[Guest]

what are yours?

 

[drksideofthemoon]

what are yours?

That my mother never lived to see how I turned out...

 

[rgraham666]

That I denied myself for so long, refused to recognize the person I an.

 

[matriarch]

None, because regrets are pointless. Leave the past behind and move on.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

More than I can count. I regret almost everything I've ever done. I know I shouldn't, but everything just seems like a mistake and that I could have done it better, and should have.

 

[scheherazade_79]

That I spent a lot of my life being told who I was by other people.

 

[elfin_odalisque]

That I didn't reach out early enough and trust people.

My experience now of trusting those that say they want to be friendly has changed my life for the better. I still keep the incisors sharp for the pirhanas though.

 

[Seamus123]

...but then again, too few to mention.



Lots and lots of regrets. I think that if I had a chance to do everything again, i'd do almost everything differently.

 

[impressive]

Any time that I've not been true to myself.

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

Almost without exception, what I regret most are the omissions in my life, not the commissions.

No regrets here. Giving in to regret is like digging a hole that you'll never get out of. Every day is a chance to be a better person. Be a better person, or hell, uapologetically be the same old asshat. Just embrace you. You made bad decisions? You were a douche? You acted like a crazy fucker? Own it!

The biggest regret I have right now is not being there when Gabrielle left us.
I can't explain the circumstances to why, but the pain and guilt I feel is something that I can't remove and though my Love understands and has forgiven me, I just cannot forgive myself.

what regrets I have are related to things I did NOT do, for the most part. The only regrets related to things I did do are when I have hurt someone. Not physically, but emotionally.

One woman in particular, who remains dear to me (as I believe I do to her) despite the fact that I almost callously broke her heart in my despair over the ending of a prior relationship. Although there is obviously still love there, she will never trust me again...nor do I blame her for that. More than 15 years later, I still regret hurting her.

i regret my blind faith in people who dont care about how badly they've hurt me.
savagely, i regret that it hurts.

Regret is "I should have, I would have, I might have IF..." Regret emphasises the "I" in the equation. Your faith by the way Vel? It is never blind (edit to add keep it).

you make me smile, beautiful.

 

[Chantilyvamp]

Only one regret ever! Keeping my silence about what/who I am.

The rest, no regrets. Its been a hell of a lot of fun along the way, the pain its just a side affect that passes with time. And the peope I have met along the way make it more than worth it.

 

[CharleyH]

I LOVE YOUR SMILE and am more than happy to elicit it sometimes.

I agree with Bel that my regrets are only things I didn't do.
I regret nothing I've done because it's brought me to this good, better place I'm in now.
I do regret pissing away opportunities and not saying things when I had the chance, but at the same time, I learned to take those opportunities now, and to tell people things I want them to know now, while I can.
Regrets are only a way of learning that every day is a new chance at a new life.

All regret is "I" as I said (in no order) did not - could have, should have, should NOT have, might have and would have IF ... I agree that regret is learning ... in a way regret is nothing more than human learning, no?

 

[carsonshepherd]

As long as you don't keep repeating the same mistakes!

 

[CharleyH]

I dunno LOL - greater history does - so what makes us think we will not?

 

[Nirvanadragones]

I still have the plane ticket to the States - Arrival date: 21 March 2006.

I should have taken that flight.

I regret that I chose the chili stew and not the poached fish on the lunch menu today. I still have the burpsies at midnight.
