Your biggest regret.?

Question

I want real introspection:

what keeps you awake at night, wishing you'd done/hadn't done different in your life?

*note: anyone that says "I have no regrets" is a liar and will get thumbs down.

Answer 1

Well here's a long story... I met a guy at a laundrymatt, we made eye contact and for some weird reason I gained a lot of interest in him without even speaking a word to him. I left the laundrymatt without enough courage to talk to him. It was a Friday and I assumed he'd be there the Friday after that so I showed up the next Friday, and to my surprise he wasn't there. I felt bummed out and stupid. I asked the lady who worked there if she had seen him and she said no but she'd be glad to give him my number if he ever went back. 3 days later I get a call from the guy, he was happy he got my number and I was happy he called. I saw him every night from that day on and eventually fell in love with him but took him for granted. He wasn't from this country and left because he was homesick. The thing is he never said goodbye like he said he would. I cried every night because I missed him so much. 2 weeks later I find out he fell in a coma the week he got there and a few days ago he passed away. What I regret is letting him go and not trying to stop him. I let the love of my life pass me by and didn't bother stopping him. I'll live the rest of my life wondering what could've should've happened. The only thing I've gained from this experience is learning not to take people for granted.

I know you're looking for a more extreme story, but this is what I regret the most in my life. Sounds childish but it's true.  

Answer 2

Woooo!  What a threat!

My biggest regret is the promise I made to the woman I married, and I've never made another promise since...but I'm still married to her.

Answer 3

Well I guess you will have to give me a thumbs down.  I have no regrets.  Just because I have done some really stupid things in my life or because I have been through some really crappy times in my life doesn't mean that I regret the decisions that I have made or regret the times that I have been through.  I am who I am today not because of the good times but because of the bad.  If I only experienced good in my life I wouldn't be the strong independent person that I am.  It is the stupid things that you do and the hard times that you go through that teach you the lessons in life.  So no I have no regrets.  I don't even regret that you are going to give me a thumbs down because I gave you a honest answer.  Debbie

THANK YOU FOR THE THUMBS DOWN.  STILL NO REGRET!  Sorry that you wanted to hear a made up story if that is the case perhaps the question should get a thumbs down lol

Answer 4

Pretty much just the little things that I said that were completely stupid.

Answer 5

I wish I hadn't chosen to major in psychology. And that I hadn't wasted so much time in general. Ugh.

Answer 6

Mostly things I say. Like I will lay in bed and be like "why did I say that, I look like an idiot"  

Answer 7

1.Trying to figure out the reason why I was born into a mentally unstable environment and all the years its taken me to get over it. I wish I had the wisdom then that I do now as I feel I could've done so much more with my life.

2. Wondering why I'm here on Earth - did God make a mistake?

Well you wanted it honest!!!

Answer 8

My biggest regret is allowing myself being influenced by others...
