What Are Your Regrets In Life ?
What are some things that you regret doing/saying or not doing/saying ?
I'll go first!
- I regret having to push a lot of my friends who care about me &wanted to help me because I let my depression take control of me.
- I regret not speaking up more when I felt wronged, had something important to say, and it caused me to miss out on great friendships.
- I regret not believing in my capabilities, intelligence, and physical attractiveness.
- I regret being [i]too[/i] nice/lenient to people who don't deserve a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc., chances.
- I regret not taking advantage of being able to go to college.
I feel like I regret a lot of things, but now when I take the time to look back on it, I know I have room for improvement &I know that i'll fight to find a balance in my life so I can be a better version of me !
What about you little Basil leaves? Care to share?

I don't regret anything since I can't change the past.
[quote=marauder21]I'm wondering, why does keeping your emotions to yourself mean you aren't being honest with yourself?[/quote]
Because when you don't discuss what you're going through with others, your emotions get blurred, it's easy to let the worst ideas take root and overtake you and then you act on them without realizing how far from what's happening your thoughts have become. It's weird but keeping things to yourself just makes it impossible to deal with them properly.

You are not alone.
Especially when you just want that 3.8 GPA and the thing you learned is never going to help you in life.
Like in Math class we learned about Geometric proofs.
Then on the SAT there was not a single question that asked....
On the ACT there is but, there is

I regret playing Maple but what doesnt kill you makes you stronger
Nothing I regret now but I may regret my bad work ethic in the future. The reason I say "may regret" is because I am trying to fix it.

@JustBeHonest: Not even a little thing? It doesn't even have to be serious honestly. Like, you regret that one haircut or eating that one type of food. Lmfao.
