Did you ever need to tell somebody something & missed your chance?

Question

If so, what was it?

Answer 1

Yes.Many years ago.My only regret.*sigh*

Answer 2

yes. but sometimes even when a question on its face could be legitimate it very clearly isn't because of other questions posted by the same person, and on those i will sometimes say something. on a question like the one you mention, though, if i believed the person was making it up but couldn't be certain i would refrain from answering at all because of the seriousness of the subject matter. if the question is on a less sensitive issue and i'm pretty sure they're a troll i'm admittedly sometimes a little less circumspect. i think most of the time i've got a decent sense of when somebody is making stuff up, and if anything i probably err more on the side of thinking they're for real when they're not. earlier today i did answer a question seriously that i had a nagging suspicion was from a troll, just because i thought the issue was worth discussing regardless of the person who posted it. *i could not agree more with eli's mommy's point that there is often a lot going on in people's lives that we don't know about and if we did we'd be inclined to cut them more slack.

Answer 3

Well I have two missed chances. One was funny the other was heartbreaking for me.
Funny-
My friend and I were sitting and waiting for our names to be called to go up and collect an award for our cheerleading Comp. She stands up first and I am still sitting down so I have a perfect view of her butt. As I was going to push her to the side I notice that she has a huge reddish stain all over her butt and leg. I realize that she had started her period. Right then her name is called and she starts walking up to the front of the room. Oh and may I add that the room is filled with 1500+ ppl including the news and photo grapher for the newspaper. So ne ways she starts walking up to the front of the room and I try and say Jenna, Jenna , Jenna wait... I have to tell you somthing. But she couldn't here me over the clapping and cheering. So that is my funny story of missing a chance to tell someone something very important.
HeartBreaking-
My best friend and I have known eachother ever since we were born. We always treated eachother as just friends and nothing more. But when I got into 7th grade I started feeling like I liked him more than just friends. But I never told him cause I didn't want our friendship to be ruind if he didn't feel the same way. So then in 8th grade he got his first girl friend. I was so happy for him yet I was really heartbroken b/c I liked him even more then the year b4. So him and his gf go out for a while and then break up at the end of school and decide to just be friends over summer. So during the summer of 8th grade him and I are together all the time. I start liking him more and more. I feel like its love but I wasn't really sure. So ne ways in august he comes to my door and says he needs to talk to me about some thing. I let him in and we sit on the couch. He tells me hes moving to florida and thats along ways away cause we live in California. So I bust into tears and hug him and almost tell him how I feel but then don't. I had this really wierd feeling inside of me and thought that I really needed to tell him but I just skiped over it. So he moves to florida and one day I get a phone call from his parents about 2 months ago. His mother is crying and she tells me that my best freind forever died in a car accident with his father. His parents are devorced so he was driving to his dads house and a drunk driver slammed them head on going 65 miles per hour in a 40 mile zone. My best freind died instantly.... It was the sadest day in my life. I will never forget my feeling for him.

Answer 4

yeah ur lifestory

obviously isnt that why u have fatalists and the fact that life is a probabliity tree with consequence like in "Lock, Stock and 2 Smokin Barrels" where humans not being evoluntionally capable of stomaching milk lead to the car crashing, American getting the daimond and stuff.

Nothing's unconditional in the words of Bravery.

Answer 5

Yes,...I didn't tell someone that "I loved them too," because I was a scared kid. Now, .....I am 43-years-old, and I know I missed the chance at having the love of my life.

So, in a nutshell, say what is on your mind or in your heart; because you may never get the chance to do it again.

Answer 6

Yeah i missed the chance to give Hannibal Lectar Ian Huntley's address !

Answer 7

yes i am trying to find the right time to tell someone something at the moment but it never comes out and i know i cant leave it to long or it will be to late and i dont want to lose this chance

Answer 8

The guy who gets the 7:40 train to wimbledon from teddington and wears a green jacket, you're hot xXx

Answer 9

yeah but just as well- alot of the time i change my mind about them afterwards

a few times it's been worse after telling them whatever it is i hadn't told them yet

& it's usually something like saying "i love you" to a friend i still want to be friends with, but the words then breed misunderstanding... i pretty much just leave whoever it is to to just figure it out for themselves

Answer 10

my mother-she died from complications of Diabetes about 8 years ago and I wasn't able to be there during her last breath. I wish I could have told her I loved her one last time and held her until that last moment.

Answer 11

Many times
The biggest one was when i wanted to say sorry to someone before they left. I left it too late and i haven't seen them for about 12 year's.
