What's the one thing you've done you regret every day...

[Ushario]

Can't say that I can think of anything I truly regret. There are things that make me sad when I think of them but in the end its gotten me where I am.

Live in the moment!

 

[Xojins]

Well... all my decisions so far have caused me to become what I am now, so I don't really have too many regerets.

 

[similar.squirrel]

I should have ignored people calling me ugly instead of checking and finding out I am.
That would have saved one hell of a lot of hassle, I think.

 

[Ophiuchus]

I did a really effective job of screwing up my last relationship. Can't help regretting that. We were great friends before we got together and intended to remain friends after we broke up, but y'know, drifting etc. So, yeah. If I hadn't been a bloody idiot, we'd probably be in a better position - perhaps not together, but certainly still in contact. Last I heard she's very happy now, and I'm quite content being single, so I guess it's not all bad.

Generally though, I tend to have more regrets over things I didn't do.

 

[Andalusa]

I don't really regret things.
Sure I look back on stuff and think I could have done some things a little differently, but it's not like I can go back and change it, so I don't really dwell on things.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Can't recall anything, mostly because most bad things always have some hidden good side.

For example, wasting money on rollerblades (wich I never used) when I was like...10 or something, made me financially capable from a very early age. Or when I was 13, and just didn't have the balls to ask a certain girl out. I don't regret that now, because I would probably have never met the girl I love now.

Nope, I ditched regret along my road to recovery.

 

[Angerwing]

Failed relationship with father (mostly my fault), failed to ask out girl of my dreams (who I now know used to like me), botched a few good friendships, realised I am a horrible, horrible person, although everyone thinks I'm a really nice, sweet guy (I'm really understanding and kind, but I'm actually a bit of a /b/tard inside)... Yeah. Not much more.

 

[dwightsteel]

So there's not one big mistake you made that makes you feel gut wrenched?

Nope, not a damn thing.

Mostly, I have horrible things happen to me, rather than it being me who does stupid things.

I've only made a few mistakes I can think of - the universe just hates me.

No it was more her pretending that she missed two monthly's to screw with my head...

So the problem wasn't "we didn't use a condom," it was "I stuck it in the crazy."

If I stuck it in the crazy with a condom she wouldn't have faked it...*taps nose*

Agreed. Honestly, sometimes crazy is an amazing and memorable place to stick it. Gotta take the good with the bad on that one.

I attempted to murder my sister.
Though the method was amusing: I smothered her with a large, stuffed, red furred hippo.
But, yes, I regret the fact I tried to kill her every time I see her... which is every day.

If it makes you feel better, my half-brother and half-sister threatned eachother with a TV and a kitchen knife, respectively.

And on that note, my uncle once threw a kitchen knife at my other uncle and lodged it 3 inches into his calf.

Not killing my little sister when i was younger and had the chance you be outta juvy by now. I coulda killed her, been back here in 10 years, and been playing Assassins Creed 2 like nothing happened. FYI shes the devil, you know, if he were real and exceptionally evil ALL THE TIME

Dude, you totally stole my post. No, I get it, I do. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love my sister, but I couldn't list on fingers and toes how many ways my life would have been better without her. The scars I wouldn't have, the self-esteem problems, the horrible, horrible memories, all those years wasted, not to mention a certain incident with one of her friends when I was young that I'd rather forget.

But no, I don't think I really would have wanted to kill her. Horrible as she is, I could never be a murderer.

To the OP, way to make a thread to bring up everything traumatic a person has evr inflicted on themselves.

True regrets... I'm not sure. I'm happy with my life now, but I'm sure I could have made it to this point on a much smoother path. I regret going to my first LAN party. I regret doing drugs. I regret leaving a boyfriend I had many years ago.

People who don't have regrets are people who have never truly fucked themselves over. And I'm the queen of it. I don't spend my days moping over all the things I could have done differently, but if I could do it all again, I'd do it a lot different.

 

[Airhead]

I try to go with Musashi's words and never regret anything I have done. Many of my mistakes taught me a lot. Also, when I think about some things I've done wrong in the past I realize it's not like I was able to do any better, considering the limitations of my past self.

Furthermore, I came to think that I only really regret things I HAVEN'T done, instead of those I have...

 

[gigastrike]

I can't decide.

 

[vamp rocks]

ehhh i dont regret the stupid shit iv done... because of that mistake i have learned and are now capable of dealing with that situation properly...

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

not getting to know my great grandparents.they were alive,I just didn't see them,but there gone now and all I have of them is a bible.

 

[Lynx]

Not showing my ex how pissed I was for the way he broke up with me.
I guess I figured then it was better not to, but damn, I still have a bit of a grudge against him.


Also I regret hurting one of my best friends/current boyfriend back in the day. We're past it completely, but it still boggles my mind sometimes how I could be so selfish.

 

[Sigel]

Every minute I wasted with my loser ex boyfriend. I can't write the amount of descriptive profanity I would like here, so please just imagine it for yourself, I have faith in your abilities.

 

[NotAPie]

Read the message that got me put on probation...
As much as I hate him I regret it everyday.
Poor guy needed help.

 

[Fairee]

I currently don't have any regrets. Although when I do, it's usually because I've either hurt someone really badly or it's to do with love.

Okay, if anyone ever bothers to read this post, it should make you searchbar cops happy. I was going to start a topic on this very subject, but then I went ahead and did a search, and found this topic from less than a month ago. so here I am, doing my lowly post at the end of three pages instead of starting a topic and getting attention. I hope you're happy.

The thing I regret the most is wasting my childhood. I could have done so much more. But I spent it constantly worried about what others thought of me, and so hid in my room and read most of the time. I could have taught myself things, done my homework, saved my money, gone to college. I have always known what I wanted to do with my life, but I've never really had the gumption to do it. It's all a big fucking tragedy.

I must add, of course, that if things had been too different, I would never have met my husband and we would never have had our lovely beautiful perfect amazing talented daughter. I wouldn't trade her for anything, not even a lifetime pursuing that calling I don't even have the courage to reveal.
