You know, they are moments in everyone's lives that they completely regret, and there is a saying "There is no such thing in someone having a perfect life". As for me, they have been numerous of times that I wish I can go back in time and tell myself to do different things to make my whole life much different, and a extreme fraction of it reflects my online activity such as here, DeviantArt, and a bunch of other places, but 99% of the time all reflects real life, like there were things I wish I haven't done and would of done but never did, basically missed opportunities after opportunities. Have there been moments in your life that you wish go different. It doesn't have to be personal.

There are a lot of things that I'm sorry happened or that I wish I had the chance to apologize for, but nothing that I can really say I wish I hadn't done. Our collections of experience make up a good part of who we are and, regardless of what it was, there was something taken away from it. Everyone does what they can to the best of their ability with what they know and we can't learn without making mistakes. |

Yes and no.
There are moments that I certainly wish had gone better. It would be silly to say otherwise. I can't say I regret them, though, because the actions that led to each result were genuine, and what I wanted to do or say, deep down. I don't regret my actions, or even the events that happened following said actions, I only regret that others reacted poorly. And that's not something I can control, so no, I don't really regret anything. There are moments that I certainly wish had gone better. It would be silly to say otherwise.

Just like leggy said, yes and no. Once time has passed it's easy to reflect in what we've done and see if we could have chosen better, but at the time it was everything we could do. Besides, we never know how we will react to certain situations until said situations actually occur, no matter how much we prepare for them we will never predict the full outcome and we cannot predict how our body will react. I do regret my lack of social skills. I'm not someone to make many friends, but most of the ones I made are now lost because I didn't keep in touch. Either they had to leave and we never asked each other how can we stay in contact or we were simply separated because our paths differed, but still I regret not keeping in touch with them. It makes me feel lonely when I think about "how will X be doing right now, it's been so long", but I know I have my own path to follow and that my past is filled with more grief than happy moments, so I just live today making sure I don't lose any other friendship like this. Other than that, I guess that the choices I made, whether they were good or bad, have made me as I am right now. I could regret that I'm not on the spot I wanted due to bad choices, but at the time it was the best choice I could make with the knowledge I had. I could regret not having reacted in time, but it has given me a valuable lesson that can fuel my motivation to strive forward carrying on with the consequences. I could regret many things, but that would mean throwing away what I've learned from them.

There are many things that I regret doing in my life. There are many embarrassing moments that have happened to me, and I wish they had gone better. I'm not the type of person who easily included himself in society: It took me a bit of a while to adapt with most people around me (i'm not talking about my close friends, i'm talking about mostly people in general). We always have this feeling that we wish we had a time machine to go back in time (wish I had the Ocarina of Time!), but you know when you think about it, if it weren't for those mistakes you would not have improved. Thanks to all the experiences that I went through, whether they were positive or negative (or even negative), I became the person I am today. So, technically, I regret and don't regret at the same time. There are many things that I regret doing in my life.

Well, my father passed when I was rather young, yet young enough to spend more time with him than I ended up doing. No. 1 regret would be not bonding enough with him. He developed a similar habit with his parents as they were divorcing, so it seems as if history repeat itself. Now, I cherish moments with family and never hold back what I want to do or say with 'em. |

A few years ago my answer would have been yes, but now I have to say No. as I think about the things like making decisions, losing friends for "dumb" reasons or those times where I think about the friends that some how left from my life, relationships, etc. its just part of life, learn from our mistakes and learn from them, then move on with our lives, which makes us wiser. Having regrets is stupid and a waste of time.

There was this one time i swear in my soul i REALLY regreted back in high school, is that during my class in the gym, i really can't remember all of my high school past, is that there was a boy who didn't like me but just got on my nerves, he started to kick basketballs at me because he was angry for some reason and i don't know why, i got angry and i kicked the balls back at him, he and i were going at it, the anger was building up inside me and we both started to kick the balls harder and during the ball kicking i accidentally hit another boy in the face with a basketball, i was crying so hard because i let my anger took over myself and i ended up hurting another boy because of my temper, i was almost expelled because of what i did years ago, Now its only a scar in my heart, but i've learned to control my anger and not vent it out on anything or anybody, i hope all of you learn to control yourselves and don't let anger take over your mind, if a person bothers or bullies you just walk away, if they don't stop, get help Honestly, I Should've just walked away back then Honestly, I Should've just walked away back then |

Yeah, there are things I've done that definitely could have gone better. Do I regret them? Maybe a little. Would I change them if I could? Probably not.
We all make mistakes, we all learn from said mistakes (or at least you should). It's how we grow and learn. I wouldn't give up that experience for anything We all make mistakes, we all learn from said mistakes (or at least you should). It's how we grow and learn.

I've had My share of regrettable moments like the time I've stole $2 from a Table at Friendly's and My server threatened to call the Police if I did that again,and that I truly regret because I wasn't mature enough to know right from wrong, but the moment I totally regret to this day is when I went off on My school principle's secretary because I thought that She was losing interest in Me by stopping Her as she was driving off the School premises, I was no different than a jealous lover and that's when She turned into an ice Princess by treating Me like nothing, that moment was the worst experience I've ever went through,Real Talk! |

I think there are things people regret doing. I know I've got some of them.
The tough thing is what could you change about your past without changing something that fundamentally changed your life? Would a big change to your past make a big change to who you would have become? I honestly think my biggest regrets aren't so much the big things but the little things. I wish I had been friendlier growing up. I wish I had cared more about people and less about who I was friends with. That doesn't sound like it makes a lot of sense but I cared too much about how I was perceived rather than just being a good person. Still, I think to look back at your past too much and wish to change things is futile. You can't undo what happened. You can only learn from it and hopefully be forgiven by the people you hurt. And sometimes yo can't even manage that. The tough thing is what could you change about your past without changing something that fundamentally changed your life?

All the time, and it even sometimes comes back to haunt me to this day. I have done so much 2017 and back that I heavily regret, both on this site, in real life, and anywhere else on the internet. Over time, I have slowly gotten better at fully taking control of myself, and I'm happy to say I feel like I'm almost a completely different person compared to 2017. Perhaps it was just a maturity thing and had to do with my age? |

Now that I know all this about myself, I feel like there were a lot of opportunities I passed up in the past for friendships and even relationships. That probably explains why I've turned out to be such a loser. Here I am 35 and still at home with my parents who care less about me instead of having a family of my own and married to a good looking, nice, charming, young woman with beautiful kids of my own. I know I shouldn't be giving any advice, but I can say don't be afraid to take advantage of good things when they come your way. If only I had done this whenever I was 25 or even 30, I wouldn't be where I am today. I don't hate my life, but I don't feel like I have as many of those same opportunities now with people. I may never get them again. I had the opportunities to be friends with people who could have helped me get good jobs. I also had the opportunities at having good relationships with women, but I let my own issues with self pity and confidence get in the way. I let my dad (and other people) in my life keep me from seeing how strong of a person I really was, and that I had the power (and still do) to make a difference in other people's lives as well as my own. I could've been more of a man than I was because I look back on that person and laugh! In closing, I wish that I could go back and take advantage of those opportunities I had at making real friendships and real relationships by getting to know those people instead of focusing so much on my own problems with: confidence, depression, etc. I'd be in a better place financially, mentally, and emotionally if I had quit being so miserable. All I can do now is move forward and not make these same mistakes again, but that's hard to do when things stress me out with my family, finances/expenses and everything else I have to deal with now.

Hard to answer.
I don't regret most things. A lot of what has happened to me, whether my fault or not, has shaped me into who I am today. And I'm okay with that. But I guess there's a couple things that I do regret, but they're all pretty insignificant and wouldn't have made much of a difference anyway. So I can't really say I completely regret anything, but there's several things I do wish I could do over for convenience's sake. I don't regret most things.

I'm not sure that would go back to fix anything, simply because I like where I am now, and my past life is how I got here.
However there are things that I wish I had done better. I should not have dated my abusive high school boyfriend, nor stayed with him on and off for six years. Also I wish I could have saved my alcoholic mother from herself. I wish I would have worker harder and made more money to try and keep us afloat. I know that she had twice the life-experience as me, but I was still so sure I could fix it. Anyway I know there's nothing I can do now but, she was my best friend and I wish I could have helped her save her own life. However there are things that I wish I had done better.

Norriegirl93 : That sounds so rough. It feels like it deserves a thread of its own.
My father died of heart disease because nobody could get him to live healthily. I feel like I'm going down the same road because of the way he raised me. As for the topic of this thread. I wish I'd paid more attention to school and less attention to dating. My father died of heart disease because nobody could get him to live healthily.
