If you could go back in time and prevent 1 mistake from ruining your life which would it be ?

[Mooseanonsky]

Go back 11 years ago and go to college and get an English literature degree. Get better at writing. I dropped out of community college twice—I just wasn't interested in animation or cyber security. Adhd probably contributed to that, but I got diagnosed waay later in life with that.

Too many mistakes to be fair.

I would have begged to stay with my mother more. I am a girl and I needed my mother in my life, but instead, I agreed to stay with Dad it is eating me up inside every single day...now that she's gone, I feel so bad when I remember her crying and asking me why I didn't stay with her...it really hurts, I wished I had stayed with her, to the end of her life

hmmm id say i wish i could go back to my childhood and surround myself with different individuals. i was best friends with this girl that lived in my neighborhood at the time and she basically exposed me to porn at the ripe age of nine. since then, ive struggled with OCD involving extreme sexual intrusive thoughts. its completely ruined my life and mental well-being and is also one of the reasons i have this account.

i would go back to those years where my dad treat me like trash for not knowing how to do the school chores or having bad grades and just focus on school. That was the start of my end. I would stop myself for beeing on the internet all day and just do something with my life. I now have this fucking pain issues when im fucking sitting, i cant even do internet without feeling like shit, i cant even shit properly becouse i dont know what happend to my body, this is driving me insane.

I would either start my previous relationship differently or choose to not meet him at all. Up until now I don't know if he was so cruel all because of me or because he is indeed a liar and cheater by nature. I wonder if I was softer, kinder, more loving he would have not done what he did. I guess I'll never know tho

I wish i didn't take this job

 

[astr4]

would have idk. probably the biggest one was dating someone in first year university. when i got dumped i tried to kill myself, took a year off from school, but felt like too much of a failure to ever really succeed again. (it was a small program so everyone knew everyone, all the first years that started in the year i took off knew each other, and i was just a random new person that suddenly appeared, all my old peers were suddenly in different classes than me. i just never recovered from that i think. my self esteem has been chronically low all my life, but i think if i at least got a degree i could be doing a meaningful job and maybe wouldn't feel so… idk. so awful about myself. like maybe the external validation is something i actually really need in order to function… so yeah if i never dated that guy i would have finished my degree probably. maybe i would have done a teaching degree after that or something idk.

There's not that one mistake that ruined my life. It's a sequence of too many small mistakes that ultimately led to the situation I'm in now.
