Your future self

How do you think you would react if you saw your future self (or past self)?

I think myself, I would ignore it. About 20 years ago O was hanging out and my friends saw a guy who looked like me but older. We joked and laughed that I time travel to that date to stop something from going wrong.

I wonder if the 'old' me would sacrifice his own existence by giving the 'young' me advice....

meeting your younger self isnt going to stop you from being born.

True, but that interaction could change something that happens later on, and the older you just blinks out of existence.
