Any Regrets?

[Hawk eye1466]

As my best friend and I would yell after asking that question and just before we go down the first hill of a roller coaster, NEVER AHAHAHA!

But in all honesty yeah one or two things, like trusting some people that went out of their way to be dicks, not remembering how to play presidents, being nicer to some people, staying in touch with some of my closer friends that are at different high schools and remembering to do my goddamned homework.

After my last relationship ended, I was still really in love with my ex-girlfriend even though we were trying to remain just friend. Even so, I did a lot to try and get her back together with me. On one occasion her and I decided to have sex again, and it ruined everything and to this day she holds it over me and vilifies me to everyone. I regret that more than anything else. Urgh...

 

[WolfThomas]

Nope, everything I did stupid or wrong lead to this moment where I am going to be a doctor in less than a year and I have a great girlfriend.

I probably should of worked harder in school and played less online. Its just hard you know. I spent most of my childhood completely alone void of any friendships and then I suddenly find all these wonderful people who love me for who I am online. I sort of lost myself in it.

I mean I still did good, I graduated college with a Bachelors Degree I can see myself becoming very successful in my field. But still, I often think if I could be more. As a kid I wanted to be a scientist, to apply my critical thinking skills towards solving real world problems. Now my degree is in the entertainment industry. My childhood self would of spit on me for doing what I've done.

I happen to be mtf trans and I wish I had transitioned earlier. Sure I pass without issue, and am completely stealth, some people even think cute, I started hormones at 23. I should have just went to middle school wearing a dress but I was a stupid coward due to living in the south, daily experiencing harsh bullying even from teachers (had a teacher furious at me for crossing my legs) and my parents were very harsh when I tried to tell them at 11. They still don't accept me though claim they are open minded people who hate bigotry. I was given the option to dress as a girl in 7th grade for halloween but I was too nervous to say yes. To this day and the day I die, I will never forgive myself hence why I sometimes starve myself. Wish I was born into one of those supportive families, but I guess I'm not worth anything. Sadly, I don't even have any friends to really fall back on for support.

Also I wish I took up piano when I was young. I feel like I'm playing catch up learning in my 20's. Sure, I learned how to play some great pieces like Howl's Moving Castle, but if only I had started earlier instead of watching TV shows I didn't like. It would have been a good outlet considering how much my life was hell back then.

I would add in all the years spent working on my writing, but I just landed a literary agent for my trans teen novel. Sure I like writing, but the constant rejection letters over a decade saying how good of a writer I am, but too niche was crushing. With this latest manuscript, I've gotten a lot of positive responses from other agents. My agent thinks she knows some publishers who would be interested. My parents refuse to read any books trans related, but maybe just maybe they'd read this one. Perhaps something can go right in my existence.

Hmm, back in school I used to bully weaker kids to feel better about myself. I regret it now and certainly have no pride about it, but I don't exactly beat myself up over it either. I was in my early to mid-teens and I was an idiot who did idiotic things. You just got to move on from it, really.

.........>_< But some of these courses are so hard and annoying that they drive me insane...

Oy... *tries to study some more Probability and Statistics*

Probability and statistics are the devil's spawn. I'm very, very sorry for you.

I feel sorry for me too...This is the second time I take this freakin course, and I'm STILL getting my ass kicked.

And of course, my family is all like "But you took it once before!! You should be doing well in it!", disregarding the fact that it was a year ago (hence I forgot most of the info), and that the course is really freakin hard!

;_;

Pages of them. Seems my entire high school, and most of my current college career is very little but regrets. unfortunately, most of them are just me wallowing in self-pity, so I won't bore you with them.

My birth. I bring nothing to this planet, I hate others and myself for doing the same, and honestly, I'm contributing to a global overpopulation problem. I have no reason to be here.

Just a a big sunshine rainbow with sprinkles on top, aren't we?

OOooon topic:

Right now I'm regretting not even making a basic attempt to do any of the work I'm missing/needs to be done. I know full well what happens when I just skip over my shit, but that hasn't changed anything in my daily routine.

 

[Palademon]

I don't know. I can't really think of anything, though I do often only remember embarassing stuff. It's made worse by the fact I was the type of person that whenever happy in secondary school it practically put up a sign post for people to insult me. I always go mad when friends demonstrate they remember certain things I did that actually deserve mocking.

I guess I just wish I didn't do some stupid stuff when younger. It's only little stuff though so I can't really list it. Chances are I'll look back at what I'm doing now later and be embarassed of myself.

An example would be when I was in primary school and still had birthday parties, I invited 6 random people from my class because that seemed like what others did for their parties, and I failed to realise I didn't really have any friends. We were going to watch a movie and we voted, and I threw a fit because I was the only one to vote for one thing and ofcourse me being an idiot I got my way. That entire day was probbaly just a big awkward moment for those involved and didn't occur to me until years later.

Sure I have minor regrets over the minor and mudane stuff however there are three I regret the most-

I foolistly trim my toenails too short which resulted in ingrowing toenails problems. This happen during my Highschool year so I had a difficult time when I had this problem (I had to miss out PE). Even when I had the operation it still come back so it took a few years until it was fully over.

Not applying/ taking summer jobs before I went to University. I was enjoying my new found freedom and free time that I didn't think far enough of my consequences which is pretty much biting me in the butt right now. Sure this doesn't mean I would have a job right now but my CV would of look better with the experience I would of gotten.

Not going with my mum to Hong Kong as a holiday to see my brother Dragon boat race. I have several good reasons for not going (didn't want to use my cash since I'm already low, Dad wasn't going so I wanted to keep him company and didn't want to deal with my bro high and mighty attitude and etc). However when they return and seeing the photos I regret so much since I did wanted to go so I can buy present to my closest mates (they didn't ask me to but I wanted to).

 

[krazykidd]

All my regrets have to do with women . And i still haven't learned anything ... Soo yeah either im going to regret MORE things in the future or i need to swear off women ... The latter seems like the logical choicE

 

[BishopofAges]

To be completely honest, I have smaller regrets about the past that I let go on a day-by-day basis, but my biggest regret is spending more than 10 minutes reading the Six Million Secrets page, theres some seriously depressing stuff there. I'm a happy guy, but day-um.

Also as a current anxiety that could become a 'future regret' I severely hope I never get Princess-in-another-castle syndrome, you all know what I mean.

 

[imnot]

I regret being alien bastards. I regret coming to Earth.

And I most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up my raggedy-ass fleet!

 

[Retardinator]

Probably letting myself trust people too easily. I find a lot of people just get kicks off hurting you, building up your trust then shattering it and weakening you.
It's not a very nice way to think but it's better to be safe than sorry now and just lock everyone out until they can give me a reason to trust them.

I used to feel this way, but found a way around it. I never expect anything from anyone. Not even myself. If someone comes through with something, great. But there's still that next time. No expectations = less disappointment.

 

[putowtin]

Regrets? I've had a few, but then again, to few to mention
I did what I had to do, and saw it through without exemption.

 

[renegade7]

Listening to people I shouldn't have. My parents told me that "My ADHD means I am never going to do well in school" and I believed them (though I did luck out on my college applications). I let a school bully in the 5th grade convince me that I was a loser, and it has stuck with me since. I let my first girlfriend abuse me psychologically and convince me that I could never have anyone else (she later left me for someone else) and my relationship life has been a disaster ever since, and it's been 5 years since her.

I also regret not getting out more, spending more time outside and with friends...I never did well socially but I wish to this day I had just put myself out there a bit more.

Staying around and trying to help people I shouldn't have wasted my time with. I should have left and moved to my dad's the second I began to worry my mom was an alcoholic, instead I stuck around for 7 years.
