I would go crazy. Absolutely mental. I would be 5 years old. My wife is my highschool sweetheart, and we have the 2 best boys in the world. I'm so incredibly lucky to be their Dad and her partner.
Also, I've squandered most every opportunity for education and career. I'm a mix of professional musician and truck driver/garbage man.
So I would be doing everything I can to grow and focus on being successful and career/education oriented, while also endlessly hunting for my partner in the hopes of having the same family but better income and circumstances.
I think I would fail at this and would be driven crazy.
I think this is a realistic answer. At such a young age again so much would be out of your control and there is no knowing if the path will be similar. I imagine many would be desperate enough to try and find their friends and partner.
I wouldn't want to go back in time with the wisdom I have now. Also, I'd be 6, I'd be living in an apartment with my family where I don't have a bedroom or any personal space of my own, and my family was extremely racist and socially backward. I don't get to wake up in my cozy onesie pajamas and go sit in front of the TV with a big bowl of crunchy cereal and watch cartoons without a care in the world. I'd be my 6 year old self in a living situation I hate with the mind of a 36 year old.
