If you could change any ONE regret in life, what would it be?

If you could change ONE thing and ONE thing only about something that happened in your past, big or small, what would it be?

Giving up the **** in 2003 for a month, achieved nothing only a couple of unexpected changes of bedsheets due to an excess build up in me 'bag'

Tell you what tho, first 'pedal' I had back after the month was over, could have killed a small animal with the velocity it came out :pac:

I don't know....
As much as things might not have gone the way I wanted them to go, I wouldn't change anything. Life is too short for regrets.

At the risk of bringing out the h8ers, it would have to be that I didn't take my gender issues more seriously when I was younger. So much lost living...

Making up for it now, though!

Hot pepper suppository.

It sounded fun at the time.

spoonface · 28-04-2011 02:41PM

I would have had more confidence - in myself, others and that things could work out. Limiting yourself by thinking you can't causes regret.

Coriolanus · 28-04-2011 02:43PM

Being too proud to ask for help.

In 1986 I would hang on tight and not and not be such a coward and jump. In 1990 I would run as fast as I could rather than being brave and staying put. Yes, the two biggest regrets of my life are the polar opposites of each other. Moral of the story: life teaches you lessons that could end up ruining your life.

Not studying sooner for the Leaving. The self-resentment I have at the moment is unbearable:(

I shoulda learned to play the guitar , I shoulda learned , to play them drums

NomdePlume · 28-04-2011 04:06PM

Wish I hadn't gone straight to college after school.
I had only just turned 17 when I was making all these big decisions about courses and subjects. Should have taken a year or two to get some space and think more broadly about it all. Would probably have ended up making better choices; or maybe not. Oh well.

Badgermonkey · 28-04-2011 04:15PM

Monkeybadger sounds cooler.

It just does.

O-Deazy · 28-04-2011 04:19PM

Those Jägerbombs last night.. I mean I was already drunk! Such a fool..

Frank Black · 28-04-2011 04:30PM

Was over in London for a summer during college.
There were a load of us working in a University over there.
Anyways there was this one girl I really fancied - she was beautiful.
Most of the guys tried it on with her at one stage or another but got nowhere. I was probably too shy.
But, we did get to know each other well over the weeks and I kinda felt she might have been falling for my charms (such as they were). I really though I had a chance with this goddess.
Then one night I got really drunk and ended up with her best friend (who was nowhere near as good looking - damn you alcohol, damn you!) - she walked into her room the next morning and saw me hungover in bed with her friend.

That was the end of that

RichieC · 28-04-2011 04:31PM

Asphyxia · 28-04-2011 04:41PM

It's a hard thing to think about because if I had of done certain things that I wish I had done I wouldn't have what I have now!

To get a brace. In about 1988 I had the chance but decided my teeth were OK, which they were by Irish standards at the time! now the bar has been raised. Everybody has beautiful teeth and I look like the Queen Mother. But, what ho, I could still get a brace myself I guess but I'd have to pay for it.:eek:

Your English isn't really sufficient, you had a mistake two words into an eight word sentence

I wish I had told my ex to F off and packed my stuff the night I wanted to, would've saved myself 6 months of grief, which isn't long but it was 6 months of torturous living and travelling with him that I could've avoided.

If you could change any ONE regret in life, what would it be?
