Probably "regret."
With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done something differently.
Or I wonder whether I did the best thing, and that perhaps I could have done better, if I had only waited longer, or thought harder, or been more considerate, or gotten better advice.
The whole "What if?" thing can create a great deal of guilt.
It's a constant battle to tell myself that it's okay, I did the best I could (reasonably), and that it's simply what it means to be alive -- doing the best you can in the situation you're in, and embracing the outcome of that decision without fretting over what could or should have happened...

Not having a good memory to remember things when you are old. All the stuff that happened to you when you went to school the first time, when was your first dance, first kiss, etc. Things that make you smile about your youth. When we grow older we see ourselves in younger people thinking 'that was me out there when i used to look good and young, and boys were still after me'. My life is over now. I have kids, grandkids and i am getting old and there is no way you can do this again in this lifetime, no way to press rewind, etc. These thoughts strike me at age of 23 when i am nowhere even close to being mom or grandmom to that matter. I dont know just imagine how your grandparents think. Or other older people that sometimes give you a long look on a street looking out of their porches or windows. What you think they thinking about when they see a youngster running around with school books trying to pull this young girls pigtails....Man i daymn sure not ready to get old. Thats a terrible thought!

Guilt; it is very easy for other people to guilt-trip me into doing almost anything. Out of all the things I need to improve on in my life, getting over that feeling of guilt when I have no reason to feel it is one of the hardest things to do. I can tell you that to me it seems like I'm getting better about it, but you'd really have to ask my friends and family for the real answer.

Feeling like you are totally alone is probably the hardest emotion to deal with. Feeling like no one else understands you and no one wants to help is so hard to deal with.

Anger... I have ruined so many good relations with good people who were just being nice because I have a very difficult time with anger.
On a spiritual side though... Anger is a God given emotion. Little faith and I should be okay. The worst was when I was in the sand and at war with our Nation's finest... When you know you have shot and killed someone... Even in the name of war... the anger of life was overwhelming... My spirit was broken. I felt a part of me die. And then it just happend over and over... and the anger was more and more.
Yes... Anger.

Knowing that perfection exists, yet at the same time knowing that i, everyone, and everything will fall short from it.
