Discussion If you could go back in time and change something in your life (your own birth doesn't count) what would it be?

[daydreamer52]

I would probably make different decisions about some already fucked up relationships.

 

[groucho]

So many things I can barely count them all. A life full of regret.

 

[Darkover]

i'd go back to 2013 and never smoke spice research chemical

 

[ctb86]

I wouldn't change anything. For me existence is meaningless. Changing something would be equally meaningless.

 

[EminemTupacDrDre567]

I just wish I never had depression and things would've been much different. I believe I'd have a happy marriage and maybe have a decent career.

 

[sammiechzxv]

I wouldn't have argued so much with the people I cared about

 

[mouseteacup]

If I could somehow make it so that my mother was less stressed when I was little, I think I could have had a good life. She was a bad parent because she couldn't cope with all the stress in her life in a way that didn't hurt others; she took her stress out on me. I wish she'd gone to therapy.

 

[Ampsvx123]

I would have a sugarfree life, diabetes is hell-like.

 

[Stoldy]

I'd have tried to save all my old game consoles from being broken. Being an immature youth who didn't realize how valuable his things were... It kind of drives me crazy thinking about all of my lost, damaged belongings.

[Touhou]

Go back to 2011 and buy bitcoin.

 

[EndJstifiesTheMeans]

Everything honestly i always make the wrong chooise but with good intention

 

[tora]

I really don't think anything I could do would change my life in a major way, I feel like no matter what choices I made I'd still end up the way I am. but I'd probably go back in time to kill my sister's abuser. he was a close family friend and lived in our house when I was a kid and had no idea what he was doing to her. I wish I could go back and beat him to death with a baseball bat or just in anyway that would be slow and painful for him.

 

[Gaga786]

I would have stood up for myself against my bullies and the teachers that humiliated me each day.

 

[BurgundySnap]

Hello, I would have been honest with my friends from the very beginning.

 

[doneforlife]

Nothing. I don't seem to have the power to introduce any change that will drastically change my current situation.

 

[FuneralCry]

If I'm not able to stop myself from having the ability to exist in this dreadful reality in the first place then I would wish to cease existing at an earlier age as suicide is suffering prevention, only the true peace of non-existence is ideal to me. But sadly suicide barely feels like an option for me as it's purposely made so difficult and inaccessible after all, to be honest I'm not really interested in existing at all, I only desire nothingness not any changed life, I just see existence as being so unnecessary and harmful.

 

[neonzebra]

I would go back and switch my degree to something useful so I'd at least have a proper career now.
Apart from that I'm not sure if one decision would have changed anything.

 

[Asingletwig]

I would help myself succeed my first attempt with what I know now

 

[Ruma]

I would go back to a time id never of met him!

 

[Ashu]

I would have chosen not to go to university.

 

[アホペンギン]

i'd go back to 2013 and never smoke spice research chemical

Is that how you got brain damage?

 

[Darkover]

Is that how you got brain damage?

no but thats when things first started going worng for me but it did put me in a psych ward for 2 months back in 2013, my brain injury was caused with normal weed in 2016 it caused an addiction to listening to music with headphones on which resulted in both ears getting tinnitus and a brain injury

 

[rosenrot]

i would have told myself to appreciate the friends i had whilst i was young and keep in contact with them

 

[wristcutangel]

there's too many to list out.

You went through so much… Its terrible how your parents won't let you ctb, its very cruel..

 

[sserafim]

There's a lot of things I would change, but the main one is that I would've chosen a different major

I would have chosen not to go to university.

Why?

 

[hermestrimegistus]

Telling the truth. Hurting people. Not going through with CTB 12 years ago. A lot of things

 

[annointed_towers]

Taking a full ride to Harvard instead of a Fulbright to Kyrgyzstan. I met the man who ruined my life at Harvard.

 

[Duality]

Tough question! If I can't change my birth or the circumstances before that point, then I'd have to say that I'd want to change the circumstances of my first serious CTB attempt. I'd have tweaked it just slightly so that it would have actually been successful.

 

[StalkedByDeath]

I would have worked harder to be a better husband sooner, and to get over my chronic worrying...
