Regrets
 

It just felt appropiate right now. Everyone has regrets, and many will want to say them out loud, get them out of their chests.
I regret never having seen Sinatra or Dean Martin in person. But most of all, I regret never having been able to say Tenet goodbye.

I regret I didn't spend much of my time with my mom is Canada during summer. I only could go back once a year or two.

I regret not seeing my father (who lives in Oregon) this year. He is 76. The way business is going, I probably won't get to see him until next Spring...if I am lucky.
He doesn't own or use a computer, so the telephone and letters are my only channel to him. I wish he was on the net.

I regret not being able to express my full intent/ point/ stance when the situation arises. My mind is usually too busy studying other things like the mannerisims, habits, reactions, inactions, and underlying intentions of others (which often causes problems). When I was young I didn't really participate in social interaction, but rather studied it between others, which led to my current situation. =/

I regret getting to know a group of people who hung around my friend. I felt happier before I got to knew them.

Sorry to double post I noticed my spelling error.

Damn I regret doing that.

^_^

Sin, I regret you doing that too.
:D

Uh...what exactly does Mr. Swanson know? Or do you just enjoy perplexing people to death?
:)

I regret not helping my mom after her surgery...

I regret giving up hope when someone I loved lay in a coma. Hope may have spelled the difference. Ya never know........

BlackButterfly-that was well said, and don't feel alone in that department. I don't care how young or old you are-it is a hard thing to be true. Kudos you found that in yourself!
This is a sad fuckin thread-but honest. I have lived a lifetime with people that said(or posed)they never regretted a damn thing. I do not find that to be true for most of us. Thats how we learn and move on. Killer cool for you guys to be so honest about it.
And sorry you all had so much shit.

I have a few things I believe I need to get off my chest.
I first and foremost regret almost every underhanded, sneaky, cheating move I have ever made. All the little cut-bys, all the little sabotages, all the little, "I swear on scouts honor", bullshit. I regret that. Why? Because even though I could have done the job, I just had to cheat.

I also regret every bullshit lie I've told on the internet. A lot of people think, "Oh, it's the internet. Who cares?" Well. I do. Why? Because it stacks up after a while. After a while you've lied so long, you forget what you were lieing, so you have to lie more, just to keep up the old lies. Then it comes down to the people who I lied to. People, who were confident enough they didn't have to lie, and I simply told them every line of shit I could think of.

I regret always having to take the inverse of a debate, simply because I wanted to show I could flex my intellectual muscles. It ended up offending everyone, even though I insisted I was only playing "Devil's Advocate". Sometimes I wonder if I would have been better off just to leave the arguement as it is, and not bother.

But, the thing I regret most is, that I spent so much time inside. While other kids were outside playing in the streets, I was on the internet, surfing. Reading. Learning about how great the world was. And yet, never actually going out to experience it.

I regret not playing with my sister on the days when all her friends were busy. I'd always make up some excuse about homework, partly because I knew she'd want to play dolls and I honestly never cared for dolls at all myself and partly because, well, she was my little sister, it's pretty normal to say no. Looking back though... I realize that I hurt her which is the last thing I ever wanted to do. Now I can't even apologize to her, let alone find some way to make up for it. I just feel so horrible. I knew she was dying, but... I never thought it'd actually happen. It's prety much the only thing I would go back and change if I could; I'd be nicer to my sis.

Its a different world now though. A lot of us sit inside in front of our screens. I totally got what you said about intellectualizing and the b.s. I'd start debates on boards because I thought I was so dam smart and funny. Truth be told-I wasn't-at all. The fact that some of us hide from the outside world and still put on facades in cyberworld-yeah, I think that we all are demented. lol But we are demented together. The fact we recognize our weaknesses is great stuff. Just remember to recognize the killer strengths.

I regret that I didn't spend as much time as I could with my grandparents when they were both still alive. Now, looking back, it makes me feel sad how much time I had that I could've spent with them. :(

I regret being rude to my family members.
I regret not knowing my paternal grandmother before she died.
I regret falling into self-harm now it's damn hard to get completely out.
I regret thinking that I have to be friends with people that aren't even nice.

I do enjoy throwing around the odd cryptic phrase. Maybe 'Mr. Swanson knows' means something to me...or perhaps I just used a random phrase as a change from 'Minky Monthly'?

I might regret it, if it loses it's mystery :D

I regret trying so hard to be friends with people in school, even when I knew they were just going to backstab me.
I regret every time I've ignored common sense and the advice of my few good friends and ended up the worse for it.

I regret eating that cupcake. I feel so tubby now.

I regret not spending time with my sis back home. I miss her so much now and I feel terrible for all the times I blew her off so I could go listen to music or read a book.

I regret not having taken Dual Credit classes.

I regret the long ago past, attempting to be someone who I wasn't.

I regret.. . not giving a relationship between a friend of mine and I a better chance.

I regret betraying that same friend, by fleeing fearfully from my emotions for her, and developing new ones with my now current boyfriend, leaving the friendship practically in ruins.

I regret having used physical illness as a way out of social communications, and losing those certain peoples through my misanthropical behaviors.

Well HELL! I get the bills in the mail and now I REALLY, REALLY regret getting my wife a gold card added on to my account! GRRRRRRR!!!! (watches vacuum hose snake out of the envelope and vacuum every dollar out of my pockets...)

OMG Humane-If you have THE gold card-don't whine.lol I have to make a choice this pay between a Thanksgiving turkey dinner for my family(and I'm a vegetarian) or joining the Despair Faction.lol turkey or davey???

I regret that I didn't get to meet Synyster Gates last Tuesday after the show.
And may your wife-shop on. *evil support for the wives of the board*

Right now I regret that I hooked up with someone outside my lifestyle. Opposites do attract and then they systematically work to destroy on another. I'm feeling the effects of this action at this very moment and it really sucks.
