biggest regret?

Question

What is your biggest regret??

Answer 1

I once befriended a kid on the bus ride to school. His name was Kevin. He had a slight learning disability. Nobody else would talk to him because he was poor and he didn't have
nice clothes, and he wore the same thing every day. But he was nice, and people didn't realize it. However, after he moved on to 9th grade, and I on to 8th, I made different friends. When I joined him in high school, I was still hanging out with the friends I made in 8th grade. One day, while I was with these friends, Kevin came up to me and said hi. My friends started to laugh, and said, "you know this guy?!"

I don't know why I did it, but I just ignored Kevin, and I kept walking with my friends. Those guys weren't my friends for long. I began to realize that they weren't the type of people I wanted to be around. But I would see Kevin always sitting alone in the lunch room, and I could never go up to him after I had hurt him like that. I regret the fact that I would not say hi to Kevin, and the fact that I let my former friends pressure me into ignoring him. I could tell by the way that Kevin said hi to me that he had been waiting for me to join him in high school. I will not ever let myself be pressured like that again.


One more regret, that I hold equal to the above, was when I was hugging my grandpa for the last time. I don't know why, but I was never able to tell him I love him. The truth was that I loved him deeply. He was the person I most looked up to. I always get hung up when I want to say I love someone, even my parents. It's a problem of mine that I can't get rid of...

Answer 2

I can't narrow it down to one, so I'm listing all three:

1.) "Coming out" as bisexual when I was only 15 years old.

Not only did I lose what few friends I did have, I made many decisions that put my life on the line (unprotected sex with promiscuous adult men, ran away across the country...).

That decision - along with its consequences - also destroyed what little I had of a family. To this day, we rarely talk on the phone for more than 5 minutes. The connections are gone.

I should have waited until I was more sure of my feelings. By the time I was 18, I realized I was straight. I payed a big price for that.

2.) Dropping out of high school and starting college not once, but twice, at schools that were a totally wrong fit for me. Being a drop out, my choices were limited.

At 22, I'm finally starting a program at a reputable school in September.

3.) Not facing my "issues" as a teenager. Instead, I'm facing them now - at 22. For the last 6 years, I've been in a hole of isolation.

Having spent the last six years primarily in shitty schools and dead end jobs with almost no friends is very hard to live with.

One positive has come out of this: I am happily married now. She knows everything about me, and accepts me. She is my first real friend. I'll never be able to thank her enough for that.

Answer 3

I opened my mouth and let out a secret that ended my career. I wake up crying sometimes, had nightmares for a month and still berate myself into tears and wishing I was dead. If only I had not made that phone call, I would be making lots of money at a job I loved. Now I am miserable every stinking day of my life. Just a few weeks ago, I felt like the biggest idiot and wished I was dead. I am the biggest idiot on the face of the earth and feel it every day.

Answer 4

For me there is not a biggest regret, if I label one as the biggest, then I think of another, and then another, I've made allot ot mistakes in my life, I wish I could fix them.

Answer 5

My biggest regret is not telling the guy i liked that i liked him sooner. He told me that he liked me for the whole year a couple days before school got out, and i will never see him again.

Answer 6

I have learned to live life, acknowledge my mistakes, and do better the next time around. Honestly, I have no regrets because according the plan God has for my life every single thing that happens will ultimately lead me to where I'm supposed to be if I seek His will in all things.

Answer 7

Getting close to cheating on my boyfriend..but I didn't do it!!But I regret sooooo much even thinking about it!!

Answer 8

Not getting up when I should have done as a kid - in return I got the whole hog come down on me and its kinda hard!

Answer 9
