An alternative you?

I was watching a documentary on Unabomber, and mused a thought scenario where I never became friends with the one guy I hung around with for the most part of my school years, and became more reclusive, untill lured into the radical animal rights group active in our town (I was friends with a member, but never got involved), where I'd help them firebomb some place and stuff, and finally, i'd go full on Tad Kazcynski and move in to the forest and start sending letter bombs. I figured the scenario would make a kick-ass piece for my creative writing course, it would end with me mailing my first bomb.
So, what might have went differently in your life, and what would it have changed?

I wonder what would've happened if I'd taken the red pill.

I wonder what would have happened if I were born without asthma, allergies, cyst, deafness, and other major physical imperfections. Maybe I wouldn't be as introverted as I am now.

I think it would be interesting to see what would have happened if I'd been born a woman, but had had similar experience and tastes along the way - Ie, an Ash From the webcomic Misfile, minus the keeping my memories.

If I was born a chick I would have no problem seducing all the lesbians who I have crushes on. That would rule. (And since my best sexual experiences have all been with bi women, I would still get to sleep with them.)
Also, I would get to accuse men of sexual harrassment and get my way most of the time. That would also rule. (Not to mention the fact that I would be a lesbian, so I could accuse people of queerphobia as well. That would, once again, rule.)
Also, I would have a clitoris, which, as the anatomists among you know, has double the nerve endings of a glans. That would freaking own!!!

OMG, all this talk of accusing people of harrassment makes me feel like Abigail Williams.

If I had been born a girl, I probably wouldn't have been as introverted as I am now. And I would have less trouble with the opposite sex, as I believe the main problem is that I have no idea how to behave like a guy.
And I could actually wear clothes in public that are otherwise limited to posting a few pics here once in a while

Since genderflip is the popular thing in this thread;
I'd probably look pretty close to what I look now, maybe longer hair, but if I were to do this as a story, I'd have Female!Me have short hair for the lulz, and a-cups, so the only real visible change (while clothed) would be the lack of adams apple.
I guess I would have been the one in the family to get my own room (in this universe, my big brother got it, I shared with my little brother, and later my little brother got the room when my big bro moved out, no justice in the world, I tell you). I'd like to entertain the thought that I'd end up with the same preferances and personality as now, and I'd be a FemAnon. Probably also a camwhore.

I'd ... probably look a lot more like my mom than I already do.

I wonder what would have happened if I'd have kept learning piano as a kid - I was one seriously rocking little pianist back then, but I gave it up.

If I had stayed away from that nasty 26 year old waitress chick when I was 18. . . I'm sure many things would be different in my life.
Combination of my own low self esteem, and her Histrionic Personality Disorder was an epic case of fail that lasts a lifetime.
But hey, I finally got laid. . . .

I probably would've been the same, only I'd be a trap, and actually be certified as a gunsmith and be fucking getting on with my life instead of waiting for a chance to make some real money overseas stuck in a unit I can't transfer out of and can't seem to get MOSQ'd for and my cat likely wouldn't have died.
Also, I guess I'd be living in Arizona by now.

Didn't you think about getting your face feminized as long as they were cutting it apart anyway?

Hmmm ... an alternate-me would be a cute hyperactive trap who has an excessive amount of bondage sex, online and off, and posts on the internet under the guise of a six-foot-two mildly-paunchy mildly-unshaven virgin. :3

Is this Genderswap Rule63-o-verse where everyone is genderswapped, or just where you are... because that would colour rather alot of my universe.
Conversely going with the "big change", it would be my 2nd year in college when I realized I had no intention of being a teacher... the alternate me would have quit college and tried writing "full time" to see if it was actually possible back when I had the chance, maybe gone somewhere with it, maybe not. But it would have begun with me moving out to Arizona with a friend as I was invited to do instead of struggling through another year of college before quitting and winding up back in my hometown.

You know, I was JUST thinking about this kind of stuff yesterday
What would of happened if I ended up having sex with my (male) friend when I was 14
Were would I be If my mother stayed with my stepfather and we never left California
Were would I be if I never came to the ghastly forums and never found my girlfriend?
#1: odds are I would of gone gay, hard gay
#2: Grew up in a "normal" family, when to school then collage, and hated every second of my perceptible life
#3: odds are I would of gone gay, hard gay
