No regrets here, it's foolish to think that way. Only lessons I've learned throughout the years and hopefully continue to do so. The good ones I prefer to share, to pass on, and make a difference in someone's life.

The biggest regret I have, which had the greatest impact on my life, was deciding shortly after I was born, that anyone who was already here when I arrived, must know better what's going on than I do.

Caused me no END of horror stories until I finally realized how false it was.



Never ever would have thought of that one :banana: :banana:

blushing Do you have any regrets in your life and if so, what was the one that had the greatest impact. sad2


I regret wasting 10 years of my youth waiting for a love in vain. I didn't regret loving someone , but of the opportunities that passed by me because I was hoping and holding on to the empty promises of love. I should have learned to let it go earlier and open my heart to experience the joy of life. And yet in letting go, life has still no guarantee you will find the one that you are longing for. But instead, you just have to live in the present, enjoy and be grateful of whatever life brings you. Live life to the fullest.:smile: happy

We all have been through the ups and downs of life. We shouldn't regret loving someone, but be sure to love yourself too and don't let suffering or pain rule your life. Life is too precious to waste. Continue to seize the day and hope for a better tomorrow:smile: happy

My biggest regret is the few times I have pulled people close, reveled myself to them,shared my secrets, and showed them my soul only to be stabbed in the heart by the cold blade of failure.I guess we all experience this to some extent,lessons learned , life goes on.

I do not think anyone goes through life without this happening to them at least once, but we just continue with hope when it does. :smile:

One of my ex's, my very first one, who was my childhood sweetheart, got revenge on me for breaking up with him. Fair enough if I'd cheated on him, but I told him why I didn't want to be with him anymore. He first got a dangerous gang, to constantly torture me where I lived with my mum and my sister. They would constantly be sat outside of our house, watching everything I did. Then it got out of hand. They started to not just shout abuse at me. They would also throw stones, fireworks, bricks, etc, at our windows. I had an excruciating bowel illness. I didn't need it. I eventually ended up in psychiatric hospital because of Chris and his cronies. I knew he was instigating it, because the police tracked everything he did. The police told me to keep rejecting him, if he asked to get back in touch with me. I remember Chris kept visiting my house, to tell me he had improved, but it was always going to be a bit late for that. I'd found someone else to date. Thankgod the dr's at the psychiatric hospital moved me away from that mess. I feel a lot better since Stephen took me under his wing. I was just glad he looked out for me.

Actually, I've been through that as well, on a grand scale, and it's something I don't regret at all. Not because I love pain, or because I am happy about the damage done to me.

I'm glad, because I DID learn.

I have zero regrets about being open and honest with people, even when they used it against me. Again, not because I enjoy being taken advantage of, but because when people DO turn on me because of what I am honest about, I can rapidly eject them from my life, and thus be more certain every day, that I am in less danger of rejection or abuse.

Honesty isn't the best policy because people reward you for it. It's the best policy because it's the only way to make sure that what DOES happen in your life, is real.

I regret the times I ignored that little voice inside me that told me "no way this is right" because it always made a painful detour in my life that often did not do anything but re-enforce what I already knew.

Life is too short, to waste any of it, pining away
over past experience.

Learn from past experience, become a better person
by learning, and move on.

A ton of em. Easily the worst was trying drugs at age 14. The next 12 years were hellish because of the series of events that took place after that mistake. I've been clean for over a decade & still paying the price , so that was an easy question to answer ;-)
