what is your deepest regret?

hi there winterose, with what is happening to my life for the past 6 months, i can really identify what my deepest regret was. and that is when i resigned from my previous job and redirect to establish a family business, that i have done this, so i can be with them and extend my help to our family to have a business of our own. since this is all our aim long time ago. but as time changes, their mood also change. just like my mom, before she was enthusiast in giving her moral support but when i arrived here, she changes her mind. and that she pushes me to look for another desk job. another issue is that, with my brother. whereas before, he always tells me, we will create a corporation wherein we will manage but, same thing with my mom, my brother does not cooperating anymore. as he just want to be on his own. he does not even talk to me until we end up exchanging hurting words to each. and it was one day, we are not really talking anymore even we are living under one roof. it is really a sad part for me because when i was about to go home during that time, my energy was too high and aiming to hit the mark of the start of our own business. but, when these things happen one by one, my energy and enthusiasm slowly goes down. and now, i ended up jobless, not receiving any monthly fix income at all. good thing, i have at least some freelancing work that somehow gives me a little income to cover small expenses. just like what you have feel, i too also feel that i wasted my opportunity because i choose to help, assist and be with my family for our business. but, everything was put in vain. wishing if i could only turn back the time then i will not go back anymore at this road where i was fell.

There's so many... I think not really nagging my friend Elaine to go to the doctor sooner...

You haven't wasted your life. You have your son and your guy friend who loves you. And you have me, a good friend. My biggest regret is assuming that what happened at school was my punishment and that if I told my mom she would say as such. So by the time I told my mom it was time for me to die because I had no idea what I was suppose to do , she was shocked and heartbroken. It was only a year after that I told her and she said she would have taken me out of that school and into another! And that is when she told me I was ok Not to know what you wanted to do and she needed me to live.

My deepest regret I can't put down here. Suffice it to say it was a bugger. Other regrets are not spending enough time with loved ones who are gone now. I feel like I help the young people on Mylot sometimes. Advise to the love lorn and all that. Relationship 101. I am sorry you feel these regrets. I am at a place in my life where I just don't care anymore. I was trying and doing things and now I just don't care. And in the Winter months it is even worse. I have SAD so it is a rolling coaster ride at best. I think a part of your problem may be depression. You have alot going on and I hope you don't make yourself sick and that things turn around for you in the Spring.

My deepest regret is probably getting married. I am going on my second divorce because some men can not be faithful. I was the faithful one in both marriages but when they become over the faithful one is the one they pack tails about. One thing about it I have moved on with my life. I never want to get married again but now have found a good man that is worth taking the plunge with. To old to have children with him so I have missed out and wasted alot of time on useless men.

In my life i also went through many things or situations,i could not do some things though i have the skills to do it.I dont feel regret becox if i were really to do that then that thing will definetly completed by me.If that one is not to be done by me then why shoudl i regret.Some times life is so ,we do not get anything out of being regret for something .Have a nice time.

What about helping Veterans? I would think they would let you have it online could they stop you really? but it is harder as you say to take advice online then it is face to face. But we can be freer online with ourselves then face to face. Your body might be disabled but your mind isn't. Have you put your services out there on bulletins and such? DO you have to be registered?

I have a lot of regrets. My biggest regret was deciding to get out of the Navy. I let things make my mind up for me. I miss it, even after 15 years. My got out a few years after I did, but he joined the guard. I don't mind being a stay at home mom, just miss they every day conversations I had with people. Babysitting helped give me extra money, but it wasn't the same.

I am a career-minded person, giving high priority to the job. In fact, in the course of my career, I had changed jobs a few times. That's where my deepest regret was, leaving the job which had all the possibilities to reach my career goals. I do have a good job now, but had I stayed on with the previous job, I would have advanced more.

Hi, It's like this regret and guilty feeling will haunt me for the rest of my life. My dad was terminally ill and his condition was getting worse. My whole family was at the hospital while I was still on my way being caught up in the traffic jam. Just as I was about to enter his cubicle, I heard loud cry outs and I knew that he had passed away. I didn't get the chance to express my love during that last moment.How I wish I had arrived earlier.

I have so much regrets in my life. although I can not divulge everything here, I gain relief just to say this. Life is so complicated and more so when we keep this regrets in our life. We have to move on. I really wonder why regrets exists.

Not leaving home sooner when I was stronger. I feel I had very bad influences living there and I should had get out when I wanted. I still did, but years later and when I was in a place that it wasn't good for me. I went back to listening to my intuition and if I heard that when I was 17 I would have left home, many things wouldn't happen if I did, they were all destructive and pointless. But it won't happen again, I always listen to intuition cause when I don't I always go to the wrong path. I know life is though but when we don't listen we go through a path of pointless rough things that hurt but doesn't teach anything.

I have so many regrets in life. :( So many that I want to re arrange it if I can. As to your regret, why do you think you can't offer free counselling sevices here in internet? I want a friend who is willing to listen! :) In my case, most of my friends don't want to listen because as they say, they have their own problems. I will be glad if you are willing to listen to me and I am also here for YOU if you want to..

My deepest regret is I dare not express my love to a girl who I love for three years. Now we're leaving because of differet universities. Maybe we can't meet again.In university, I sent a message by cellphone to tell my emotion for her and she thanks for my love. We can't get together and she can't accept mylove.I think I should tell that earlier.Thinking of it, I feel regret deeply.

My deepest regret would be not spending more time with my Mom when I had the chance. She was very lonely toward the end of her life, but I was so busy & caught up with what was going on in my own life that I paid very little attention to her. Now more then anything I wish I had the chance to spend some time with her, call her more etc. etc. but of course now it's too late & I am left with nothing but regrets.

My deepest regret is taking out another mortgage when I already had my house paid off in full. I could have handled my money problems in some other way.

My deepest regret is letting my dad have such control over my life. My father ran my life and made decisions that affected me for the rest of my life. I am minus one child due to my father forcing me to get an abortion... if I had been stronger and not afraid of being tossed out on the street (as per his threat) I would have told him to go straight to hell.
