same for me... and i always regret the things i do or say.. mostly 'cause i always do or say something stupid :mad:
 
Thing that I regret well one of them is the fact that I lied to myself trying to say that I reget nothing, but that was last year, now I think about some of the things that I did in middle school when I decided that everyone was stupid and wasnt worthy to be my friend. I just cut everyone out of my life exept my brother, sometimes I wonder how popular I would be right now if I had stayed with my crew?? but than again it seems like everyone is out to get you in some why or another. I've had enough experiances where people tried to use me for a car, place to hang out, or what ever. It seems that good friends are hard to come-by.

I also have a girl that I wish I would have gotten to know better but like everyone else she just seems to think of me as a friend no different than anyone else :cry: . Well now that I think about it there are more than one girl that I should have gotten to know better :cry: well don't feel sorry for me because all in all I've had a pretty good life.

I had a job offering in New Orleans paying like $60,000/yr. starting out and I decided to come over here to Germany and see europe, so I have to wonder… was it really worth it? I mean I could have taken vacation over here but than I wouldn't know anyone over here that I do now. But New Orleans is like the party capital of america, but I'm not really into partying *surprise*

Well I'm sure you really didn't want to read my sob story so that was my 2 cents worth hope you enjoyed it (if you read it) if not who cares ect…
 
There's one thing.. I was driving carelessly some day (about 8 months ago) and got involved in a car crash. There were 3 cars in front of me (well.. each one in front of the other..) and I fucked up all 3 of them :) I was a new driver.. my parents trusted me.. oh well.. I dissapointed everyone of us that day.. that hurt..
 
We all regret things, but I don't think anyone is able to actually completely change one thing about their life.
There have been some things I have done within a certain situation that I somewhat regret, but would NEVER change. Because of them I am not stronger than I ever thought I could be.
 
A couple of years ago, I had this particularly close friendship with a girl. We went to different colleges, but still kept in close contact. One night when we were both home, I took her to the beach, we both wanted to sleep together but I decided not to for some reason. I can't figure out why I made this decision even now because I have been with girls I did not like nearly as much as this one and who weren't as attractive. But we communicate rarely now and I wish I had that memory of being with her because I can never get it back. I am not negating the friendship we did have but that would have been good. It's one of those "life" things.
 
Well I wouldn't take anything back either. We all know it's a fact that you wouldn't be the same person if you changed a decision.

The difference is that the ones who wouldn't take anything back are the ones who like who they are. Some say it to make excuses, and they really do have regrets, hey just pretend they dont exist.
 
As it seems, the common concluson here is that most regret things that they have either done or haven't done, and I have to agree. Of course I am regretful, but I do not desire to change anything about the path that I have taken in my life. Who knows where I would be right now had I decided against making Amanda cry because her bike wasn't made by Huffy. What if I had gone to the "smart" class when I was little, instead of staying with my friends? Would I still be stuck here in this podunk little town, itching to get out? Maybe so. Who knows. As a whole, I am happy with my life. (Had you asked me this question 3 1/2 months ago... well, you would have recieved an extremely different answer! :D )
 
no remorse - no regret. it's just no good. look up my reasons in the "fate" thread if you must
 
Belial: I've made so many mistakes in my life that I can't single any of them out, and I won't even try.

astarte: same for me... and i always regret the things i do or say.. mostly 'cause i always do or say something stupid. :mad:

Come on now! I was listening to someone ranting the other day about something interesting. The gist of it was, if you honestly believe that (in your case, astarte) that everything you do or say is stupid, then it will be! Don't think like.........TRY not to think like that. Confidence is so scarce in people of today...myself included, at times. The more confidence you have in yourself, the less stress you get back from life. Instead of thinking THIS is what everyone thinks of me, think of how YOU feel about what you're doing and saying. If it's good with you, just you, then...you win. Some people can see that in others and it's a respectful quality.

I regret not giving some guy a chance once and throwing my bunny on the floor another time and I regret smashing up my car. I regret not spending more time with people who have died in the past and blah blah blah...the thing with regret is, can you get over it? If not, how do you get over it and move on.

"This is forgiveness, so I know.
Once I repent I seal the lid.
I slither for you and I´m dying.
I find trust in hate."
 
... if I could have done it all over again, I never, ever would have went to college. I ended up leaving in a year in a half (and no regrets about leaving at ALL) and I'm STILL paying for it...
