What's your biggest regret?

[MarzipanDragyn]

If I get too into detail and let myself dig everything up, I'm going to have a mental breakdown. I'll just say this:

I regret that I can't seem to let anything go.

I ate only two clif bars a day for like three months straight. That was pretty ****ty.

Welp I’ve been married before.. soo that?
They left me, although it’s a good thing because I would have never left them & therefore never have met my current partner x.x

Spoiler: trig warning: suicide

not talking to my friend the night she killed herself :/ i had the chance to do so but i didn't because i thought she'd be fine and wake up the next day but she didn't and that's what honestly tears me up the most, i couldve done something but i didnt and maybe if i did talk to her that'd bring her enough semblance and realization that life isn't meaningless. that's probably the biggest regret in my life right now and her death impacted my whole life because of the guilt and how messed up it was. i've accepted and am over her passing now, but the effects of what happened back then still linger somewhat. miss u lani. if only you got to see how big BTS is today and how proud u must be of them

I think my biggest regret is the college/university I chose. It's a private institution that gave me a lot of money to go there, but I hate their values and the administration clearly doesn't care about their student body.

I also don't like the location... kind of wish I could've went to school somewhere more peaceful in a nicer area that I could go explore myself. There's shootings, and all sorts of crimes sometimes on/off campus... just doesn't feel safe.
If my major forces me to sit in front of a computer all day, I'd at least like the choice to go outside and go on nice walks/hikes in my downtime to destress. Buuuuut seems the solution at my school is to just down a couple bottles lol

Probably accidentally cutting off my friend's over the course of last summer... I went into 7th grade without anyone to really talk to, and it stayed that way until a little later in the year when people would try to befriend me. But, I had become so quiet I could hardly hold a good conversation with anyone.
It's not fun being lonely for this long even as the stereotypical shy, thumb-twiddling introvert that I am.

EDit: Also, I said a racial slur in, what, 4th grade? I think? But, not as to insult someone but to ask what it meant. Thankfully someone explained it to me and it was brushed off, but I always feel that guilt.

My neighbour is homeschooling her kid until grade 4. Her other kids are currently in school and you can already tell the difference. The homeschooled one definitely behaves younger than she is. Not that she's doomed or anything but it just makes me sad to watch that happen. There's probably a reason why she's being homeschooled so hopefully that's why.

I know two people who are homeschooled and they act pretty, er, young? They're the same age as me. They're really nice, actually, but I wonder if they would've been different had they been to a public school.

cutting people off when i was younger, yikes

Allowing myself to be beaten down, manipulated to the core, and not even comprehend or understand my worth with two separate narcissistic sociopathic ex-boyfriends, right in a row. I just had to say it, I won't go into detail, but I'll be vulnerable and say that my brain kind of broke a little bit and I still am trying to find myself. It's working more and more, but I'll say my biggest regret is simply not knowing my worth and allowing myself and my happiness to be somewhat destroyed.

Suffering in silence for 12 years before speaking up about my experiences with high school bullying. I’m barely into college and scarred for life.

I bit a good friend of mine today. I drew blood. He took my candy, and while it just happened today I feel like I cannot recover my friendship with him or trust with him. it was weird too I didn't feel like I needed t or anything but I did. idk.

edit: I am in middle school, I'm not an adult who bit his friend.

(sigh) this is going to be painful for me I made a bad impression on this site. Let me explain,I first used back when I joined this site back in August 2020 also, I was the one who made those posts about Animal Crossing New Horizons where I talked about and expressed thoughts on it. I have to be real honest, I haven't had the best time on this site since 2020, I admit I was very sensitive, very overdramatic, and always had trouble trying to meet people because I suffer from Autism, Depression and I'm mostly and introvert. I quitted this site since around April 2021 when my mental health was really suffering. Felt like no matter what was happening in my life or whatever I say I knew I was going to get the bad results. It was on me because I made a bad thread which already was bad enough because it created "bad first impressions"

You may have saw me in forums where I sometimes got a little offended when someone disagrees with my viewpoint or opinion. I often get very tensed up and say things that I don't really mean which earned me warning points. It was then I was led to believe that I was started to become a burden to everyone. I know some people tried to cheer me up and told me that I haven't done anything wrong, but the truth is that no matter what I said or what I used to say I was afraid it would be used against me in the future, which was one of the reason why I deleted most of my posts. I can only cringe at myself for all the awful things I said, but I learned that it was in the past and it was time for me to move on. Then I made the WORST mistake around November 2021. I made a very sensitive thread and I wanted to come back more changed and not have to leave yet again. Right now I just don't have anymore feelings left. I sometimes say or do things that I don't normally do because I let the emotions get the better of me. Right now I am just going to post and say things that I mean and not let the "Fake Positivity" ruin me as a person. I had it for far too long.


So that is my painful story of what I regret the most after being on this site for 3 years. The memories still haunt me.

To be honest I kinda regret going to art school. I did not know what I wanted to do at the time, didn't even know what I'd major in. But my parents wouldn't let me take even 1 year in between graduating high school and going to college, so I went to art school.

I loved the city my university was in and I did learn a lot; got a lot better at art in general but I don't think I graduated anywhere near the level I should have. I slacked off a lot when I should have been drawing and studying. And honestly IDK if I even want to have a career in fine art, or if I even have the willpower. I wish I had gotten a more.. employable degree, which probably would have been a fraction of the cost. My parents took on most of the student loan debt and it makes me feel so guilty.

Why do they let 17/18 year olds make such a huge financial decision like that lmao. I feel like if I had waited at least 10 years to go to art school, I'd have taken it a lot more seriously. Not that I would have needed to, since you can learn so much on the internet for free now.

i regret not getting help sooner for my health it's not 100% my fault, my mom refused to take me to a doctor or therapist. but i could have gotten myself help sooner once i moved out, but i was too focused on work to care about myself... i shouldn't have given so much energy to a job i hated when i could have spent that time being in a better headspace like i am now.

I have a number of them:

-Shutting down to my health issues right out of high school instead of taking care of them. This has drastically effected my life ever since. When I shut down on those, I also shut down thinking about my future, because I didn't think I had one. It's only in the past couple of years that I have begun addressing those issues and piecing my life back together. I lost so many years living in a bubble of immaturity and I think that this perhaps cost me getting to be with the one I loved so dearly. (that's just speculation, perhaps there's no way it could have worked between us lol).

-As said above, not looking toward the future. I went through many years of college with only a vague graduation goal, I was in college to take classes to learn and keep myself in a bubble instead of actually thinking of reasonable future careers for me. The past several years have been a wake up call for me. Both with new health issues and the government being taken over by nuts who are taking away my rights and freedoms. I wish I had set myself up on a career that made decent money and is optimal for blue states like the Northeastern ones, so I could make this move there easier.

-My high school attitude. I was a teenager, I have to forgive myself some, but I was drama queen and just flat out rotten. Treating everyone around me like crap and making drama out of nothing. At the end of the day, this is my smallest regret, because it happens. I have made amends with some of them, the IRL ones at least.

Restarting my Animal Crossing Wild World town at some point while I was going crazy waiting for New Leaf to come out. I‘d never deleted any of my main saves on any of the games before and to this day it still feels wrong…….

This is obviously not my actual biggest regret but my real regrets are too painful and not funny so there you go B)

 

[allainah]

I can relate to you, but for me it was middle school. It makes me so sad thinking about how people treated me and the things they said to me; if only i had the knowledge i have now to know what to say back to them :/ back then i was just speechless. BUt also for recent times my biggest regret is letting my anger get the best of me, I can say some things I don't mean that are pretty rude.

Either dropping out from year 7 or sticking around really hard on a particular site for years (not here and NOT going to specify or explain the drama from that site).

I don’t know, I got to be proud of my self-improvement after dropping out and things DID need to change around me. Unsustainable to be in such a bad school and come back home to the same arguments and awful parenting. I think I regret sticking on that site more, around people who decided that they hated me anyway, but I understand why I did.

I also should have pushed harder for art classes but I was defeated by then, it was the last straw.
