We have all done things we regret or have chosen not to do something which also ends in regret. So tell me IIN, what's your biggest regret in life an is it normal that I want to know?
I'm reaching near a half century. There's no way I could possibly list all of my regrets.
I regret the fact that I didn't never made it clear to my ex that she meant the world to me. We dated for 7 years until 3 months ago. I lost the most important thing in my world. Then again, she is the one that left me for someone else, and nothing I did was deserving of that. I was a pretty damn good boyfriend, I just had my flaws. Still though, easily my biggest regret.
I have never regreted anything I have done on purpose because anything I have done deliberately I wouldn't have done if I would have had regrets.
I have made mistakes though I would go back and change.
My biggest regrets are two occasions that were similar accidents.
One was I was taking care of my cats kittens and I accidently killed one by closing the closet door, smashing the cat, without looking.
The other time was a similar insistent where I accidently shut the door on mama cat when I left for a few days and she couldn't feed the one kitten she had and it died.
I would never regret something that I did on purpose but I love my cats more than I do most people and did feel bad about not taking care of their kittens properly.
I think guilt is often bullshit if you did it on purpose, but it makes sense to regret mistakes.
I think... you should like... remove all the doors in your house... or something...
I would like to add that when people claim they feel bad about things they did deliberately, they are full of shit because if they really feel regret, they wouldn't have purposely done it.
As a kid I caused a lot of problems. I went around smashing windows and setting fires and caused all types of damage. I really do not regret any of it, because even though I wouldn't do it now, I made a conscious choice to do those things. Conscious choices are never mistakes regardless of your age or mental state.
I do feel regret about the mistakes I mentioned, because it wasn't intended, but anybody who claims regret on something they purposely did is full of shit or else they would not have chosen to do what they did.
you need to own up to your own deliberate actions.
dated a guy which i knew wasn't nice and treated me like crap but i dint care intel i got cheated on -.- but now i have a amassing bf witch i love a lot and he also got cheated on so we understand each other and trust each others :)))
Biggest regret? Probably burning down this semi-mansion before I moved, which me and my friend planned to do...Sadly I was told we are moving way soonr thaan intended, which was the day after I was told.
Sucked. One day, though.
My biggest regrets are all centred around my relationship with a very dear friend of mind that I love.
- A few years back, I went over to Europe and was supposed to meet (find) my friend, who lived there. Some things happened with the people I was traveling with which, unfortunately, prevented me from seeing my friend. I still beat myself up to this day about it.
- Not wanting to admit my feelings for my friend for years. I feel like I wasted so much precious time between us. It kills me.
There's some other stuff that is too personal to say. Basically, its about me being an idiot who couldn't put two and two together. More time wasted with my in denial idiocy!
I have two regrets that I would consider to be my biggest.
The first is going to a university. I wasted a lot of money that wasn't mine, I dropped out, I shouldn't have went there in the first place. Sometimes I think how my life would be different if I had the balls to tell my family that I didn't want to go to college. Or, heck, even if I just went for a trade school instead.
The second is faking bad eyesight when I was child. Everyone else in my family wore glasses and I wanted to be like them so I pretended to have much worse eyesight than I really did during eye exams. I got the glasses I wanted, eventually realizing that glasses suck. I know that if everyone in my family has glasses, I probably would have ended up wearing them eventually. However I could have at least saved a few years and my eyes wouldn't be quite as bad as they are today.
Hmm ... I'm conflict. I want to see the year I spend with my most recent ex as a failure and a regret because of the way he dumped me and how he had known since day one that it wouldn't work out.
But at the same time that's really fucking depressing to think of a whole year as a waste.
I regret that I have never been able to attract women. Nothing has ever worked. It is too late.
