What is something you wish you never did?

I wish I had been more motivated in high school so I could be done with my degree now lol
 
so many things, but the first i can think of is trusting a bunch of people. definitely shouldn't have done that
 
i wish that i wasn't so gullible when i was younger, i would have a lot less to think about now. but i could also regret knowing the truth

This is a dark thread.

I'll just be non-contributive.

Didn't mean for it to be a dark thread, I was hoping for more light-hearted answers like "ate garlic bread without brushing my teeth in the morning" or "ran into a pole, that **** hurt." But I can see how it could be taken with dark answers.
 
I wish I didn't agree to hold a strainer over the sink while the boyfriend poured boiling pasta and water into it.

RIP: my hand
 
Only one? I made a whole bunch of poor choices in 2010 and 2011 that I regret very much.
It all started when, during my 5th grade year (the 2010-2011 school year), I began annoying these three guys in my class (one was a friend I had since 3rd grade, whereas the other two were friends of his), and so I quickly got on bad terms with all three of them. In October of 2010, the one that I was friends with ended his friendship with me, which seriously bothered me as we had been friends since February of 2009, and we had become very close.
The other was, that when the next school year started in August of 2011 (6th grade), I started being friends with this mentally ill, suicidal boy, who would end up stressing me out for nearly four years after that, and he still bothers me from time to time now. I realize that he can't help his problems but they're not easy to deal with.
If I had not made those missteps from October of 2010 to August of 2011, my life would be much better.

I wish I'd have stood up for myself more when I was a kid. As it was I would just let anybody say or do what they wanted so I got pushed around a lot until I got to high school. Picked myself up after that but it was a lot of wasted miserable years which I should have been enjoying. And I wish I had never left my first school job several years back....only did so because of the head teacher making life uncomfortable for me but I should have stuck it out and seen my union over it. Instead I left a good job in a local area with kids I loved. Have another job now in the same area but it's not the same and I do miss it. Just again wishing I had asserted myself a bit more a lot sooner
 
I both wish I had never shared a about my feelings/mental illnesses but also regret never having opened up more and getting help... it's a catch 22
 
I wish I hadn't trusted people online so easily. I made terrible decisions in chatrooms and on forums that ultimately have ruined my ability to have a functioning dating-like relationship or any kind of romantic/sexual relationship until about this year. I constantly had OCD and anger management issues because I was always worried people were out to get me or something especially when it came to my vulnerability.

I also really wish I had just ditched some friends way earlier. If I could have just ditched my old group of friends and found my best friends that I have now, life would have been much better in my freshman/sophomore year of HS.
