What do you regret the most?

[Polish3d]

I regret a few things, but one of them is this:


I have a younger sister, younger by three years. When we were really little, we used to be really close and she looked up to me a lot, and trusted me. When I got a little older, I began teasing her a lot like douchebag older siblings often do. I feel horrible when I think about how I broke that trust and she must have been so confused about why this person who she looked up to, trusted and used to care for her now found joy in teasing her and pissing her off

If that is all you got, consider yourself lucky. There are a few things I regret, that I can't even think about.. I just have to bury it every time it wants to pop into my head.

living in the past...

 

[Journer]

nothing can be done so why worry about it? if you understand the situation at the time and use the results to better yourself than good. if not, meh, shouldn't affect you

1. Slacking off my first two years of college, I finally have a good job but it took me two years of jumping job to job to land this.
2. Same as OP, I was a douche to my sister..it made her stronger though, and she can crush me anytime she wants (verbally...she's absurdly smart and witty it scares me)

?. Not sure which # this would be, but it's my most recent one: not having any security or comprehensive insurance on the car that was stolen from my driveway 2.5 weeks ago ... no word from the cops (they don't care)

Not buying massive amounts of Nintendo and Apple stock when I had the chance to.

I don't have many major regrets. First one that pops into my head:

I regret how I treated one of my friends in high school. She was a cool girl. I was never really interested in dating her, but she was fun to hang out with. She invited me to prom, even mentioned something about going out with her friend afterwards who had a house at a "sex-clude... I mean secluded beach." May have just been a verbal gaffe, may have been a Freudian slip, who knows. The point is I told her I had no interest in prom and totally blew her off on it. I felt bad cause I didn't even realize it was a dick move until I got to college. And by then I had lost contact with her so I could never apologize. For what it's worth, I feel bad about it, and on the 3,000,000 to 1 chance that she reads ATOT, JK (her initials, not the popular abbreviation for just kidding), I'm sorry.

And I'm also pissed because it didn't occur to me until college that I totally could have scored. God dammit!

The main one's gotta be not learning to not live in the past (double-negative)...

tell me about it. I had a cumulative 2.9 (of 4.0) for my first year, didn't do much of anything to improve that this year, and last quarter I got just shy of a 2.0. Sigh, because of that one quarter (even though I still maintain a 2.7 or so) I lost my tuition pay from the Army for this quarter. damn scholarship stipulations. thats even more loan i need to pay back now.
yea, that's a big regret. not trying harder last quarter. prepared for this quarter though, thats for damn sure.

I started working for IBM in the summer of 1981. In the fall of 1981 IBM announced the PC, using MS DOS. In 1986 one of my co-workers suggested investing in Microsoft. I had very little money, and what I did have for investing I bought IBM stock through the employee purchase plan. While IBM stock did OK for me, had I taken even a 1/2 of this money and put it into MS stock I would be exceeding wealthy today, as my ex co-worker is.

Not being born to rich parents who have a knack for fostering talents through exorbitant output of both caring emotions and wealth while being classically trained by the major creative thinkers of the time, grooming myself for a brief period as an affluent artist, after which my social ties and deft political/philosophic manipulations would trigger a nonviolent, worldwide socio-intellectual revolution.

I pretty much regret that.

And spending too much money on CDs when I lived in an apartment.

I pretty much regret that.

Don't we all?

D'oh my regrets are exposed as false!

Not being at my mother's side the day she died and not telling her I loved her more often or talking to her and asking her about her life. I knew she was going to pass away soon, but I went to a party up in Los Angeles to see my wife's aunt go back to the Phillippines. My mom died that night.
