Let’s be real—your 20s are a chaotic mix of lessons, mistakes, and growth. But if there’s one thing you should have locked down before 30, it’s this…
#1
That it is our differences that makes the world interesting. Accept and respect yourself for who you are and do not worry too much about what other people might think of you, your looks, your preferences (as long as you are not hurting yourself or anyone else). Let them think what they want. Fingers are pointed by those that are afraid to be themselves.

Accept people for who they are, not who you think they are. Also people know what there pronouns are, there is no need to "correct" them, you are just making a fool of yourself.

Toxic people won't change just because you are doing your best to make your relationship work.
Stop trying to explain to grown ups that you deserve to be treated with respect and decency. Distance yourself from them instead (family members included) - it will save you a lot of time and effort.

The key to happiness is being thankful for what you have. It’s ok to strive to do even better. But remember so many have it way worse. Travel to other parts of the world as much as you can, so you can fully realize our way of life is not the only or necessarily the best way. People who have a lot less can be happier than you are. Once you realize you have enough, you have everything you need to be happy.

Learn not to worry about what other people think of you.
People are too busy thinking about themselves to think about you. They are not thinking about the embarrassing thing you did because they are too busy thinking about the embarrassing thing they did.

How to live alone for at least a year. Everything involving around how to organize your own life. By all means, ask others if you don't know how to do something, but then go ahead and do it yourself. Not only will it give you a lot of autonomy, it will make you feel much more secure about yourself.
You can do it. On your own.

Not everyone thinks like you, likes the same things you do, looks like you, worships like you do, and that is perfectly fine.

Save some, but at the same time, enjoy life. I'm a spender, but I still sock away money each pay because you never know what will happen.
On the other hand, my dad was a saver. He finally decided to splurge and ordered his dream car, and he and my mum began plans on their dream house. My father died before he ever got to take possession of the car or before the house began being built. That's why I say please also enjoy life. Don't squirrel everything away because you might be unfortunate enough to not reap the rewards like my dad.

How to talk to, and make friends with, complete strangers in person rather than over a digital interface.
Most younger people I meet are so afraid when a stranger approaches them and starts a conversation. Most of the time they won't even look the person in the eye, or just give short, one-word answers.
Sure, sometimes you get a creep, but most of the time it's just someone that wants to talk. Hell, you might find a really good friend out of the experience.

Start to think about your retirement, and start planning for your retirement. Does your job offer a pension plan? If not, get one asap. It is never too late to start. You don't want to be 65 and still working because you didn't plan better.

The consequences of prejudice and closed-mindedness, as well as reading the room and knowing to pick your battles. I've changed my perspective when someone else placed a different way something I knew all along, and I can't tell you how freeing it feels. Pointing fingers at anyone who doesn't support your worldview does not make a good impression on anyone.
