What things do you regret?

What things do you regret?

Be aware that I'm going to go a bit personal here.

I regret not telling how i feel to the first girl i ever had feelings for how i feel about her.

I went through 2 years without telling her. Now, that i have left school, and she went to a different college to me, i don't see her anymore. I try texting her as a general conversation, nothing. I try Facebook, nothing. If i did tell her, nothing might have even happened, but at least i would get it off my system.

One thing which I will not say because it can never be corrected and there's no sense dwelling on it.

Except that one thing....I regret nothing in my life.

I have plenty of regrets, but I don't dwell on them and just look to the future. Everyone has something that they regret in life, but the key is to just move on and try to focus on the here and now. If you keep dwelling on what you regret, it will consume you, and that's not a good thing.

I regret telling some girl's boyfriend that we were seeing each other behind his back.

He knew, but I still should have just dismissed that relationship swiftly and quietly.

Nice one Bubbly. I was thinking the same thing.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-27-2013, 09:28 AM

Yeah, I may have had past regrets, but I don't even remember them, but I don't regret anything at the moment, and that's good.

As long as you learn from your mistakes, you'll live a life without regrets.

A person in my life would have deserved more attention. I regret it deeply. Now it's too late.

*Icebot* · 12-06-2013, 05:14 PM

I regret not getting my work done on time and it's because I like to go slow. I think the only way to get it done is to do it quickly but I like to think that slow and steady wins the race.

I shoulda bought that DVD when I first saw it at Walmart, because now it's gone.

*Krutch* · 12-09-2013, 04:09 PM

I regret not learning quick enough that being the nice guy only gets you so far. I had a serious problem with putting everyone else before me regardless of how much I was entitled or how much they didn't deserve it; I sacrificed a lot of what I wanted and its kind of left me with nothing now.

Beeing meek is a good quality to have, but you need to know when to fight for what you want. I wish I learned that a long, long time ago.

*plastroncafe* · 12-09-2013, 04:13 PM

I regret not taking advantage of opportunities when they presented themselves. Not ending relationships sooner. Not buying those kick-ass rocketship flannel sheets back in the day.

I think it's shortsighted to assume 'regret' means "Something That Keeps You Up At Night," rather than a mistake you've learned from and won't duplicate in the future.

I don't think having regrets automatically means you're unhappy with where you are.

*zkarlette* · 12-10-2013, 11:13 PM

I regret many, many things...but for today, it was eating that goddamned chocolate pastry.

Bakushan · 12-10-2013, 11:20 PM

I regret nothing. Nothing.

Every mistake is a lesson.

Every pain is a lesson.

Every hurt is a lesson.

You are who you are right now because of the sum of every regrettable thing you have ever done. So, don't regret it.

Without those things, you would not be who you are.

Hazel-rah · 12-11-2013, 03:46 PM

I prefer to think of them as life lessons over regrets. Everyone has things they wish they had done differently. Just try not to make the same mistake twice.

Ditto, and don't forget the weeds...but you can always get the ghost for that one.

Rushing into home ownership. My house is practically falling down around my ears...and there's little we can do about it.

Oh dude I'm sorry. You've certainly got friends if you ever need to vent. That has to be stressful.
