Not choosing better friends.
Starting to smoke cigarettes. The only reason I started was to look cool among my peers. Deep down I hated it!
That I didn’t socialise when I was younger and didn’t go to uni. I’ve basically spent the last 17 years as a shut away besides necessary stuff like work.
This means the friends you refer to are imaginary and don’t exist because my social skills are crippled.
I think if I’d gone to uni and had tried to make more friends when I was younger I might have had a chance, now it’s too late and I just can’t operate in a social situation. I don’t know how to act or what to talk about. I’m sure there must be something about me that’s very off putting but I have no one to tell me what it is and I can’t figure it out.
I changed professions from a laywer to a school teacher like 4 years ago.
None of them know.
If I were to undo any major decision that could have improved my life career wise, it would have come at the cost of the maturity I’ve gained from bad stupid decisions and I never would have met my wife.
There is only 1 thing I could change that wouldn’t have dominod me into a different place than I am.
I was 18. She was 17. Coworker, all over me, one day she made it very clear some spicy shit was on the table.
I was a virgin, I was also stupid and thought 17 was illegal for an 18 year old.
So I told her sorry I’m not interested because I don’t want to go to jail.
Cockblocked myself. Very embarrassing.
Oh and yeah. It was very obvious even to me back then. She wasn’t licensed, but she took my keys saying instead of me giving her a ride home, she would give me a ride home, then proceeded to clip my keys to the back of her pants so I would have to reach for her ass to get them back. Saying “reach for them and see what happens later”
Sometimes I think getting into the career I’m in was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made
Cigs weed and alcohol. All are unhealthy and a waste of time… but most of all, marrying a woman who felt victimized by the “patriarchy”. She was always unhappy cheated took my kid when I left her because she was angry how dare I divorce her and now I pay support and have every other weekend with the person I love more than anything. It’s torture and I wish I was dead. Don’t marry a jaded woman.
(Woman here) That I was a bit of a cyber bully when I was a pre-teen. Definitely regret being so mean to poor girls who did not deserve the insults.
That I regret not marrying a girl we all knew back in college. She was super buttoned down, shy, conservative, all that stuff.
She would’ve been a badass wife and mother. My loss. She professed her love for me one day. But my mental health was too fucked up at the time so I let her down gently.
If I could change one thing from college, it would be that. We would’ve been happy together.
And I know for a fact my friends wouldn’t understand.
I don’t hold back anything. If they don’t like something, they can go. I don’t need friends that aren’t loyal.
