I regret not bonding with my family when I had the time to do so as a child, but I was too dumb to know. I know it's not too late yet but there's a few obstacles in the way and I don't think it's going to happen. I would had loved to be loved by them and do so back but they were never going to do so wholeheartedly.

i regret not knowing a good art pirate site that wouldve saved me alot of time back when i was a teen and also telling my bff i like her romantically

I regret wasting so much time and becoming essentially a hermit during quarantine so much so that I still don't go out. I'm still processing things, slowly quitting the internet, slowly trying to see what should I do with my life. I know it's never too late but it's been bothering me how slow paced I am about it.

I regret giving so much time and effort to strangers on the internet, I'm talking about daily imageboard usage, watching too much youtube, and having bad online friendships. I see myself as an immature idiot and I could had stopped these earlier if back then I knew what I know now.

I will say this unpopular opinion here but I don't think anyone is that mature in their 20s. I was a stupid wreck at 18, 20, 22, 24, etc. It's only now that I'm starting to sort my mind out, I regret being an idiot. A friend of mine once told me that your 20s are a second adolescence and you only start living in your 30s, boy oh boy.

I regret always dismissing my grandma calling me everyday as a pre-teen/teen and trying to hurry her up. She ended up overdosing on anti-depressants and I hate that I never noticed, I feel so guilty not spending more time with her.
I know it's not my fault but I wished I could have made her happier and give her more company while she was still here.

I'm very sorry to hear that nonna, I hope you're okay

I am okay now, it's just I thought of her being like that as an old lady/grandma thing, realizing that she was depressed the whole time really made me see her as a whole person instead of just "my grandma" like I did as a kid and now I make sure to talk to elderly women more often and know more about them. It really made me reevaluate how I see older women and their "quirks".

Telling Frank Hassle i had a celeb crush on him and sending him a pic of me in his merch shirt (he ghoste me)

I regret starting an overly restrictive diet when I left school (thanks for the encouragement pro ana tumblr! ugh), I was not even remotely fat but it resulted in over a decade of binge/restrict cycles. I never had to worry about my weight or eating habits until after that, what a fucking retard I was.

Also regret quitting several sports at various times in my life. I still love them now but don't have the time or ability to get good. Teenage me was so ungrateful for the opportunities my parents gave me, that shit was expensive and I just acted like I was being inconvenienced by having to go to practice smh.

I'm literally itt because I outgrew my action and I'm no longer into him… what is your problem

If it makes you feel better, there was this one time I was fucking around on Skype after getting my celeb crush's email address from an fan email reply he sent me, and I had the retarded "funny" idea of typing "I'm gonna kidnap you" into the chat message field, then put my hand above the Enter key while giggling like an idiot, and like a fucking moron, I ended up accidentally pressing it. I panicked so hard.
Luckily, I quickly looked up if it was possible to delete Skype messages before the other person could see them and that's what I did, before it was too late (I hope he didn't see it or found out how to see removed messages)

i regret sending a message with a typo and a misspelled word when contacting support.

I regret being an avoidant asshole and ghosting people even though I liked them. I met a girl last year, we clicked immediately as we had so much in common, we added each other on Facebook and when she sent me a message I never answered out of anxiety, I feel like a gigantic retard.

Throwing and giving away stuff because I thought I didn't deserve it, tried living in the moment, didn't look good on me, etc. Don't listen to Mary Kondo

I regret a lot of things I did as a teenager

Right now I regret every good thing I ever did for my mother because her pickme ass still hates me and snaps at me for no reason (actually the reason is that I don't have a dick)

All the stupid shit I've done in the past 5 to 10 years

I regret removing my braces with pilers back in my early teen years since they were so painful and made me incredibly miserable to eat anything. Now I ended up having an under bite with jacked up teeth and wasted my mom's money. I have never been more insecure to smile.

I regret not brushing my teeth more often as a child because now I have cavities in my molars. I wanna go back in time and force my child self to brush her fucking teeth.

I regret talking to that 47yo moid when I was 14 because I was lonely and retarded

Same, nonna. I was so excited to get mine off that I took them off too early and then also didn't wear my retainer. Now my teeth are fucked up again and my parents wasted thousands of dollars.

I regret not taking kumon classes anymore, I solved math problems in less than a minute and now I struggle with the easiest shit. I want to go back and be less stupid sob

I’m kinda glad my parents were degenerates who got insurance to pay for my metal braces and then financed my Invisalign but never actually paid more than like 1/4 of the cost before defaulting kek. I don’t feel bad about not wearing my retainers. I do wish I could get Invisalign as an adult cause my teeth are kinda crooked but honestly when I complain about my teeth everyone except my mom is like “your teeth are crooked? Really?” And then they inspect me like a horse and conclude some manner of “huh, they are a little crooked yeah, never noticed” and either tell me to not worry about it or even say it is a quirk that makes me cuter. My mom encourages me to get Invisalign but I kinda think it’s because she has a lot of self hatred and my teeth are crooked in almost the exact same way hers are crooked. It’s purely cosmetic and there’s nothing that is causing dental issues (the reason they were able to get insurance to pay for metal ones is cause a speech therapist told them it was what was causing my lisp even though it wasn’t, they were planning to wait and put me in Invisalign for cosmetic reasons because they thought metal braces were barbaric but that speech therapist made them feel like they were neglecting me if they didn’t put me in metal braces at fucking age 9).

>finally meeting a real retard who had to go to the Kumon learning centers where even the logo was the face of a downsie kid
You couldn’t waterboard this info out of me, kek. Anon you just admitted to being a retard, no regular child has to go to those to do their schoolwork.

choosing the cheapest college instead of the best college. the one i’m going to is good, but sometimes i hate myself for not saving more when i was a kid.
