If you met your present self 5 years ago, would you want to be in their position?

Asked by trickface (2346points) April 14th, 2011

The scenario is simply this: you meet yourself (at a party, a bar, at work, wherever) however this is all set 5 years ago and the person you are meeting is yourself in the present day.

How would you feel about the person you are talking to?
Would you be happy at what you had become?
Would you want to be in their shoes?
Would you admire them or maybe despise them?
What questions would you ask (if any)?

Feel free to adjust the timeframe of 5 years to what ever you want.

I understand this is rather a surreal idea and may not be for everyone, but I think it’s a curious thought. This is not a study question, I was daydreaming whilst trying to fall asleep and this idea popped into my head.
