Just wanted to know if any body has ever regretted doing something.
Some people may say that You learn from your mistakes and stuff.
Thought I might get something interesting on here and juicy HAHA.
Hmm, First thing that comes to mind for me is going out with this boy (he was my first boyfriend). I told him I like him, and because of that he started liking me to. Only problem was that we only spoke online even though he lives close to me. Once we met, I was shy...for MONTHS!!! We was just seeing other through all of that. He finally asked me out and 3 weeks in to the relationship, I'm cheating on him...BAD I KNOWW! But I wasn't shy with this boy...I felt as though I could be my self It was wonderful...So thats one thing I regret hehe...going out with that boy xD
What about youu? =]

I do not really have regrets. I try to live just to live and take life as it comes. I believe that we make certain decisions for a reason. These decisions help us to become who we are today. You never know how your life would have been different if you had mad different choices in the past. I think we should not waste our time regretting things. Instead, we should move on with the future. If we waste our time on regrets, we might miss out on something wonderful that could happen for us.

Yes, I have many regrets. I regret the guy that I gave my virginity up to at 16 years old. He was a slimeball. He did not deserve me at all. I regretted not getting my driver's license, many years ago. I regretted being born into the family that I came from. I wished that we had had better family members that were much nicer and didn't always try to cause trouble in other peoples lives. I regretted not being able to finish college and my old job... My grandmother and aunt caused this.. I regretted at times being married to my husband. But, that is just a thought that has never actually came into effect. We are still married.. I realize that he is not always to blame for me and my families downfall.

Quite a few,but there are only a couple that I caused that I would love to change,
But some,like the girl I wanted to marry,and she,I,were seperated by my mother,she did not think she was good enough for me.
It was discovered not long ago,that I have suffered from sever depression all my life,and this caused me to except things at face value,and in many cases still do,and if I could go back,knowing what I know now,I would change many things.
thank you for the discussion.

There are quite a few things I regret. They are done, and they can not be taken back. All I can say is, thinking back, if I could change some things, I certainly would, but it is too late. I think my life would have had a more positive outlook if I had made different decisions, and I do regret that I didn't.

As for me, I guess regret is a part of our journey in life. I always have regrets, no need to hide. There good regrets (even though the word regret itself is a sign of negative) and bad regrets (isn't this redundant?)for me. One thing is for sure, it is because that is what God plans for me. As long as you are still confident to decide and make your plans to be successful, never mind the risks and the regrets ahead. Thank you and have a goo day!

In the past year I have one thing that I regret the most in my life. I hooked up with my girlfriend. We have been together for one year. There are so many things I gave her. Gave her love. Always been patient whenever she had tantrums. Always fetch her and send her to school all the time. That time I was working in a graveyard shift. My friends kept telling me that the girl cannot be trusted and that she brings home boys inside our house when I'm in my shift. But in spite of all the warnings. I never listened to them. I ignored their warnings. One day, I found out that she had a picture of her guy inside our house. So there I suspected a lot. I asked her questions regrading that but she told me that it was her friend from school. So I stopped asking and trust her again with her magic sweetness. Months had past I realized that she's been using my ATM saving account too. I saw my billing statement of my savings account, I saw transactions from the store particularly shoe store, starbucks, restaurants and etc. So I asked her how come you have spend a lot of money? So she said she wanted to enjoy and have fun. One time I dared to check her cell phone. And there I found out that all of those transactions was made with her guy. This is the biggest regret I had before. trusting people and loving them but in return they will eat your head! Today, thats the biggest lesson I have in life. Dont just trust people easily and know them before you give everything to them. Hope this also serves as an advise to you guys. I'm lucky to have such experience at least now I know how to deal with people either to trust them or not.

i never thought i would actually say that there's a lot of stuff i regret. it kinda caught up to me recently u know?... it sucks. i should've tried harder in school a couple of years ago now it seems like im a bit screwed, but it's hard to get outta that kind of crap. the people i used to hang out with are no longer friends of mine and i could really careless to make new ones. so in a way i feel like im kinda drifting, and trying to make the best out of a big mistake.

It seems that our life is full of regrets,we often regret that we didn't work hard on our school life,we often regret we lost many oppurtunities.
This days I often regret myself did not cherish my campus life and lost my ex-girlfriend who had had a good loving-time with me.However,everything has been gone,we all are unable to back.

I do regret a few things that I could have done but didn't because I was too lazy or just because the opportunity didn't present itself.
First of all I regret I didn't practice a sport.I would have been quite good at it if I tried harder.Second,I regret that I didn't start a band with my friends when I had the chance.That would have been fun.

Quite right,everyone has something he regets.As for me,i regret for choosing a college far away from my home.My college is so far from my home,it takes me almost four hours to go home by plane.But the plane ticket is much more expensive than train ticket.so I usually go home by train.it's quite difficult to buy a train ticket in the Spring Festival Transport period in China,and our winter vocations are usually in that period.So,its very agony.As a student,it's a lucky thing that I can get a train ticket in the Spring Festival Transport period ,but i must sit fourty hours in the train.Every time when i got home,I felt my body has broken.it's painful everywhere.The much worse thing is that i fall in love with a boy in my college and his home is in the city .It's a crazy thing.On the one hand,I want to find some job in my province,on the other hand,i don't want to give up our love.What shoud i do?

Well..hmm
If you really love him you would stay in the city to be with him.
I would
But alot of people have distant relationships. i'm sure you can do that.
why dont u make the guy come to u and see you when ur at home. instead of thinking that u got to stay there to see him.

Hi! One thing I regret is not saying what I have should at the right time.
I lost the oportunity of a life time, a girl that i really had an attraction, a few years I found her, married and with kids. The worst of this encounter was that she said that really liked me on that time.
After hearing that, I start thinking, I was so stupid, but that is a lesson that I won't forget anytime soon.
So live life and don't be like me, a loner who lost a wife and some kids, and possibly a few dogs.

I can't say that I have any regrets, per se. There are things that I look back on and feel embarrassed at doing, maybe even slightly ashamed, but as for regretting them? No, because those things made me the person I am today, and overall I'm pretty happy with the person I am. At the time, I may have wished that I could take them back, but now, I'm glad that I wasn't able to. It's made me a stronger, better person.

Hmmm.. there are a couple of things I think about when my gut tells me to do it and not do it. i regret those times. I mean, i really don't know if doing those things would affect my life now but i could have tried. Sometimes im left wondering what could have been if I did this or that..

I've made a lot of bad decisions that I now regret. Most of them include passing up good opportunities because of my fears and anxieties. But I can't do anything about those now, but just try to learn from past mistakes and move on.

I regret having made so many things in my life.
I cannot go back in time, yes, I regret that I made so many unforgivable mistakes, and I dare not tell anyone what I have made. It is so poor~ But I know I can do better now, I will never do it again.

Some people guess that they can avoid some mistake when something is done.they usually felt regretted,however,they may still do the same mistake when similar something happening again.

i sort of regret my college years..i am satisfied with my grades and all, but i could have done better...way better.i could have taken a different course, and probably excelled in that field. But i know that life is a continuous learning process, and it is not yet late to start anew! so i am planning to study again.
