What is your biggest regret?

Mine is dropping out of college to go travelling in a bus. It was the most fun but ultimately its left me in a series of dead end jobs and a meager salary wondering where I will be in a few years time.

Wasting several years involved in religion is my greatest regret.

Although there are some positive aspects of a brush with religion, I think it is the cause of much life wasted. It was like living without a brain for several years.
Unfortunately my last relationship (5.5 years). What a waste.

Not taking something practical in college. I enjoyed my liberal arts degree, but I have been messing about for most of the last 35 years. I wish I had become an engineer as I considered back then. I might have made something other than birdcage liners.
Taking life to seriously in my twenties.
hey hun dnt regret anything you do everything for a reason you made that choice at the time. if you want to go to college do nigt school now then you haven't done anything wrong dnt live with regrets sort them out regrets only drag you down remeber what is done is done now start thinking how you better yourself. i never went to college I did hairdressing i hated it and ended up only being able to get a job in a greasey cafe part time. i decided i couldnt waste my life and am currently doing an NVQ in admin while working in a mortgage brokers. find what you want to do and go for it and reebr all the good times you had on that bus
Getting married too young. My advice is to go to school, study, get your degree and start a career first. then settle down and get married. ..
I dumped my boyfriend when he told me he loved me because I was scared. Having been hurt badly in the past, to have someone honest was frightening. Thankfully, I saw sense and we have been together ever since but I will never forgive myself for almost losing out on the most amazing thing in the world! =)
That 10th pint i had last night,i would say to you though how about adult education?you can change your life if you want. Good Luck.
That I have not seen a therapist a long time ago .
getting married at 18, the marriage didn't work out of course and I ended up alone in my early twenties with two toddlers I could barely support. life has been very very hard for me ever since.
wasting my early twenties drinking my life away, when i should have gone to uni.. which im glad to say im now doing
being ill and not working get really fed up
Not stumping up the monie my last Girlfriend needed to do her PHD in this country, if only i had the time again...
assuming that the love of my life was OK and not placing her first in my life.. she ironically was my life so when she left, i was left with nothing, and I believe that behind every successful person is a support network, which needs to be loved and looked after..


I was a chump..

My biggest regret is that I've not sort revenge on a guy who stalked me and made my life a misery (3 years ago) and who got away with it scot free. I still hope I can rectify that at some point in my life so it no longer remains my biggest regret.
me too
You should live your life without regrets. We don't always do the right things.sometimes we make mistakes.but that's what life is all about.as long as we learn from our mistakes.
getting married too young at 18. divorced after 1 year. totally turned me off marriage again.
mine was waiting too long to make the right decision and loosing what was the best thing in my life the pain is as real now as it was then but you have to get on with it and make the most of life dont you cant elaborate any more sorry too painfull but it sums up why we should not hang about when we need to make that decision doesnt it
getting married at 19 to man i never loved and who could not have ever loved me because of his 3 affairs. i should have seen the light and left earlier.
I have done many stupid things, many things I look back at with horror and shock, long periods of my life (adding up to years) completely wasted, days spent drunk on benches that I could have spent having fun, jobs and promotions I have turned down, money I have squandered. I don't regret any of these things.
I only have two regrets in life:
- that I didn't start travelling and going abroad sooner
and my biggest regret:
- 7 years ago someone was really kind to me and obviously (in retrospect) genuinely was attracted to me and wanted to become good friends, I was always drunk at that point in my life and had very low self-esteem and as such thought she must have been playing a cruel joke on me. I wasn't offensive to her but I did firmly push her away and since then nodody has ever expressed any interest in having a relationship with me in that way. Over time I turned more heavily to drink until I became married to the bottle so to speak and after giving up drinking over a year ago I have lost all interest in sex and relationships. I sometimes wonder if she could have saved me from myself if I had let her. she is my biggest regret.
none really just 1 from when i was 17-i was seeing a lad called paul he was gorgeous,fit and nice and we were seeing each other,i couldnt believe my luck cus everywhere we went girls would stare at him and lads were jealous,my mates were dead jealous and he was just a good lad,i kept waiting 4him to realise he could find some1 way prettier than me and i was just waiting for him to dump me cus i felt i didnt deserve him so i stopped answering his calls and when he knocked at my house i told my mum to tell him i was out-this went on for weeks until he stopped calling.i didnt want to do that 2him cus i loved him but i felt he could and would find some1 better! i realise this was stupid he did like me for me and i dont think he would hav hurt me cus he was the nicest lad ive ever met-i always wander wat would have happened if i didnt push him away! x
I have lots of really big regrets. Waiting until my health was so bad before asking for help with my marriage. Going further sexually than I intended before marriage. Living in fear most of my life because I was too afraid, ashamed, and embarrassed to ask questions. Not spending more time with my Grandma before she died. Being in such a big hurry to get out of college and get a job and enjoy what I thought was real life. Waiting until my son was 3 1/2 before admitting that he had a problem that I could not handle on my own. Having children when my marriage was such a mess thinking it would make me happy in my marriage. Hating my mother-in-law and carrying my anger at her around with me everywhere and letting that anger completely control my life. Trying so hard to make my dad like me and not realizing that he loved me anyway. Not spending more time with God, reading His word, praying, and developing a closer relationship with Him. Feeling pressured and deciding to get married before I was ready.
Getting married to a loser who has just brought me down to the lowest level in my life.
I don't have any regrets because at my age of 21 I have implemented almost total recapitulation of my past life (thoroughly examined) far from my family, relatives and friends. After that I have totally reorganised my life's style.
Anything I do I give the best of myself in deeds, thought and feelings.So I have nothing to regret anymore whether I win or lose. I do my best.The rest is you can call fate, wish of Heavens or anything else.Sometimes helps me sometimes is against me but it is out of a realm of my influence.So remains nothing to regret.
You can try this (rest if you are tired, be lazy for a change, but never give up):
A Manual for Living (A Little Book of Wisdom) by Epictetus (Sharon Lebell) suggesting; How do I live a happy,fulfilling life? How can I be a good person?
If you feel it is not for you, stay far from this, don't do that.
not marrying my first true love.she did great bl*wjobs
Regrets are a waste of time and energy.

Everyone has things they would like to change but every cloud has a silver lining. If I did have a regret it would be sleeping with a certain guy, coz the situation with him turned ugly, but on the plus side it gave me the courage and confidence to break up with the boyfriend I had that treated me like crap (not a cheater btw, but it was a complicated situation!!)

If you regret something badly then you should try and do something to change it, like if you were to go back to college.

Don't regret things, count them as a mistake and learn from them.
I cant tell u.
