Discussion What do you regret?

[Bruce]

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.

I went to a college which I didn't like, I quit, it didn't seem to make much of a difference. Then I went to a second college which I didn't like, I finished, it seemed to make some difference. And then I went to a college which I did like, I finished, it seemed to make a good difference. I put myself out there. .. In the end though nothing really made a difference. I'm not saying that it wouldn't have worked out for you just that .. sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. Don't beat yourself up for what it could have been! You did what you thought was the best with what you had and that's really the best you can do. Not just you, but EVERYONE in this discussion. None of you should really beat yourselves up! It's not you, it's the world!

I regret closing my heart to love.

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.

Mate I .. I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I know how hard is to stop caring. No, not hard but impossible.

As for me, I don't really regret much. I look back and I can't see how different choices would have led to different, better results.

I regret not having been happy and enjoy life as other around me were doing but it isn't my fault.

I regret going into any relationship cus that just made me desire closeness and human connection more.

I regret everything bad I have done as that has just increased my feelings of guilt and self-hatred.

I regret about wanting to develop games I want to make as it makes me want to continue life when I know death is the more logical decision.

Feel this, I made peace with dying alone and then got close to someone. Tricked myself into thinking what I made peace with wasn't true anymore and now back to making peace with it.

One stupid mistake. Making me lose the one person I ever loved. Realising all of this too late, what matters and what doesn't matter.
