What is your biggest regret in life?

[angelgirl7]

Whenever I hear this question, 2 things come to mind.
First, I was home schooled all through middle and high school. 5 years after graduating I regret it more than ever. While I feel like I got a better education, I missed out on so much and truly feel like my life would have been better had I gone to a regular school.

Second, a guy. I met a guy my first semester in college. He was such a kind person, and we had so much in common. He made me feel those cliche butterflies in my stomach, heart skips a beat, type feelings. At the end of the year he ended up transferring schools and we lost touch. I was so afraid of rejection that I didn't tell him how I felt, but looking back I think he felt the same way.

I don't really look at things that way. I look at some of the decisions I made. Some great some not so great. Either have taking me to whee I am, become who I am. And look forward with what I will do.

I hear some of my friends talk about regrets and makes me think of how unlucky I am to just look forward with what i have rather than what I didn't do/ couldn't have done.

I regret many things, like not standing up for myself, doubting myself and thinking bad stuff about myself for most of my life. These negative feelings led me to poor choices, poor relationship etc. But it's never too late to change everything

I think my life would be better now if I had been less greedy and materialistic when I was in my 20s and I think I was wrong for rejecting some friends I had cause they weren't perfect but treated me reasonably well.

I wish i would of brought my dogs body back from the Vets when she was put down
or least her remains but i couldn't really afford it cause lack of money and it really hurts me
all i can see that day is she wanted to go with me but she was too sick and was going to
be put down it was so sad. If i would of left her pass away on her own it would been humane
she was having shortness of breath a operation was not guarantee to help her i still feel so
bad how she wanted to come with me and i couldn't take her.

I wish I had:

1. Been in an ROTC program in college and then had a military career, and
2. married in my 20's and had children.

Can't choose. All of them involve my Altruism. I wish I was more selfish.

Example: I liked a girl, and so did my friend after I asked him about her. I gave my blessings and helped him out. They went out, I felt heartpain, and then they broke up. She hated me 2nd hand cause I was his friend. I never even got a chance to show her who I was.

Some girl liked me and I didn't have anyone at the time so I said why not. After some time she started do be very attached and she always asked where Im and what do I do, she was very jelaous and I didn't want ti break up because she loved me so much.
She gave me a lot of headaches and I felt like she is draging me down. After a talk with friend I realized that I dont owe her nothing and that I dont deserve to suffer.
My mistake for letting her in my life before getting to know her better

I regret that I didn’t forgive my father before he died. We’d had a rough relationship for a long time, and there was a lot of resentment from both sides. He died about 5 years ago now and I still think about that.

[JoseJr]

Trying to get wealthy over night. Took stupid measures to get money quick. Didn't want to wait and work for it like everyone. Ended up biting me on the ass and nearly getting locked up. Now i do everything on the straight and narrow. No bs no lies, just straight to it

[Kapakani]

Hmmm, if we share do we get any insight into yours haha😅?(Jk)

But hm, this is tough yet again lol.."the biggest" regret🤔... Either giving my dog away to move to a new apartment awhile back... or losing this girl I really really cared for by doing a bit too much to stay ahead of the competition at the time haha.

[Soporific-san]

Everything about me. Its nothing but a spiral stairs of regret flowing down to a deep abyss of despair. Maybe, just maybe one day. I can find peace with who I am.

[JackSmy]

Actually telling someone that I really cared about, how I really felt, and talking myself out of saying for some reasons that maybe weren't impossible to overcome.

[megaman242]

Agreeing to move to where I live now. I have a kid, the parents can move if they want, if the other parent say yes. Then parent and kid can move. I said yes and moved to the same town. If I said no we would still live back in Oslo and the mother could not move. I hate this place I live in now and it's the biggest regret I have to this date.

[Anonymous]

Always acting like i’m ok when my whole family is bullying me. I know i have to do something to defend myself but when they do it i feel like my mouth is locked. Its like i’m letting them bully me all the time.

And, i was good friends for more than 6 years with such back stabber. I wish i was smart enough to find out what she has been talking about me behind my back. I wish i listened to people who tell me that she is no good

[CaffeinatedCactus]

Its cliche, but i like where I am in life. If I changed anything I may not be who I am. But for arguments sake, if I could change anything I would be more adventurous, do more sports growing up, not take that paycut 2 years ago, not max out my credit cards and be in crippling debt right now. Basically I regret so many things but at the same time I have learned so much and still learning.

probably regarding certain schools I attended or losing touch with childhood friends, but regarding the childhood friend part, it was definetley quite mutual, but it sucks when someone you used to be good friends with, they reject your attempts to speak to them again years later.

[kernisha]

My biggest regret was that i broke up with my boyfriend who i loved very much to go with someone who i dont like... i have reasons though

[Therisinghero12]

I wish I would have shown more appreciation to my uncle while he was still here, he did a lot to make me the person I am today. I would also like to thank my middle school therapist for setting me up on a better path through life, changed my life.

[Liam_Hayden]

The closest is that in retrospect I probably should have tested out of high school at 16 and gone to community college for two years, then uni, then law school. I would have my J. D. already instead of not getting it till next summer.

[xxxibygnnn]

Wouldn't say regret where I resent myself but more of if I had to do it differently.
But I would have pushed my interest in my child hood friend long time ago

[menina]

Not going to other school when I moved. If I did, my life would be completely different now and I would be living a better country.

[Mickey9999]

Regrets no. Things I would do differently? Hell yeah!

[Swat_]

4 years of fucking up my personality and mental wellbeing, dark times which could've all been avoided.

[Thegayest31]

Nothing major to regret... yet anyway. I've pretty much done things how i felt they'd turn out the best and no problems with that system as of yet

[David291185norris]
