Adults over 40: Do you like it when young people ask you for advice?

I find listening to older people giving me advice VERY helpful.

How do you feel when you look back at how you were in your twenties? Im 24 - all this worrying and anxiety Im going through sometimes - is it worth it?

(Other ages - pls feel free to answer).

I did say 'Over' 40 anon. Just in my experience - I have received wonderful advice from people over this age group (and parents).

Yes I do like it when younger people ask for advice. It feels good to pass on the little (!) that I know.

I kind of feel ok about how I was in my twenties. I went to Uni, kept my nose clean, got a good job etc. I can give you two bits of advice about being in your twenties, the first being stop all your worrying; nine times out of ten, all the things that you think will happen never do. Worrying is then, a complete waste of your time and takes its toll on your health.

The second bit of advice I would give you is do what you want to do with your life, don't be held back my other people's opinion of you. If you want to learn to ride a motorbike, play the piano/violin/learn to speak a foreign language, then do it!One of the most important things you realise as you get older is that you care less and less for the approval or disapproval of others.
