An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
What do you regret about life? For me, my biggest regret is probably going to a college I hated and not leaving when I had the chance. But there's plenty of other things I regret, like never putting myself out there, never putting effort into my appearance, spending too much time online and isolating myself, etc. You never get back those wasted years.

Listening to my parents about going to college, not having sex until marriage, staying away from "bad people", and being "careful" my entire life. I am 40 and I have barely done anything with my life and I ended up in a career I hate.
Believing anything that came out of my partner's mouth. I should have dropped him like the hot garbage he is 10 years ago. Now I am so worn down emotionally that I just do not see a point in living anymore.

So much, jeez I wish I was stronger when I was young, I wish I had known better. Maybe I would be less fucked today if I had. I also wish I had gone to my mother or one of my teachers when I was 13 and got abused, I never did and never told anyone and now I feel like I just cant

I regret getting in the stock market. Literally destroyed every atom of my entire life. Like setting off an explosive device at a key support structure of a building. Controlled demolition.

I already told this before but when I finally meet someone great, single... with values, liked to study, to work... i discovered that she had not already one boyfriend, but many.... basically she was sleeping with a different man every week, I was in my late 30's.
I tried to forget her, I meet a lot (I mean a lot!!! really) of woman, beautiful, inteligent... but didnt feel love for anyone else. I tried hard... well... maybe I couldnt control my heart.

I regret existing at all, I'll always regret ever suffering in this existence and the fact that this existence was even imposed is the most terrible tragedy to me, nothing no matter what would make me wish to suffer in this existence that I always saw as a mistake rather more than anything I wish I never existed, I see existence as the most cruel, futile burden that just causes suffering all for the sake of it and problems there was never a need for at all, it's all just so dreadful to me and deeply undesirable.
I'd always prefer to not exist than suffer so unnecessarily in this horrific world where suffering is seen as to force and prolong no matter what but only never existing is true perfection to me, nothing would make me wish to be conscious in this existence rather I only hope to never suffer ever again, I suffer so much from being enslaved in this existence without the option to simply cease existing in peace, never existing at all would had saved me from so much suffering.

I regret being such a coward most of the time; I wish I was brave enough to go there, do that, say that but I'm simply not and I don't think I'll ever be.
I don't think I have a regret as of now, my personality just sucks and I can't fit anywhere, I don't feel like blaming myself for the way I was made. Rather, I'd feel regret to just be coming to this world solely to suffer, that's the one thing I'm regretting maybe
I had it all figured out, my ptsd demanded attention without intamacy,so i searched the attention elsewhere, while leaving my wife in a dead bedroom due to my former abuse.
She left me and is the only thing that ever mattered to me. My regret would be impossible to change, as in just man up and stop being a bitch. But it doesn't work that way. I miss her.

i really want us to go away from this world, but i equally hope you have better peace, as i want to still exist. just not here, and i've seen your other response before, and i definitely agree and truly wish you and i well as we part this world... just wished it made it much easier to do :<
I regret being a coward. I could have tried to transition back at 14, but I allowed myself to crawl back into the closet. I could have had a normal life and gone to school, but I was scared so I didn't. I could have posted the stories I wrote before AI began to kill that idea, but I didn't. Most of my issues in life are caused by my pathetic self.

I wasn't there for people at the end of their lives when they had done so much for me. So- being selfish basically.
I haven't always made the best decisions career wise in life. Maybe also that I made that pretty much my only priority. But, I'm better at forgiving those choices. I did the best I could in that moment. That's enough for me. We don't have the benefit of a crystal ball to help us out. We just have to try and make the best choice in that moment. We're bound to screw up sometimes!

I regret very similar things - I also chose to go to a college I hate, where I know no-one and have no friends, and left everything I'd built behind. I regret trying to be confident and open about myself, since that just led to people hating me because I wasn't the same as them, and after that I regretted trying to stop being confident, because that just resulted in me being isolated and friendless and no-one even acknowledging my existence.
It's not something I really 'chose' to do, but I regret even realising I was trans. My life would be so much better if I wasn't what I am. Before I realised, I lived in a sort of limbo of ignorant bliss - I felt discomfort because I knew I wasn't being true to myself, but at least I hadn't yet been confronted with the reality of what it's like being trans in an environment that hates my existence.
