No. I blame myself for not understanding the world well enough, and though my parents (and others) taught me things that were, at best, overly optimistic and naive, I still take responsibility for my choices. It was a valuable lesson that made me a much wiser person in the long run.
People are WAY too fast to try to blame every problem or failure on someone ELSE, and all that does is prevents them from having to learn anything, which means they keep repeating the same mistakes again and again. That's bullshit.
I made a bad choice and I ignored big red flags that I would never ignore today. I could blame her, but that wouldn't help anything. I could have made better choices and saved 3 years and tens of thousands of dollars that I invested into her, but I was stupid and overly optimistic. That was MY fault, and I paid the price, and I also learned the lesson.

I wish I never met my neighbor because she's a loud mouth and never shuts up. She is so annoying
No but many situations where I wish I was much more ME in how I handled things. I can get caught up in A. Pretending I didn’t care. B. Worrying too much about th other persons feelings bc I know my tendency to detach. Both suck and are not conscious enough to be humane despite no intention of causing harm to myself or others. I don’t mind meeting whomever I meet, the stuff that plagues me is my inability to do what I thought or now think is the right thing. usually there is someone deep inside me me that is telling me the right thing but I ghost them too often. Trying to practice more consistency &! follow through in my actions with others & myself I guess 🤷🏻♀️
I have one of those. However, I don't let it get to me that they did me wrong. I let it go, forgave them, and moved on. I forgave them because I needed the healing. It wasn't for them.

The only guy I regret meeting is my enemy at church because he told his ex-girlfriend to harass me online for 20 hours a week and she even tried to have me killed at his command after I hurt his feelings.
Yes. However, they taught me a lesson and this lesson led me to the right people who would show me love and never break my heart like they did.
You know not really, sure I have people in my past that defiantly did me wrong... I would say hurt my feelings but not broke my heart to pieces. But no I do not think I would go back and just blow past them... I mean think I learned so much about myself by going through those experiences, that if I did not have those experiences I would not be the totally amazing person I am today.
I also believe because I had all those bad experiences that I have side stepped a lot of really terrible mistakes I would of made but didn't because I recognized them for what and who they were at the time.
There's many people I've met that I didn't like, guys I hooked up with, supposed friends, and some family members I didn't even get along with but most are dead now, and if I really think about it.. I learned at least one thing from each and every one of those people.
I mean not really. Because while it sucks you learn from it. One woman I knew kind of broke me for a year. But now I've grown from it. I may get into a relationship. But I have a clear dividing line between me and her. I will not get lossed in a relationship so deep that I forget about who I am. In short there an area of me that no woman can touch. I think that's good and bad. It makes me more independent. But it also naturally makes me less trusting. As long as she doesn't take that personal we'll be fine.
Yeah my ex. I wanted her since I was 18 and when I finally got her I was over the moon.
It was short lived as she turned out to be a narcissist and bully me and hurt me and now I wish I never met her.
I’ve left her now but she’s still harassing me online which is annoying but I’m hoping she’ll just go away.Yes…it’s been 30 years since she dumped me like a bad habit. Her image comes to my mind at least once a day all of this time later. I never obsessed about anyone else like this…not even close! Honestly I wish I could never think about her or try to think about what went wrong. Seen her on Facebook a couple of times and she doesn’t look a day older than 19 or 20 when I met her.
Yes! My ex-husband who told me he wanted children, then right after I gave birth to our first child, he abandoned us. We were married for four years and waited three years before I became pregnant.
But I got THE BEST part of him! My son!!♥️Not really no. I would want to meet them but try and fix things.
i would say that meeting someone, then fucking up but wanting to go back to the start and meet again, this time not fucking up.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/9n3A_-HRFfcI have known a few people like that. All of them have been men who were deeply insecure and materialistic. I've never met any women that I regret knowing. Even my ex (who handled our break up extremely poorly) is just someone that I just regard as a largely happy memory.
Unfortunately, they aren't the original copy of douchebaggery. There are tons of them just like that everywhere, looking to take advantage of others.
Even if you did go past them, another would pop up and you'd be facing the same regret.
What it did do was allow you to experience it earlier so you can save time by being more aware of bad decisions that could happen in the future.
I think everyone you love will one day, whether on accident or purpose, put a knife in you, maybe big or maybe small. Just life.
I remember being so heartbroken and upset over Ana, twelve years ago. I wish things had gone so much better. Now she's off married with 1 or 2 kids last I looked.
It's easy to wish you never met someone. But I want to still cherish the joy and happiness that she gave me from being in my life that short time.
Oh yes, I can think of two people who I messed it up with. A second chance would be wonderful, but who is to know if I would do it better the next time...
Damn, yea wish I never crossed path with her my life would've been so much better without her, gave her my trust she cheated, but I learn from my mistakes👍🏼
Yeah... I've met them... but I do sometimes wonder if it weren't for their wrongdoings I wouldn't have been able to get to the point where I am...
They taught me the harsh lessons of lifeNo. My ex did a good number on me, took me little while to get over it. But wouldn't change things, maybe the last fee weeks. I can still see the positives, we had good times and I learnt a lot from her.
I can think of at least five. Got my hopes up, each of them. But in the end, each one was a complete loser, who brought nothing but misery to the table.
I've got 3 people I wish I could restart with because boy did I screw up with them!
Yeah my ex best friend. She made my life miserable. I don't see her anymore but when I do it gives me anxiety.
Well not really as they were in my life for a reason and i needed the lessons from my time around them to form me into the man i am now for better or worse.
