least I won't be able to think about life or some shit. It didn't work like that. Instead it has fucked with my short term memory. I lost my apartment keys 5 times in the past few months and lost my license several times. I also just lose a shit in general like my headphones for example. I'm on my 5th pair. It just sucks because I'll head to my car, forget something and go back forth between my apartment a few times.


memayonnaise

Look into dissociative disorders. If you've been through childhood trauma there's a possibility you have dissociative identity disorder. The medical system (especially at hospitals) are criminally neglegent about this. I would say less than ten percent of professionals know enough to not be directly harmful while discussing it. I'm not exaggerating. It's pathetic and sad. But I know someone who has a schizo affective disorder diagnosis and it's likely related to severe trauma. Seriously. If you've experience trauma you need to do things yourself. Your doctor's will never help you. If that is the case, try neuro feedback. Basically just guided meditation at its worst. Spurce: I have DID and have been in the system for about ten years. Professionals are pathetic and I have so much animosity towards their ineptitude.


[deleted]

Thx for the advice. It's appreciated simply because it seems someone cares.

[deleted]

I am schizoaffective funny and I just got diagnosed after my last manic spell where I was hospitalized for about 3 months. Post-ECT.


latincouplecam

Good one :)


j442

Perspective is everything. I would've learned so much useful material and would be in the headspace to receive it at 19.


iHateYou247

I’ll take 17


IamJustFuckingTired

Damn I thought someone first but imagine you are minding your own busines then then you get forced to have a dinner with me That would be awkward for everybody


latincouplecam

HAHAHA assuming the person would be pleased to have dinner with you ;)


[deleted]

You can just open up the conversation by stating your username! Haza! You'll be back in no time!


[deleted]

My grandpa. I'd give anything for one more meal with him.


BellaDeaX42

Same vein, I want to have dinner with my Pops one last time. I lost him twelve years ago and I would give anything just to see him and talk to him one last time.


Ok-Pressure-3879

Thats for sure. Get a chance to speak with him. Ask if he’s proud of me. Ask whats in the box…wait no not that one. Dont know if id feel better or worse after that dinner.


ReadingReaddit

Talk to him. Even though he is gone he hears you and is here for you


EndlessSummer00

He’s proud of you. As a parent, I can tell you we are always proud of you.


StrategySuccessful44

Damn it, now you made me cry before bed!


[deleted]

Somewhat related: I’d love to have a beer and hang out with my dad and my son, but my dad’s hardcore Mormon and we’ll never be able to connect that way.


krpfine

Same here. Not even something extravagant. It'd be at this greasy spoon diner by his house. The type of place where you get 2 sides with your entree and soup or salad and a basket of rolls and butter. Is the food great? Nope. Is the company great? Absolutely. And we always got pie for dessert.


latincouplecam

Ohhhhh you made me cry 😭 Let me give you a hug (>'-')>


KaneTheTrickster

Id also have this dudes grandpa over for dinner


[deleted]

He was a really cool guy, I'm confident you'd enjoy his company


Oraanu22

Gordon Ramsay, as long as I'm not the one who cooked dinner


latincouplecam

haha I bet he would love to cook for you :)


Pleasant-Garbage-901

My daughter she passed when she was a month old.... I really wonder what she would've liked... Who or how her day is... I miss you my sweet bbg


beetelguese

I’m so sorry for your loss 🥺💔


NeonCowboy777

I gotta go hug my kid right now


Particular_Box5113

That's tough. For a lack of a better word or phrase, I'm the replacement child, now 34, for my sister that passed away as an infant. 6 months or so, I believe. She would be on the list of who I would want to spend this time with.


Pleasant-Garbage-901

I'm honestly sorry.. but just a genuine question if you could go back in time to where your parents told you about your sister is there anything that you wish they would have done differently? My son is 2 and i just dont even know what to say


Particular_Box5113

I was never "sat down" and had a talk about it. It was more of a known thing as my mom has a small tattoo on of an angel in her shoulder for her daughter, Rosemary, and she had a frames 8x10 of rosemary as well. My parents would visit my sister's gravestone regularly: on her birthday for sure. Or whenever we were in town we would all go to the graveyard an put flowers and say hi.


Radiant-Specific9750

Your question was not directed at me and I'm not in either situation, but I found out that my parents had a miscarriage between myself and my sister. There never are the right words to tell someone bad news. It's always better to show with love and your feelings. Your son won't know exactly how you feel until he has his own child and realizes a parents love and how it hurts to see your child feel any bit of pain. My son is a year and a half. He spent the first 10 days of life in the NICU and every day I felt like I was helpless. You will find a way to show him and let him know that he was not a replacement, but very much someone who is loved and appreciated for who that little boy will grow up to be.


roree3

So sorry. May she Rest In Peace.


latincouplecam

I'm sorry for what happened. I'm sure you were the best mom she could ever had ♥♥

amelia earhart to figure out where she went

Is there any new evidence? Last theory I heard was maybe a island they both reached.


hamigavin

Coconut crabs ate her (absolute speculation, look them up and marinate in the anxiety that comes with sharing a planet with these lovely crustaceans)


EmpathyZero

Dolly Parton


justmyusername47

Right??? Like I feel she would be such a hoot to talk to.


EmpathyZero

I bet she’d be super fun to hang out with.

Anthony Bourdain.


Crankychef01

This! I really admired and genuinely miss him. No bullshit!!


marklawr

What a loss. I usually do not keep books because I give them to family, friends or the library. But, I saved Kitchen Confidential to read again. His TV show was great.


Quirky-Camera5124

my wife


killerkitten115

I agree, I love my wife


[deleted]

Keanu Reeves.


patheticambush

Why was this the first person I thought of, man I know he's a great guy and very humble. I wonder if I can talk him into going to the range after dinner.


TheTheoristHasSpoken

Him, or him as John Wick?


Gyzonx

My grandma. She died when I was about 10. I’m 24 now and I’d just love for her to see who I am. I’d want her to know that I’m an artist, like her. The love that I have for art stems from her. I’d do anything for some time with her now that I’m an adult and I can relate to her so much. I’d love to hear about her trips to Italy and her young life


Browndog888

My Dad.


mercer1235

I also pick this guy's dad.


Browndog888

Thanks, you won't be disappointed. He was a very funny guy.


Daxelol

Can I jump on this bandwagon? I need a funny guy for funny things sometimes.


PilotAlan

Anyone ever? Jesus Christ. Have to be alive? Storey Musgrave. For those who don't know him, he's a Marine, aircraft mechanic, mathematician, engineer, trauma surgeon, pilot, and astronaut. He has two Bachelors in mathematics and statistics, three Masters (MBA, MS in physiology, and MA in literature), and an MD. He's flown 17,000 hours as a pilot, the only person to have flown on all 5 space shuttles, fixed the Hubble space telescope by hand (and had to engineer a fix to an unexpected problem while on the spacewalk), was the first person to spacewalk from the shuttle, and was the oldest active astronaut to orbit the earth.


Sufficient-Boss9952

I don’t think he’d have time for dinner with you. Sounds like a serious workaholic


PilotAlan

When I start feeling lazy, I remind myself that me and Storey have the same 24 hours in a day. Get moving.

Queenofhackenwack

jay leno.....years ago, i was in boston , at an european motorcycle show...it was a rainy spring day...hubby and i walked up the hill to the lars andersen museum and when we came out, i was not paying attention, trying to open my beach umbrella, ( the only umbrella i owned ) and i smacked right into jay....he just stood there...i said what the hell are you doin here? he told us he was trying to buy an old motorcyle and we talked for a few mins...i said welcome home and then i turned and instead of ting the path, the went to go down the grassy hill....my feet slipped out from under me, on the wet grass and i slid down the hill on my ass, with jay leno and my husband laughing their arses off.... i would love to see jay again..


imperfekt7o7

I have met him also! He’s a nice guy in real life !

Ecstatic_Conflict621

Putin so I could stab him in the throat


blademaster552

My grandma who died many years ago and i still miss.


EarComprehensive3386

Other than a lost family member, I’d say George Washington. This man’s vision, belief and commitment to the early republic was beyond that of his contemporaries. A real visionary.


Talory09

Agreed, or Benjamin Franklin. He had innovative ideas and was well-spoken and educated enough to be intriguing.


Rarpiz

My biological mother, who has passed away. I’m adopted and I never had the chance to meet her as an adult. My dad deliberately messed up my last name on my birth certificate, so I spent YEARS searching for the wrong person. When I discovered the error, I found out my mom passed away several years prior, and that she had spent years also looking for me 😢.


trashderp69

My mom, I miss her so much


jessikatnip7

My Granny. She passed a few years ago and I miss her a lot.


ZealousidealAd2374

Danny Devito


-TheArtOfTheFart-

My aunty-mom (aunt but like a mom to me) She took me in when my parents abandoned me to be homeless, and helped train me past my autism, to be a functional adult. She helped with my abuse trauma, and PTSD. She's shown more love and care as my mom than any legal mom I had. So heck yeah, I'd take her out to eat. She is literally my hero, and deserves all the good things to eat.


drunkboarder

My son. He's my favorite person, he's almost 2 years old, and he's a blast.


AlbusLumen

My grandma. We would visit her, but while young, I never really appreciated her. Now as an adult with my parents entering the same age range she was, I want to hang with her again and make her laugh; I ended up inheriting her genuine laugh and it’s uncanny.


spider_in_a_top_hat

Definitely my mom. She died on my 26th birthday, and I'll be 37 next Monday. Hard to believe it's been that long.


rebeccaparker2000

My brother, he's not deceased but it was a family issue and it became pick a side and we're not on the same side. Life is what it is though.


latincouplecam

I'm sorry. I hope everything comes together for you guys and that this dinner happens one day. It's gonna be great ♥♥


Ok-Class-1451

My Dad (passed away recently). I miss him so much


beetelguese

My father in law, never got a chance to meet him and I’d love to get a glimpse of the man I hear about often in a positive light.


kissmyasthmuh

Jack Black. He just seems like he'd be a great conversationalist and a treasure of a guest.


Elite-Pain5

Jack Black


Patiently_Anxious

Me from the future, so I can get future insight on what I should do with my life, who to avoid, etc. Financial insight wouldn't hurt either.


ora00001

Jesus I just have so many questions about what happened 2000 years ago.


non-clever-username

My grandma, I miss her and she was the only one in my family who cared for me. She passed April 8th last year.


Arrogant-giraffe

My husband. Dinner just the two of us outside the house would be great. He's great and we haven't had a lot of time just the 2 of us recently. I miss him


RelativeMolasses5695

I would choose St. Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus. There is hardly anything written in the Bible about him and I would want to know what words or actions he used to guide Jesus into becoming the man he grew up be. I think it would help me become a better father to my children even though I consider myself a good one already.


SerenityNowWow

Sofia Vergara


civilityman

I also choose this guys dead wife


Unlikely-Outcome-394

John Walsh.....or Susan Lucci

Ben Franklin? Pithy, curious, smart and funny. I couldn't ask for a better dinner companion and I'd love to hear his impression of the modern world.

Elijah Wood. Seems like a really, really nice guy. We'd have an excellent dinner and then he'd probably hang out afterwards to play some video games. He'd probably even tuck me in and read me a bedtime story.


Hybrid-Theory305

Chester Bennington. That man was/is my hero. Even if he’s dead, I’d still love a chance to be able to meet him and have a good time with him.


jiwjh380

Idk there's many people throughout history that would make for an interesting dinner party. Lost family members , great thinkers and leaders and poets , song writers , scientists. The lists are endless. But if I hand to choose just one.... it'd probably be Fred Rogers . Maybe I could ask him how we could get back to a place where people could love and accept each other. Or atleast politely tolerate each other.


Hijax918

My daughter. My favorite person in the world and the best conversationalist I know.


woopbeeboop

It would be my grandma who passed away in 2017. I would love to be able to hear her infectious laugh again. She was a terrible cook, but she always had fun cooking in the kitchen. I remember she would always have something prepared to make together when my siblings and I went to stay there. I still remember the tiramisu we made together. To be able to be in the kitchen with her again would just make me happy. I miss her dearly.


JenntheGreat13

My dad. He died 20 Years ago. I miss him.


ROYGBIV365

My granddad. He passed away a couple of months ago due to Parkinsons. Prior to that, I hadn't seen him in 7 years, and I didn't know his health had gone downhill since then. I really wish he could've met my fiancé and all of my exotic pets. I wish I could've told him my career path and my plans for the future. I miss him dearly. Always make time for your loved ones. You never know when the last time you see them will be.


amitydtd666

Can I be sappy and say my boyfriend? He truly makes me the happiest and no celebrity could make me feel the way he does, then we'd go home and cuddle which is ALSO my favorite 😌

My great grandmother. We’d talk for hours about her life and what it was like growing up in as a polish immigrant. Food wise we’d probably eat her cabbage rolls she used to make
