Biggest regrets in life?

One of my biggest regrets is not keeping in touch with my best friend from school. Really just drifted apart after we finished up with school.

Really can't even remember the last time we spoke

Buying during the boom

Biggest regret is not realising how good I had it when I finished school and thought minor things were worries.

After a dead parent, a child and a few serious long term relationships going tits up due to my behaviour. I regret those days when I thought I had real regrets.

I didn't.

You don't.

Sorry to say but I have no regrets.

Dicky Pride · 20-11-2013 12:17AM

The moment I first walked into a bookies. I'd be a wealthy man now if it wasn't for it. (I havent done it in a long time, but woke up and sought help too late.)

Not getting more involved in football (soccer) when I was younger.

Anyone that says they have no regrets is either a liar, or in denial. There's always something

Not being educated.

Going to College. Or at least not taking the time after secondary school to make an informed decision. I was far too trusting of others when it came to advice and overestimated my own capacity to work.

Not going to see Versailles when they played in London a couple of years back. Absolutely kicking myself over that, because now they've broken up and I'll never get to see them

Not buying some Bitcoin when I first heard about them 3 years ago.

Broke up with a girlfriend two years ago who was too controlling. Regret it big time. I have now realized all women are like that.

HistoryMania · 20-11-2013 01:09AM

Taking up smoking from a young age. Paying for it now cnut to give up.

razorgil · 20-11-2013 01:18AM

not spending more time with my dad. we did a lot together, he was my hero. not the same talking to him at the grave, and substituting touching the grass on his grave for a handshake.

beks101 · 20-11-2013 01:19AM

Loads and none. I've done sh1t tonnes of retarded things but realistically, if I undid them, I'd re-do them all again in the morning, and then some.
Because I am a human being.

Not sure if that was supposed to be funny. But it was. And true too :pac:

In watched Billy Connelly's world tour of Australia when it came out in 1996, I was 18. I remember thinking when I finished college i'd head off a see all those places.

I'm 36 in March, bought my first home last year and engaged to be married next year. Got a puppy a few months ago so my life had taken the "standard route". Now don't get me wrong, I'm very happy and marrying my best friend but part of me always thinks I should have gone when I could.

Still though..I have the rest of my life to get there and I believe happiness is only real when shared anyway so maybe we'll go together in the future.

SimonTemplar · 20-11-2013 01:27AM

My choice of college. The lecturers are awful (one can barely speak English) and the course is filled with meaningless subjects that add no value. Waste of time and money

Wattle · 20-11-2013 01:33AM

Had a 6 year relationship that broke up and in the aftermath there was this other girl. We dated a few times and she was lovely but my head was all over the place from the previous break-up so I just let it slide. Looking back I really regret it. I think she would have been a really nice girlfriend. Sometimes I tell myself that the timing was just wrong but fuk it.

Not dropping out of university when things got really bad. Ended up stubbornly struggling my way to an average degree that closed off more doors than it could open for me. For someone who was good at nothing else other than academia, having that taken away from me is something I still struggle to get over every single day. And doubt I ever will.

It might sound like something minor compared to others but having invested pretty much my entire self-worth into my exam results, coupled with being treated shittily by people who once pretended they cared about me, it leaves me feeling completely worthless and full of regret, thinking about what could have been if only I'd left and started again somewhere else....

shantolog · 20-11-2013 02:26AM

Plenty of things I think about and go "Oh I shouldn't have said / done that", but the things I really regret were not taking chances when I had the oppertunity to do or get something I wanted, but didn't take the chance because I was too scared and embarrassed to fail and have others see me fail.

Not taking chances in the past weighs alot more on my shoulders now than failure in the past ever would.

My biggest regret is

Picking up the crack pipe and taking a hit from it
I've been chasing the dragon ever since

The Backwards Man · 20-11-2013 02:32AM

I'm with Edith, as always. You only get one shot at life folks, time spent regretting is time wasted amending.
