Venting I'm a terrible friend. What is something you regret?

[ph4zzzy]

Every time I have a bad day, I can't help but scream at someone for it. My friends/family have their own issues yet I still manage to make my shit their problem.
None of them deserve to hear me lash out at them for such little mistakes, it almost feels manipulative because I'll do it just because I have nothing going on in my life. If I had any idea how to properly ask for reassurance, maybe my loved ones wouldn't have to suffer by listening to me talk shit about them all the time.

 

[ZeroSuitDoomgirl]

I get how you feel, I think I'm a pretty bad friend too. I'm generally way too clingy and I can't provide much in return for friendship

 

[WorthlessTrash]

Being so cringe that no one wants to bother with me anymore.

 

[Lok1_/./]

I regret trusting so many people with my issues, nobody ever really has paid much attention which always hurts. I just feel like
a burden to everyone, abandoned and ignored by those who I thought would be able to help.

 

[hungry_ghost]

If I had any idea how to properly ask for reassurance

Maybe you do have an idea.

You've already acknowledged that you've been going about it the wrong way, that shows you can choose to change that.

As for my regrets? Hell. I regret the past fucking 20 years.

I regret hurting the wrong people, and not hurting the right ones.

 

[EfiLoneVolon]

I regret not having accept myself younger.
And seeking help about my mental problem.
I messed up my life for nuthing.
So many years wasted...

 

[Majestatea Masiva]

Talking too much. Nobody likes a person that is friendly and talks a lot and gets involved in their friend's lives

 

[eleanora]

I regret cutting contact with my online friends. I did it, because I thought it will be better for them and for me. I didn't leave them with detailed explanation as why I chose to isolate myself. I just thought that I'm doing them a favor, because ever since I got diagnosed with depression I really became unbearable to talk to. Now I really miss them, especially my best friend that I used to talk to every single day, but I feel unable to contact any of them ever again.

 

[Sammie_com.sanrio]

I also feel terrible the last time I tried to CTB and I said goodbye my friend ignored me and came back yet I feel terrible staying alive is being like a burden to myself and other

 

[bleakhouse]

I've used and betrayed lots of people, including my oldest and best friend. I stole his boyfriend and threw him out of the house. just horrible, callous shit. im not a good person

 

[man_in_red:)]

That's a very long list but at the same time I regret nothing.

 

[RichardFirst]

I regret not appreciating what I had, not taking advantage of the many opportunities that life offered me and never settling on a decision. I was blessed in many ways, but I succeeded to throw it all away in just a few years

 

[emptymiku]

i also regret being a terrible friend. now i no longer have friends

 

[nosoul]

I regret being a bad son to my parents, especially as I look towards ctb,I feel bad leaving my dogs as we have spent so much time together because I was unemployed.

Even though I was diagnosed with bipolar, I feel it was my fault getting sick because of my actions drug use, the drug use was my attempt at healing but now I've destroyed myself.

My family will always talk about how I ruined everything, I did not do what an immigrant son should have done.

But I can't take this, I want out feel so stuck

 

[Kundalini Guy]

Not taking advantage of my talents.

 

[catastrophix]

A lot of people tell me that this isn't a big deal, but I regret treating my old friends the way that I did. I was severely mentally ill without treatment at the time, along with being a young teenager, so I was rather clingy and dependent on them. I have since apologized to them, but I still feel so incredibly guilty about it.

I also regret dating men in the past. I was trying to hide my true identity as a lesbian, and I ended up being mistreated by most of my boyfriends in the process.

 

[MATZsemantics]

I'm obsessed with regret, really. The constant relitigation of every shitty thing I've ever done or said drives me insane, and is probably the biggest reason I'm even suicidal nowadays.
I regret my entire teenage years, which I spent shuttling between different personas in almost total disconnection from myself and reality, so much that I could not really grow as a person and am solving a lot of problems of adolescence later on. (Funny how trauma made me "mature" in some ways but extremely immature in others). I regret spending so much time just making and listening to music alone instead of genuinely developing as a person. I regret ever saying anything mean to another person. I regret every stupid joke I've made without thinking about someone else and how they might interpret it.
More importantly, I regret pushing away the one person who saw potential or love in me because I was too ungrateful and didn't know how hard it is to find real love in the world. I regret being so insecure and acting disingenuously because of my own crippling, bottomless insecurities. I regret my own cynicism.
And when I die I suppose I regret that the skills and knowledge people around me know or appreciate me for was wasted on such a frivolous, useless person such as myself.

 

[SilentSadness]

I don't think I regret anything, after all I've done nothing wrong in life. I'm simply a victim of this horrific and selfish society, as we all are. Regret changes nothing anyway and the only sensible option for me is to keep looking for a way out of this mess. I can't blame myself for the mistakes of others.

 

[FuneralCry]

Existing in the first place, but I guess that after all I never chose to be here.

 

[killingtime]

I don't know my regrets anymore, my brain is fried by now I guess. At one point I might have regretted things like "not doing what I wanted to do" or "being too impulsive", but I can't seem to care anymore. Friends, family, money, school, work, everything lost its meaning. I might have lost all my regrets when I got comfortable with death.

If it was possible, my only regret would be "being born", but that's not a regret, that's a wish.

 

[leavingsoon99]

Spending 12 years of my life with a condescending bitch of a woman who had no intention of commitment nor love.

 

[YEAR2050]

i often regret what i say to people. i think its kind of impressive how good i am at making people distance themselves from me

 

[DonTellMeToStayAlive]

People have been kind to me. I have been unable to pay the favour back

 

[leavingsoon99]

i often regret what i say to people. i think its kind of impressive how good i am at making people distance themselves from me

I feel this so much.

 

[Lxions]

i regret getting addicted to opioids.

and i regret talking so much, it feels like it's a chore to have to listen to me speak. i burden the ones around me with meaningless thoughts and conversations.

 

[Covalite]

I regret moving in with a roommate. If i hadn't done that my life would be some much better now. I wouldn't have had the trama which has lead to my anxiety.

 

[leap_from_life]

Hey, I feel you so much... I regret that I don't have parents, that I was doing drugs for few years, that I ruined my loved ones by my mental illness

 

[Naro]

Idk if im like exploitable or something but that happens to me alot and tbh my friends hold more weight in my life than I do and if it makes them feel better I just sit there and listen

 

[starrvingstar]

im a bad friend, i barely make efforts to be a good one or keep up with stabilizing my connections with people.

 

[𖣴 nadia 𖣴]

Not relocating and moving in with my bf because I was still in uni/not getting away from home and remorseless narcissistic parents sooner.
