Regrets?

scojones · 24-07-2005 11:59PM #1

Hey everyone. Is there anything that you really regret doing in your life? Something that you would change if you were able to go back in time? I've a few, I regret the age I started drinking at (very very young age), and I regret not going to the dentist on a regular basis. I means I have to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed :eek:
I also regret giving up soccer and golf when I did. I was pretty good at soccer, and by giving up golf I lost my membership, which was only 50 quid at the time cause I was a student, If I want to rejoin, I have to pay 3 grand and I'll be on a five year waiting list. I also regret not showing my ex enough attention. That is by far my biggest regret.

That sucks. Have you read that book that's very popular? You smoke throughout the book, but by the end you're supposed to totally hate them? I forget the name of it, but it has worked for everyone I know who gave it a go.

This thread was done not so long ago if i remember correctly but anyways there are a lot of thigs i regret not doing, a lot more than thigs i regret doing however like county i regret smoking. I used to think i was so cool having a fag after school and hiding in the toilets hoping the teachers wouldn't catch us!! What a ****ing waste.

Edit*/

Thats the Alan Carr book supposed to be very good but if your anyway cynical about self help books it probably wont do much good, i know two people who stayed smoking after it but yeah they were cynics

A little off topic but the closest thing yet to having me quit was seeing Sean Penn in 21 grams, excellent film!!

scojones · 25-07-2005 12:30AM

I'm fueling the off topicness...

I still have to see that movie, I keep forgetting about it though. Been meaning to watch it now for months :rolleyes:

I regret being a coward throughout primary/secondary school.
I regret having gone to that **** hole Rosmuc.
I regret not having tried to get to know more girls/women, I hate being lonely.
I regret knowing only now at 22 years old knowing what kind of music I like.
I regret being a coward.
I regret bullying my sister (that includes preying on the weak cause of my insecurities).
I regret not having taken up running when I was a teen.
I regret being different and unique as much as I love it, sometimes it would have been easier just to follow the crowd.
I also regret it everytime I haven't got the courage to put someone in their place because of the fear of upsetting them.
I regret being afraid
There's more I just can't think of them I regret that because this is kind of theraputic.

Trying to give up to booze myself, proving very hard because I'm having serious relationship issues at the moment. Oh the joys of it. Right... bedtime.

CerebralCortex · 25-07-2005 01:22AM

Oh yes it does.

Selik · 25-07-2005 01:43AM

Hmmm I tend not to have too many regrets as I think it's counter-productive in terms of going forward with confidence and getting on with things.

Having said that I do regret giving up the piano and music theory when I was around 12-13yrs old. I was sh!t-hot but my teacher in the Royal Academy of Music was just too demanding and intimidating and one day I left the place saying I would never go back, and I didn't (no matter what my parents tried).

arbeitsscheuer · 25-07-2005 01:45AM

Oooh Gilo reminds me.
I regret never learnin to play guitar. Would've loved that.
