Yeah, I regret showing my boobs to this guy on FaceTime. He's a guy in Japan and I met him on a pen pal site but never met him, but have video called face to face once before. He's 21 and I'm 18. After months of persuading me to show him my body, I finally gave in. Because I really liked him, and he threatened if not he would not speak to me anymore. So I just did it for five seconds. In the moment it was alright, but afterwards I felt a big sense of dread wash over me. What if my family finds out about this? Luckily I didn't show my face in the video, but we're friends on facebook. I was reluctant to show him because I'm afraid on the internet stuff like that can be sent around. Oh well, I blocked him from seeing my friends list, and am just avoiding talking to him again. I do feel bad about leading him on when I really did like him, but I didn't like being pressured by him - I really wasn't thinking straight when I did it and my fear of losing him had become stronger than the fear I felt inside at having this exposed. But hopefully, unless he screenshotted it or recorded it, there is no way he can send it to anyone, right? Surely, I have learnt not to be too trusting now, and not give in to people asking me to do something so degrading, as well as not to get too attached too easily. I won't be doing that again, even if he asks. I almost laugh at my own stupidity. My parents would be so disappointed in me if they found out, and now I'm afraid he'll ask for more and more and try and blackmail me by threatening to send it out.. I may be paranoid, also have anxiety and depressive issues, so this is like feed for my anxiety..

Usually for me, it's no regret, just awareness. Yet, honestly, there are some situations where I can't help but let regret seep through, like putting a sponge in water and expecting it not to absorb.
I love who I have become and I greatly appreciate everything that lead me to this version of myself. However, I don't think you always have to learn things the hard way. Contrary to popular belief, in my opinion, experience isn't always the best teacher. Sometimes it's best for you to learn without jeopardizing your future and happiness. You do not always have to make mistakes to gain knowledge. Because sometimes the feelings those bad decisions leave behind is like, smoke after a fire. Depending on how intense that fire was, it may take a long time for that smoke to finally fade away.
yes, I regret being friends with people who werent really my friends. lies, selfishness, using me, fake faces, double standards, wrong morals. I just hate them I wish I can go back and end the friendship then and there, I can't believe I let it carry on for so long.
i also stole from a store one day and got caught it was my lowest point in life and I hate myself for it. it was something cheap and stupid too for like 2 dollars. and instead I got a lifetime of bad memory and guilt and just embarrassment. I can't even think or talk about it because I don't know what I was thinking at the time. its just not me. I'm usually a good moral person who never stole anything from anyone. I was just depressed and fed up after I lost my job.
I have a couple. Mostly to do with how I treated my Mom as I grew up, once I told her I hated her, always regreted saying that. It is just hard to deal when you get thrown in jail because your Mom is stubborn and always has to start drama, and you have to get in the middle of the cross fire.
Yes I have and I'm sure everyone has, But I don't beat myself for it. I'll make a better decision next time.

i completely understand what you mean. I've made a couple of mistakes myself but that made who I am today.
the only thing I regret doing and I want to go back time and ''clean'' that from my past is have lost my virginity with someone who didn't deserved me... but I know, if that have never happened I wouldn't be the person I am now.As Albert Einstein said: Don't be scare to make mistakes, make one true and 3 mistakes, because if you don't do mistakes that mean you don't need anything new, and you cannot be the best.
A few things yes. But you live and yo learn. that's the important thing. :-)
Yes, we all have regrets. I when I regret, I wished I never made that mistake. You have a good way of looking at your mistakes, which I wish I could think like that, but know I won't.
