Discussion Your biggest mistake in life?

[Anthagonos]

What's yours?

 

[TotallyIsolated]

Treating a very dear, close friend as if she were a therapist. She encouraged me to share at first. I worried about it, but she said it was ok - that if I was leaning on her too much that she would say something. Then one day she snapped and couldn't take it any more. She said our friendship was making her unhappy and that she didn't want to see me any more. :(

Not jumping from 14th floor when I had an opportunity to do it.

She wasn't very reliable friend as it turns out. You shouldn't regret it. True friends can understand you even in suicidal thoughts even if they aren't suicidal themselves. I hope you can find better person who wouldn't leave you because you are unhappy

I always wanted freedom from wage slavery... If I knew earlier that I would not be able to survive quitting my job, and that I need to accept wage slavery as it is, I could have been happier now at this moment and take care of my parents and my wife and my daughter.. I wouldn't have been selfish to look for freedom and getting more time to spend with family

I regret hurting people in the past who really didn't deserve it :(

 

[clocktower]

believing things could get better.

 

[VIBRITANNIA]

hurting others because i was hurting on the inside.

 

[foxdie]

I am a mistake. I regret I was not aborted. My biggest mistake where I actually had agency would most likely be continuing on thinking things would get better

 

[LonelyNick]

Giving my ex so many chances

 

[Bauhaus]

Not killing myself sooner

Waiting too long while your health deteriorates diminishes the number of ctb methods greatly.

Being the fastest sperm cell, the one time I win at something

 

[softfuzzyman]

like others are saying, failing previous attempts. It's just downhill from there.

 

[Superdeterminist]

My biggest mistake was ever feeling guilty about wanting to quit this wretched reality.

This is so close to my situation, it's almost as if the words came out of my mouth. Only difference is that person didn't just abandon me, but turned on me and ruined my life. I never knew how to hate before this, but now I know that I hate him.

 

[GoneGoneGone]

Listening to my parents' antiquated view of life instead of following my instinct.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

The full story is kinda long but basically this girl who approached me and gave me her number actually told me after a week into having frequent text conversations that she was sorry if it seemed like she was leading me on and that she just wanted my friendship because she had just gone through a bad relationship with someone else. I foolishly said that I never felt anything romantic for her because I could tell she was feeling really guilty and was okay with us being friends even though later I started really developing feelings for her. My other main regret is that I was too late to rectify this lie before it was too late and she ended up going out with someone else. She even later told me that if I had initiated a relationship at some point after my initial lie then she would have reciprocated and we'd probably still be together today and I'd probably actually be kind of happy...
