I probably would have listened to myself, as I was a particularly lonely individual who would have sailed on the words of anyone with a caring heart, but I'd have told myself -
You don't have to put down the things you love to win the approval of people around you. Keep writing, keep learning, you are surrounded by small minds.
Don't try to wedge yourself into social groups you know you don't belong in.
Nobody cares about your achievements but you.
