does anyone else wish you could redo your life with what you know now?

[theloserestloser]

i think one of the biggest things making me want to ctb is the fact that my childhood and teen years are gone and can never come back and i wasted them all... if i could just go back and redo them, itd be kind of miserable but i think id be better off in the long run. idk i just think i missed out on everything to the point where watching shows aimed at preteens makes me cry.

 

[completely-done]

I get what you mean. I'm sorry your childhood was filled with sadness. Parents are not perfect unfortunately, and many times they screw us up

 

[bloodfallsfirst]

No, except maybe one decision, because I've met too many shitty people and gone through too much stuff to deal with those situations all over again.

This is a very interesting question! It is kind of difficult for me to answer though. Initially, I'm thinking heck yes I would redo my life with the knowledge I have now. But on second thought, I don't think I'm really up for another go-round in this human body. Just too much heartache, betrayal, and my spirit has been completely damaged in this realm to want to come back and do it all again. Once I go, I prefer to stay gone, no do-overs.

My childhood and even teen years were completely destroyed by my narc/sociopathic parents. I have lived most of my life surrounded by such people,mitigating one abuse after another. I never got to live life in a normal way. I do feel sometimes If I would have a chance of going back with the current info. on how such abuse plays out and the impact of trauma,then maybe I would have lived instead of surviving. But I don't think I could face those events ever again. Enough things inside me have been destroyed to make me crave for a life.

I was born autistic and have suffered from anxiety most of my life. I would certainly do things differently, like stand up to bullies, confess to a crush maybe, and have made one life ruining mistake, but I just don't think I'd have the energy or the will to.

 

[summers]

Yes, absolutely. I would change a lot of small things that would have just improved my life at various points, and a few major decisions that would have made my adult life much better. Wouldn't change my timeline for ctb, because it's not circumstantial, but life would have been awesome for sure.

Maybe knowing what you do now, you could have run away from home and possibly had a better life.

Yea but if I could redo my entire life, I might make bad decisions because I know the future and not just the good ones. All the things I want to change are from my adult life.

 

[SuicidallyCurious]

If I could have redone life I would have done the following:


Skipped university and gone straight to getting CDL, saved money until about 25 and do a mini retirement before the CTB

 

[Lost Magic]

No, because I don't think it would change much if I went back. I might have gone on to do other things but, ultimately, I would still have mental health problems. Remember, we don't always have control over things as much as we would like and shit can still hit the fan at anytime. Life is chaotic and messy and the sooner people realize that the more they can let go.

 

[downndone2]

It would do anything to turn back time with the knowledge I have now. I wouldnt be in this misery and praying to die

Skipped university and gone straight to getting CDL

Everyone I know who did this makes more than me, and has total job security. They can quit a place that sucks and have a new job by the next day. I don't know if I would have gone with a CDL, but I would have loved to get into industrial welding. Bridges and buildings constant need to be built and need repair.

 

[whatevs]

I think about this frequently, and things would've been much, much different if I could go back in time. For starters, I would buy Bitcoin, but more importantly I would avoid the mistakes that rendered me mostly invalid.

I was ready to buy about $50k worth when it dipped down to $3000 a couple years back. Worst mistake of my life not to do that.

I would have cashed out at least half when it broke past $50k for the first time. That would have given me $400k cash. Right now, even if I cashed out the remainder, I would have another $300k. $700k total would last me the rest of my (short) life.

In my case I heard rumours about it going to blow up in the forums I spent all day in my 20s, and that was many years ago, but I was too depressed and physically sick to care about that. I should have thought that misery with money is better than misery by itself.

The idea with crypto and other millennial cons is to buy low, sell high and then buy with the profit something that has actual value. You have to be retarded to think these things have any inherent value, especially NFTs, which are peak retardation.

I don't know 'cause I also have multiple chronic illnesses due to them. But If I would have better health going back,maybe I would do many things that I couldn't like standing up to abusers,finding a job I liked and fleeing my home forever. But honestly I want non existence if that's possible.

 

[Crazy4u]

good question. If I can go back I would definitely ctb in my early twenties. Many of the issues I have now are out of control. Going back in time and making changes won't improve the outcome. I was doomed from the start and should have never been born in the first place

 

[RetroChaos]

I'd happily do it again if it just means a do-over with my ex, being childhood sweethearts. I would actually spend time with my parents instead of developing a porn addiction and getting into trouble that way. I had it good unlike most people I just chose to throw it all away. And that's what makes me wanna end it all so much, the fact I had everything I could want yet I still threw it away rather than simply overcome adversity like most people.

 

[FuneralCry]

No, not at all. I do not want to redo this life. If I had to do it again it would not be that much better. In my case I am simply not meant for this world. I should have never really been born in the first place. I only wish for non existence, I do not want any kind of life. Life is mostly just pain and suffering.

 

[Justsogone]

I think so.
I'd wish it
In that way I would get rid of all my traumas and big mistakes I did

 

[justsayin]

Nope.

 

[Zzzzz]

No. I don't want anything to do with my life again. This is definitely a one and done shit show for me.

 

[senti-mental]

I would absolutely go for a redo if i could. If it were possible, id do everything to get away from my abusive family as a child before mental illness kicked in big time and made it so much harder to get out.

 

[myopybyproxy]

yeah, i would make sure i did it right the first time instead of the bullshit that failing once put me through.

 

[UpandDownPrincess]

There are not any circumstances nor any amount of money that would convince me to relive junior high school.

But knowing how bad it was, you could just have done home schooling, online school, or went to a different school.

 

[Mr2005]

Not all of it just from 2005

 

[CyberCat95]

I wish I would have reached out for help sooner. I might not have ended up where I am now.
