you visit your future self, see what you do like or dont like, but it modifies what would have happened had you continue to live your life the way you were. in 10 years, you would see a younger version of yourself visiting you once again, but now seeing a different future, an alternate path that you created because you didnt like what you previously saw. the new person from the past seeing current future you will repeat what you did by deciding that future isnt for them, thus erasing your current path and halting your ability to go beyond 10 years. choosing to visit your future self is basically choosing to see your death.
However, even if you could change the outcome of yourself 10 years in the future exactly why would you continually be changing it due to dissatisfaction? You changed it the first time because of that, so wouldn't you have changed it so something you like? or are you assuming the you are so fickle that seeing the new you 10 years in the future will never be content with the change you made? Either way sounds more like creating alternate versions of yourself due to any modification since if you travel 10 years in the future you ALWAYS traveled 10 years in the future and at some point in your time line you'd have to do it. Why are you assuming you can't go back after visiting/viewing yourself 10 years in the future? Not a trap at all.
