    i think a lot of people will be reluctant to write down something serious here since a load of people are taking the piss etc etc...

    I regret clicking on this thread...

    I saw the title of the thread, and was wondering which reply it would be before someone posted that. Bravo, old bean. Have a hobnob.

    i remember having a a fairly big arguement with my mother over something trivial (perfect hindsight) and basically telling her to go away. I remember my father telling me life is too short for stuff like that. long story short she died shortly afterwards and i never got a chance to say im sorry.

    As ironic as a crowbar to the face.

    I regret the haircut I had 18 months ago.

    And I'm still having trouble learning from my mistakes!

    I have a few regrets , but who among us doesn't.


    I regret saying some thing to someone on a night out, they did deserve something said to them but i was OTT.

    i regret giving up some sports, and never taking them back up.

    I regret some of the relationships i've been in, but hindsight and all that jazz.

    i regret having my heart broken by my last relationship, but rather to of loved and lost than to of never loved at all... even if it's the hardest thing to get over.

    There isn't much I memorably regret, I guess doing a course I hated and dropping out is a big one, as is:
    I also regret not showing my ex enough attention. That is by far my biggest regret

    Same thing for me, strange how you only miss them and realise how much better a person you could have been afterwards...But ah well, live and learn, we only live the once.

    That said though, my current GF was dumped rather crudely by me about a year ago......I thought I was happy etc with other girls, but then I thought hmm, I really liked that girl, what the hell did I do....

    ....Took alot of talking, asking, refusals, and persistance before she finally agreed to go out with me again. I wouldn't take no for an answer. But here we are today, happier then I've ever been before. I got lucky.

    So thats one big regret that I managed to amend in the face of defeat.

    i regret ALL my choices in men .

    I regret getting my heartbroken this year by someone I would have trusted with my life who now isn't even talking to me. I thought I knew him so well, turns out I don't know him at all.

    I'm never going to let myself get hurt like that again. Ever.

    Other regrets pale in to insignificance compared to that.

    Was thinking it'll always hurt. A huge chunk of my life was taken up by that relationship. Not just loosing my partner but my best friend. Best friend, HAH, I should choose my friends more carefully.

    I just want to let you know that there is alot to look forward to. This isnt the end of the world, no no. In time you will start to think less and less of it, thinking that you are getting over it. In actual fact you are taking a swirling ball of emotions and compressing it, like coal turning into a Diamond. Except instead of something spectacular like diamond, its this hardend ball of resentment, mistrust, pain, doubt etc that will take you years to shake off. You mightent remember much about dating her but that lump of hardend coal will always remain a bit like food poisining three years after a burger king (Nice packaging but all that it does is leave a shíte taste in your mouth and make you feel sick for ages after.)

    Just so you know there is still hope. If your really lucky you turn into a mean príck

    Thanks.. I think :o If I've learnt one thing from it all, it's that if I get into another relationship I will thread carefully... I thought we'd grow old together, never saw the breakup coming. I was living in fantasy land. I really have learnt alot from this failed relationship, which has built me as a stronger more knowledgeable person. I'll make sure I don't make the same mistakes again.

    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 believe the above to clash normally it's the leader of the crowd you wanna put in their place.

    I too regret not standing up to people verbally and putting them in their place, i also regret ever assisting in the work of a "group".

    I regret telling various girls who don't deserve to be liked that i like them, I regret making it obvious to girls that i like them (Cos let's face it that just doesn't work).
    I regret hesitating when it comes to moving in for the kill (so to speak).
    I regret not taking the guitar up sooner.
    I regret continuing the family tradition of being a last minuter.
    I regret being a bad judge of character and confiding in untrustworthy people.
