I currently have back pains and bad posture so I'm going to be an miserable old man. What worries you about becoming your future self?
 
not achieving my dreams and looking back at a shell of a life at an old age and feeling nothing but regret

same!! this is one of my biggest concerns and always has been. buuut hopefully i’ll accomplish what i want to and die happy.
 
Not being able to fulfill my dreams of becoming a full-time artist at home. It's that way now, but a huge stretch for the future. Also making sure my children have a better childhood than I did. My health, as well.
 
Physical - I have a few physical health problems now so I can't wait to see what those become when I age :) :) :)
Mental - I'm worried my social anxiety/extreme inability to talk to people will hinder my ability to do the job I want :/
 
Nothing. Nothing, at all.
I don't know my future self, so I can't say-- I'll just continue along with what I'm doing and stay concerned with what happens in the present.
 
that i won't be the person i'm aiming to become today. i guess it's a bit like the whole "afraid of looking back on myself and regretting," but in a different way- i'm worried i'll become complicit in my own shortcomings and failures, and not even look back with regret, but with apathy.

does that make sense? i'm trying so hard to improve lately, and i want my efforts to pay off. i'm going to do my best to minimize any future regrets i may have, and be a better person in the future...
 
strangely i just want to make myself some kind of routine in life, very organised but with a few surprises every day.
if i don't make a routine i feel like my life will be a mess.
 
Mostly health related issues. Going to the dentist is expensive and I haven't been in years, so I worry I'll have to deal with getting a lot of work done one day.

I also worry about where I'll be living. I've never lived in the country of my citizenship because my parents are both from different countries and I've only lived between those two countries. I move wherever my work takes me, but I do want to settle down somewhere eventually. I don't know whether that will be in one of my parents countries or if I'll finally make the big move to my country of citizenship, which is soooo far away from my parents that it scares me :'( I have too much asian guilt and feel responsible for living close to my parents/taking care of them lol.
 
Oh jeez... my anxiety has a lot to say about that, but not being able to accomplish certain goals and wounding up to become a burden for people I deeply care about are the loudest ones atm
 
I have dreams for my job when I grow up and they're not unrealistic, I just need to go to uni and a Specialist School and stuff lol and I'm waiting until I move out to really move along with my plan now because my mother recently revealed to me she had no faith in me getting my dream job because she doesn't believe I'll do the work for it which was pretty crushing but I havn't forgotten her saying that and for the past weeks I've been really deeply scared of the idea that I will fail in life and I will never be in my dream job.
 
hm...id say nothing lol, i don't have a huge dream to accomplish lmfao, the only thing that worries me about my future is who am i gonna get married to lmfao (marriage is an important/priority in where i live) so ye, other than that I'm happy with myself & where i am at, tho id love to get better at socializing in the future lmfaooo
 
I'm not worried about my future self, I'm worried about how other future people are going to turn out. Whether they will be good or bad people WILL determine whether the US survives as a nation or not, and WILL determine if the Earth survives. SpaceX nor anything else like it is going to save us.
 
My anxiety is what worries me the most. It stops me from so much right now and even though I'm trying to overcome it, I'm afraid something will go wrong and I'll just fall back to where I started.
