Only graduating the eighth grade which would of probably been a huge game changer also would of meant going all the way back to preschool not just because of me always getting into trouble from day one of school (yes preschool) but it would mean me actually telling my teachers that I had a really hard time reading pretty much I could barely read until I was about 19 and to be honest I still struggle with it to this day I know it’s held me back in life and really texting and spellcheck has help me a lot but I still don’t know what’s a verb or how to structure a paragraph or even a sentence really or punctuation beyond like a period question mark or exclamation point. So to anyone struggling in school don’t give up ask someone for help or ask everyone for help it will effect the rest of your life

I have a good bit but I acknowledge them know and try and be better more caring human. The thing I regret the most is back when me and my wife moved in together we were young and we were both just out of high-school so a lot of our friends still like to party. so they would come over a lot and drink have a good time and once I heard her talking with her best friend she was telling her she has a lot of nude photos of herself on her phone she likes to take just for her she's never shown anyone and later when my wife was asleep and her friend was really drunk she was sleeping it off I woke her and she was still out of it and asked her to unlock her phone and she did and I copied her pictures on my laptop and I wpuld regularly jerk off with them and me and my friend found them on my laptop and posted them on a porn site she still doesn't know but I regret doing that still to this day.
Regret is my biggest regret.
I was isolated in my final year of school by my close friends, and I developed severe anxiety and depression as a result. I basically lost 2 years of my life to depression, and my basic regret was the regret I felt in doing so.
Life is life, I learnt so much from the years I had depression, on what fake friends were and how my life and my destiny is based on myself, how I shouldn't let other people's actions define or control me. Feeling regret is regret, if you made a mistake in the past, just think of it as a learning experience.
My biggest regret is not killing my father when I had the chance. He raped me and let his friends "borrow" me every chance he got from the time I was 2 until I was about 14ish. The court system knew about it and the judge was in on it with him as were most of the courthouse officials at the time. No one would ever try to help my mother and I when we tried to take legal action. I finally had a chance to shoot him the last time I saw him, I was so scared I would go to prison and have to leave my animals that I didn't do it..

Not taking time to smell the roses (enjoy the moments) more often during the more busier times of life. Now those moments are gone and i cannot really say I enjoyed them or recall them. Which is something i am working to not do again. Even if its a sucky moment... embrace it and get the lessons out if it that are needed.
They've made for the best growth opportunities so I can't really call them regrets. I did adopt worldviews as a child that didn't serve me in any way for a log time, but I also know I tried to stay as close to the truth as I could, just didn't have the right tools, people and knowledge at the time.
Not really a regret, because we learn from everything we do. But, I feel a bit low lately because I always see the good side of people and tend to ignore "flaws", and for the first time ignoring red flags turned out not so good and it's disappointing.
Working hard to gain highly specialized skills in college and career, only to end up having my earnings lost to divorce and alimony then have my career derailed due to economic, political, and societal factors beyond my control. It would have been better for me if I had gone to trade school and started my own business in a skilled trade.
There are things I would like to say I regret, and some I do, but at the same time, those things contributed to making me the person I am today, so I'm not sure if I'd go back and do them differently if I had the choice, because I like to think the person I am today is pretty good overall.
Not spending more time with my grandfather before he died. I was in my early twenties and wild and stupid and on drugs ( not that people in their early twenties are all stupid and reckless, but I was) and I didn't go and see him like I should have. And he was very fond of me too. That's going to haunt me until the day I die. I wish I could have another chance, but I can't.
I don’t have a lot. Maybe just putting up with 100 hour work weeks on a salary designed for 40 at my last job, and it cost me a lot of time with both my mother and my cat who I had for 19 years in what was the final year of their lives.
No regrets at all, but I'm sure there will be as I grow older. Mistakes happen, but its only a mistake if you don't learn from it. Mistakes shape who we are as a person.
I regret not taking care of my health and not fighting with my parents more cause I listened to them and they created so many problems for me - I would have been better off if I had rebelled
A girl I was with in college. I stopped being with her because she smelled like cilantro. I could have just asked her to use a different soap but instead I stopped talking to her altogether..
Letting friends from my past take advantage of my kindness and willingness to give. I was a major people pleaser. And all it ever achieved was me getting chewed up and spat out and used.
It changes but right now it'd be being dismissive to what seems like the right guy now in retrospect and being welcoming to the wrong guy. Now I'm trying to get the better guys attention. Hasn't worked.

My in kinda petty and stupid
But I kinda wish I started having sex at a younger agehaven't got any... life is too short to mourn the past
Some smoking sexy times I maybe should have made, mmmmm. Other times I had enjoyment, mm so lovely. I loved different other times. Sensual, and delicious and delightful. Happy moments. Oh yes
I was seriously disappointed and angry with God one time and sinned on purpose. I paid for that big time.
Worse thing ever for me.Toss up between trusting the wrong man, and not doing enough before it was too late
