Well said ^^^^^

Every mistake i have ever made i have tried to learn from. No regrets.
 
Okay, there is one thing I REALLY regret. Like 5 years ago I really liked this one girl and she liked me too. We were too shy to admit it. But when another girl started doing anything I said, she admitted she liked me, and I shot her down. DUMBEST MISTAKE. EVER.
 
Not crying at my Grandpa's Funeral 4 years ago. After visiting the graveyard he's in today, I came to realize that it was very sad I didn't see him much in his life. He did so much for me, and the least I could do is show respect for him by showing some emotional thought. All I did was sit there, and just watch. Not a single tear came out of my eye. After all he has done for me, he loved and cherished me, why, why couldn't I show thought? :(
 
When I was 6, my family did not have much money, and for a present on my birthday I got a frisbee and some clothes, and I started crying and my mum got sad.
I know I was young, but...dang, the guilt lasts forever.
 
My biggest regret was not knowing what field I wanted to major in. Now, it is Information Systems. Before, it was Mechanical Engineering, then Computer Engineering, then Computer Science.

I could have graduated in May of last year, but instead, I'll be graduating this coming May. Oh well...
 
Well as a 14 year old I'am not sure my biggest regret was.I'm sure I'll have a really really bad one when I'm older but for now it has to be not asking girls out.:indiff:
Or buying a knock off iPod from Singapore.Yes I said Singapore!
Another might be putting my ps3 where a young puppy can pee on it...You see I was at my friends house and we have our "ps3 sleepover".So I put my ps3 on the floor and a tv on a chair and I played my ps3.It was all good until around 1 am when me and my mate tried to get platinum on Little big planet.So we just finished 1 of the hardest levels on the game without dying and then his cute puppy came over and took a wizz on my ps3.That killed the disc reader.:( I sent the ps3 to sony since it still was on it warranty.Since that day my ps3 has never been the same.I got it back and it worked perfectly until I was downloading Fifa 10 ultimate team trail.It had a YLOD.I got it fixed and I also have a slim ps3 now!But the fat ps3 had a YLOD again.
 
Quitting my management job at GameStop making $16+ an hour. Have yet to get another job making anywhere near that. If I had stayed there, I would probably be higher up in the company by now making a lot more than that.

Such is life.
 
My biggest regret thus far has been my schooling. I had almost no idea what to do my senior year of high school; I did an early sign up for the Marines but ended up hurting my knee, I thought about attending a college over on the left side of Michigan to pursue auto mechanics and I got accepted at Purdue, U of M and Norte Dame. In the end I ended up at Oakland University which is maybe 5 miles from my house.

When I entered Oakland I started as a journalism major, which shifted to English, which shifted to history, then to a history/anthropology double major and finally settling on anthropology with a concentration in archaeology for no other reason then I simply immersed myself with it and grew a passion for the studies.

Looking back now I wish I would have done things differently, I know anthropology isn't the most useful degree but I just loved everything about it. What I think I should have probably done is get my anthropology degree but used my electives to secure a degree in non-profit administration. But I don't even know if that was right.

I mean I loved everything about my college experience, I met a lot of great people that I still talk with all the time and are there to help me with whatever. I just think I should have went about it a little bit differently.

I have other regrets, but many of them turned out to work out in the end when I think about it. The biggest one is dating my exgirlfriend, her and I dated off and on for something like 7 years, probably being together for a total of a little over 6 years. I look at all the stuff I missed out on because of her; partying with my friends, car shows, trips with the guys, sporting events and so on. But in the ended because my horrible lack of meeting girls skills because of my ex, after we broke up I tried and online dating site. Through this I have found the perfect girl for me and will marry once my finances can support it.
 
So GTPlanet, what is your biggest regret at the moment?

Mine would be I didn't ask one girl out when she was into me, and now it's too late.

My biggest regret right now is going after this girl I liked.. 👎


Plenty of relationship related regrets in this thread :dopey:

If you ever get a second chance and you're still into that person MAKE IT COUNT! Don't be an idiot and let the pretty lady just walk in a different direction. Run after her and ask if she'd like to catch up sometime or something.

Up to you to do the rest :)
 
I'm not entirely sure of a regret right now...though I've got something going on right now that I might regret later. Don't worry...I won't tell you what it is. :p

I would say asking for a certain present for my last birthday but I really don't wanna say what it is in fear of fans of said present coming round my house and eating me. :D
 
Wasting a year of my life in the worst class ever. Could have had a much better year if I had the guts to switch class ASAP on the first day.
 
Mine would be ruining my A Levels. I dropped Maths midway through Year 12, so I finished it with 3 AS', although I failed Physics, so it was only 2. I spent last year redoing Physics and got a C, I had my first A2 Physics lesson today, it should have been a year ago really. In an ideal world I'd be off to uni now, as all my peers are.
 
My biggest regret is putting iv instead of iv'e and famine saw it :/ that was a fateful day that i will always regret :D

And he may still have some thing to say about iv'e without an 'I' and the punctuation in the wrong place. :lol:

Depressing, sorry.

I'm really sorry to hear that HD. Reading it sent a shiver down my spine as I can only imaging the feeling that must have caused.

My biggest regret.

I could easily make this last pages but I'll make it quick.

Gave up football...

It's one of those things. I did it myself (see page 1) and could have ranted for pages about how gutted I am but the way my life is now I'm half glad that I did it. It's one of those regrets that, for me, was not an unhappy memory.
 
This is a good way to look at it, but you sometimes have that thing you remember and think that you should have done differently. The correct thing to do at this moment is to learn from it and apply it to future occasions. The problem is, sometimes there is no future occasion

Right, but I'm alive and there's nothing I can do to change what has already happened. All I can do now is make the best decision for myself and the people around me with the information I have right now.
 
@HumanDestroyah:
I'm really sorry, that must have really hurt, especially since you still loved her :(

Thanks for the kind words you two. This was seven years ago this October, I've had time to move on. I still don't drive down the street it happened.
 
I regret a lot of my past.
If only I could go back and show myself how good my life would become with a few changes.

Oh well. Best I can do is keep the things I dont want appearing under wraps and get on with now.
 
Depressing, sorry.
->Not telling a girl that broke up with me that I was in love with her. She died in a car accident a few months later.<-

Sorry to hear about that man :(

I DID tell a girl that broke up with me that I was in love with her, and she didn't care. :indiff: Now I'm worried about her future, she seems to be losing sight of everything...

As for regrets? Yeah, I have one or two girl-related regrets, same as everyone else. Those don't count. Besides that, I can't say I have any significant regrets. I've lived my life and as a result had four of my life dreams happen just in this past year, and it's only going to get better. I'm satisfied. 👍

Awesome. I'm happy for you, bro. :cheers:

What made it so tough was when I saw her mom at the crash site on the year anniversary. She told mr about her diary and hat she wrote about me after we split. Her mom's words cut pretty damn deep.
 
That has to be a lot to go through. It has to be really tough to get through that HumanDestroyah. I went back through and read your first post in here and it had me tearing up a bit.
 
Yeah, sorry to be the rain cloud. I had some great times with her and have good memories to last. Part of the reason I joined the coast guard is because she was going to. I guess you can say it's a nod to her every time I get into uniform. I'm happily married with a son now. Tanks for the kinds words again :cheers:

It's a regrets thread, you're entitled to bring in the rain. I'm glad you've moved on and have lived your life since then. 👍
