A Twitter user asked 26 y/o’s about the advice they would give to those in early twenties, and people had the best responses

What advice would you give to someone in their early twenties? This was the question posed by twitter user @1ov1bri when she asked her followers about all the things they had learned too late- whether it was about life, career or love. And Twitter users had some amazing replies.

A user said that the best lesson to learn is on how to be alone so that later in life you don’t invite people in who don’t deserve it.

Be comfortable being alone. Not just, staying inside alone, but being alone alone, not even hitting ppl out of boredom alone, travel alone, hobbies alone. Because until you’re comfortable being alone you’re going to invite ppl in your life that was never suppose to be there https://t.co/RTPEspv2wu

Another user said it’s never shameful to feel like you’re behind in life, because everyone works on their own progress.

Stop being frustrated at the slow pace of progress you seem to be making in life.

Behind all the shiny LinkedIn and Instagram updates from your contemporaries, they're exactly as broke and unhappy as you are.

Growth will take time. Give yourself time. https://t.co/DLqfuYUExN

On careers, some users said it is better to question misbehavior at the workplace rather than stay silent and endure it.

Talk about your salary.

Question mistreatment in the workplace.

Know you deserve dignity and respect on the job and have the power to organize your coworkers.
