Hating myself growing up until I was 27 to finally come out and come to terms that I’m gay. I wasted my youth trying to be straight when I could never change who I really was.
Resenting my parents for a good part of my childhood, I’m still a teen but looking back it was completely unjustified and they were just doing what was right for me I love them so much
Loving him and giving myself to him completely to be accused of being a cheat constantly when he was in fact the cheat 🤯 projection is REAL af
I’ll never trust another man as long as I live
Nothing, because everything is a learning curve and my former choices have lead me to where I am now and were the best choices at that time. Don’t think about the ‘what if-s’. Look at what you’ve become and change that whatever you don’t feel good about.
Not spending enough time getting to know myself in my younger years. Things like “what do I genuinely enjoy?” “What brings me joy?” Because I for one reason or another was pushed into things I “need/ should” do.
Going to college straight after highschool (and staying at home). Biggest mistake of my life. Ruined my mental, emotional, physical, and financial health.
Taking for granted that my husband would be alive forever, that we would grow old together. I deeply regret the stupid shit I used to worry about because it took time away from just loving him and enjoying his company. I regret so much 😥

I’m a horrible boyfriend
The real reason I broke up with my gf was to be a hoe I broke up w her to be free so that night I went to the club w an old friend then after i decided to get on tinder and other dating apps and I’ve been lusting over women since. I hung out with 2 girls drank with them made out with one of them and almost had sex with one of them. I hung out with another girl later that day and went to the movies w her and went to go get froyo with her and a week later i invited another girl to my house she spent the night and went had sex then I also made plans w another girl. All this happened in less thann2 weeks and i regret all of it now. Ik this is all my fault she doesn’t want to get back together but it’s not for any of this I lied and told her that I made it all up but that was a lie because everything was true so now she only thinks I went to the bar w my old friend but she doesn’t know anything else. I love her so much and I want to tell her but if I do she’ll never talk to me ever again. I want to cry so bad but there’s no point i caused all of this to happen because I let social media and ppl tell me what to do with my relationship . I regret doing all of this and I miss her so much. And now she’s friends w these guys and I’m pretty sure one of them likes her but she doesn’t know that but she wants to be friends with them cuz she doesn’t like females anymore cuz they’re just fake to her and I can’t even be mad at her cuz for one I caused all of this and two I did so much worse.
Not properly paying attention to my cat as she was nearing death.
I was really ill as a child and missed out on a lot of social activities so I didn’t have any friends. All I had was my cat.
In my mid teens my health improved so I went out all the time to catch up with everything I missed out on.
During that time my fat cat was getting old and became ill. She could control her bladder so had to stay in the kitchen (it had a tiled floor so it was easy to clean) and lost all her weight.
The few times I went to see her she ran up to me like an excited puppy for cuddles and didn’t want me to leave.
She was there for me when I needed her but I wasn’t there for her.
Not breaking up with my partner after he cheated but trying to make it work instead. Took me nearly another 4 years to leave that relationship. Dreadful.
There’s a few things.. trusting before really getting to know someone. Trusting after someone screws you over. Being too nice. Not being more outspoken. Letting someone break your heart only for them to say you meant nothing to them. That really hurts.
Going to my best friend’s wedding. We’ve been friends for about 15 years, but the last 5 years I’ve been living abroad. We talked online a lot since I moved, but the wedding showed exactly how much distance affected us. After that we just got in fights, and I felt more and more distant. Now we don’t talk at all. I still miss her and think about her every day despite everything that happened.
I’m 17 yrs old and my regret in life is andami ko sinayang na opurtunidad. Growing up narealize ko na kaya ko naman pala makipagsabayan sa ibang tao sa school and kaya ko maging top honor and even a leader kaya ko rin sumali ng competitions and activities in club pero lahat yon sinayang ko kasi nahihiya ako and wala akong self confidence and sobrang unfocus talaga ako sa schools academics kaya ngayon nasasayangan ako kasi kaya ko naman pla bat hindi ko pa ginawa and sa mga skills related ko Hindi ko sya nagamit to benefit me lalo na pagdating sa college I was into arts kaso ayun ulit problema wala akong self confidence kaya lahat ng artworks at kaya ko dinededma ko kaya ang hirap magipon ng portfolio ngayon for college and application
In Ireland, you get to choose what subjects you study twice during the equivalent of High School. I got an A in Music in the Junior Cert. I dropped the subject for Leaving Cert, because it required a practical performance, and I was too nervous to sing publicly.
Now I’m involved in high profile music gigs, and always struggling because of my limited musical theory knowledge
Not texting my uncle back last week because I was too busy to say “thanks, love you too”. He died two days ago. You’re never too busy to tell your loved ones you love them, you never know when someone will be gone.
Not telling my high school crush I liked him and never had the chance to date him I still dream about him and for a long time I always wanted to go back in time to all those memories I had just seen him walking at the school.
Not spending enough time with my grandpa when I was younger. Now he has lung cancer and I live in another country, so I cannot see him that often. This is the biggest regret of my life which I will probably never overcome.

Getting impregnated with my ex🥲I swear, it was my biggest regret also a guilt to my life
Falling for the same trap multiple times…
Not transitioning in my teen
Hating myself growing up until I was 27 to finally come out and come to terms that I’m gay. I wasted my youth trying to be straight when I could never change who I really was.
Not getting divorced earlier.

Not taking investing seriously when I was young. Would have changed my financial situation.
Not getting better grades
Loving her
Resenting my parents for a good part of my childhood, I’m still a teen but looking back it was completely unjustified and they were just doing what was right for me I love them so much
Loving him and giving myself to him completely to be accused of being a cheat constantly when he was in fact the cheat 🤯 projection is REAL af
I’ll never trust another man as long as I live
Putting my problems aside & focusing on others instead. Now I have no choice but to face my problems & it feels overwhelming
Being born
Nothing, because everything is a learning curve and my former choices have lead me to where I am now and were the best choices at that time. Don’t think about the ‘what if-s’. Look at what you’ve become and change that whatever you don’t feel good about.
Not hugging my grandmother one last time before she passed.
Having children
Letting Low Self Esteem Rule my life Wasted 15 years of my life and counting, battling with my own self
Believing in good
Not being more confident in my looks as a teenager. I limited myself to so little opportunities
Giving someone a second chance
Not knowing self-worth a long, long, long time ago. Could have saved me a lot of time and mistakes along the way.
All of my ex girls
Not spending enough time getting to know myself in my younger years. Things like “what do I genuinely enjoy?” “What brings me joy?” Because I for one reason or another was pushed into things I “need/ should” do.
Having a family at young age and not financially ready
Trusting my parents
Going to college straight after highschool (and staying at home). Biggest mistake of my life. Ruined my mental, emotional, physical, and financial health.
Staying with my ex-husband.
not fucking more when I was younger.
Constantly being too much for people, even to those who love me. I am a broken person who people should avoid in all honesty.
Sticking to echo chambers of misery and self loathing because as long as others feel like shit why wouldn’t I be allowed to do so as well?
Would have picked myself up by my boatstraps way sooner.
Not spending more time with my father before he passed. It’s been 15 years and it still eats at me.
Not realizing that I had social anxiety most of my life.
[removed]
Did every possible thing for her
Getting on that plane in 2007.
Taking for granted that my husband would be alive forever, that we would grow old together. I deeply regret the stupid shit I used to worry about because it took time away from just loving him and enjoying his company. I regret so much 😥
Not getting out of a toxic relationship earlier.
I should have treated my girlfriend right out of high-school better.

Well I’m only 19 but I regret being so quiet and caring so much what others think. I let it consume me and I missed some opportunities
Living life with no regrets!
Assigning value to any of my experiences!
Not thinking about pursuing something that I really wanted. Didn’t even try. Just went with the flow for a ‘successful’ career path defined by the society.

Not immediately moving to a more modern city where there are much better opportunities for career, dating and general more suitable for me.
It’s so hard to keep getting hard stuck in both dating and career for all these years, if only I moved immediately from New Zealand to Australia.
I finally moved 6 months ago, I am reminded of my regret everyday. At least it’s over.
Not properly paying attention to my cat as she was nearing death.
I was really ill as a child and missed out on a lot of social activities so I didn’t have any friends. All I had was my cat.

Not learning taxes and investments. There is a reason school doesn’t teach this shit 🫠
Spending 2 years studying for a test and failing in the last exam.
2 years lost
Not breaking up with my partner after he cheated but trying to make it work instead. Took me nearly another 4 years to leave that relationship. Dreadful.
I stopped working out in my late 20s. Paying for it now
Choosing to love people who made me a shadow of myself

Marrying my ex wife
not leaving certain places and situations early
listening to my parents too much. gotta have your own life and not worry about what they want for you/ think is best for you.
All the cash I’ve spent on drugs.
Not giving time to love myself always thinking about how to help my family to survive
not being brave enough to pursue my passions
Marrying my ex husband .
Never doing anything in my teenage years. Now in my twenties I am hopelessly behind in life.

Not talking a scholarship or applying for anymore
Not giving important to things that i think aren’t important
Not taking up the hobbies I have now when I was way younger
My job. I had a chance to get out 8 years ago and didn’t take it. Now I’m too deep in to get out.
Not loving myself more. My whole life would have been different if only I loved and believed in myself.

getting unlimited access on the internet at such a young age
