I'm sure many of you guys have at least one regret in your whole life. My one regret is not participating in art when I was younger. I used to not be interested in it at all, but now I love it. Sadly, my art is quite lackluster and terrible.

So, do you have a regret? Was your regret something important that changed your life, or just a minor setback?

My biggest regret (because there are a few): It was during grad. week for H.S. and I was out to lunch with my friends. My family left to see my grandpa before I got home, and I was scared to drive the freeway to meet them, and they wouldn't turn around b/c they thought I shouldn't go (I had my senior trip to disneyland that night). I drove myself to school for the bus and went on the trip (my parents were still gone) and I got home the next morning. My grandpa died that morning, about an hour after I got home- and I wish I'd ditched that stupid night so I could have seen him one more time.

I'll probably never get over it ><

My regret is that I switched out of academic math in gr 10, and now I have to take it in Summer school D:

My biggest regret was being too late when I should have been there to begin with. I could have stopped her before she could do something.

Biggest regret would have to be dropping out of university. Mom wasn't joking when she said it's really hard to get back in once you give up. :sweat:

My biggest regret was my last roommate. I was too lenient with her with money. She owed me two months rent plus utilities for about 6 months. When I got annoyed and asked her to pay, she gave me the money, but then refused to pay her last month's rent, or to get her stuff out of the place, or to return her keys and get her name off the rent. I got stuck paying that month and it's utilities, which was a total of around 10000. I did take her to court, she promised to pay in court, then posted on the internet that she "never said what year she'd pay". I think, looking back on things, if I had not been so lenient with that missed months rent, maybe things would have been better. She used me for money, quite a bit...I often paid for us to eat...and I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have let her walk on me and use me. She of course turned all our friends against me...Which is probably okay in the end...But I regret all the drama, and letting her treat me so poorly and of course I regret the lost money! I could try to take her to court again, but I don't feel I'll ever see that money, and I am sick of the drama.

Tsubasa: Awww I'm sorry. But things like that are unpredictable. It's not your fault.

Daria: Wow, that's terrible. What a great friend she was. Even though you did lose a lot of money, I'm glad you were mature enough to step away from the situation and not to hold a grudge against her.

One regret... It hasn't affected my life much at all, but... When I was 16-18, I was in this on-off relationship with a guy over the internet. So now, like my brother's friends and other people ask me if I've got an online boyfriend all the time. It's annoying. It took me a while to realize I'm not good at online stuff. It was mostly just a waste of time.

Honestly, I don't regret anything I've done. I've learned from all of my bad experiences, and any trivial things like learning something I have an entire life ahead of me to learn them.

I don't regret things in life, I just consider them something I'll never be able to change no matter how hard I think about it or try to.
We all learn from the things we do in life.

Yes, I agree with your philosophy.
I believe we only make mistakes, and learn from them.
And hopefully educate others on how to avoid them, so they could compose a better life than we have had.

I regret not pursuing violin. When I was younger I took classes but gave up on it. Now I wish I hadn't.

I have alot of regrets. Sometimes I wish my mom had brought her whole family in the USA before we moved.. even though it wasnt possible so that my mom doesnt have to be so damn depressed all the time. Sometimes I wish she hadnt broken up with her old boyfriend so I dont have to listen to her fighting with her new one all the time.

HAHA oooohhh no, don't get me wrong, I hold one hell of a grudge against her! I hope that Karma comes back and bites her in the ass, and since that ass is a size 24, it should be a very easy target.

But, I chose to let the money go...I guess the cost of getting that girl out of my life was 1000.00. It some ways, it was worth every penny. I have a friend who works with her (at the job I got her so she could pay rent/etc.). My friend says she's maturing....I highly doubt it, and I'll believe it when I see my money...Which I never will.

For some reason she felt it was her right to take my money. To this day it makes me hopping mad. I regret letting her take advantage of me for time we lived together...but I do NOT regret suing her ass. I scared the shit out of her...Hopefully she'll take her debts and bills a little more seriously from now on. But again I doubt that highly.

Incidentally, her bill collectors called my house for MONTHS after she moved out. I gave them the only number I had for her. Her work phone! Evil I know...but she left no forwarding address, or telephone number. So what's a girl to do?

one i did recently, biggest one i can think of.. i started to like this guy named mike, kuz of it my boyfriend broke up, that day (valentines day) he rejected me... so i was left alone... i loved no, still love kiza so much, more than anything, i couldn't see or speak to him for a long time, mike asked me out after going out with my best friend i was an idiot and said ok, i really didn't want to.... and i wish i didn't, few weeks latter i FINALLY got to see kiza again, i found out he also had someone new....

it hurt alot... but i found out, he still loves me, and alot, he kept clinging to me and kissing me and things, even though we both had someone, i could of cared less.... at that moment everything just disappeared and i only saw him, i was so happy i cried and i cried for over an hour, but now recently i felt like he only did that to make me happy... I'm so confused... he says hes really in love with the other girl yet says hes still madly in love with me and we BOTH agreed, we felt closer then we had before we broke up, and more in love, i would of seriously broken up with mike that INSTANT if he asked me to go back out with him... now when ever i see him it hurts, he stills ays he loves me kisses hugs etc. but I'm not sure if hes doing it kuz he really loves me still or just to make me feel better to get me off his back...

i duno if anyone read all that and its ok if you didn't just talking about it made me feel a little better, but i want an opinion please? i went out with kiza for 3 years and i LOVE him i only like mike only met him barley 6 months ago, to me hes nothing compared to what kiza is to me...

I'd have to say it was screwing around with one of my friends. >_> I'd get into details-- no pun intended-- but this is Menewsha and we have a PG-13 limit.

For me, having an early commitment with my boyfriend... What happened? I get less freedom... all because he wants to "keep me safe"... <_<

Elsa: It's not too late to break up with him, you know. Be happy... Listen to reason, sister.

@Alex: I know, brother... I'm just guilty that he's actually doing all of that just to keep me safe.

@ Elsa: So did Tony Stark's Suit. But then, the suit stopped Tony from seeing his friends and basically blocking out his social life. Then, the suit takes Tony to a deserted island and tortures him.


Sound familiar?

Here's a clue: In the comic!Iron Man fanbase, the sentient suit is commonly called 'Tony's Abusive Boyfriend'.

...For not liking maths when I was small, now I'm not that good :stare:...

i did something bad. I accidently put the dog in the dryer cause he was laying in the basket. I killed him. and i will never forgive myself.

In January of '08 my grandmother died of cancer. I regret not going to see my grandmother a few days before she died. I had seen her a few days earlier, but I couldn't bring myself to stay long. She was sleeping the entire time I was there and probably didn't know I was even there. I had the option to go over to my grandfather's house to see her again (she was on Hospice the entire time), but it was getting late and I was getting tired, so my parents went without me.

I really do regret not seeing her one last time, she lived near by and would care for me if my parents were working when I was little. So, I'd say we were pretty close.
