How many of you are here because of bad choices and overall being a bad person in the past/present?

[waterrrrrrrrrbottel]

I've made bad social choices which led me to here.

 

[Hollowman]

Yep I made a lot of bad decisions and I haven't been a very good person. If karma's real it would explain my situation.

 

[Barteljaap]

I don't believe in bad choices. We all did the best we could given what we knew at the time.

My bad decisions, i didn't choose right career, then kept thinking i don't want to do this, while not putting effort in anything else either, thinking for years i only know how to do this, and that it's too late for anything else, while not putting effort in that current career also, getting hooked on internet and just mindlessly wasting time, telling myself i am gonna kill myself soon enough anyway, i might as well enjoy, and here i am now.

How many of the choices in life are real? Decisions are affected by personality, upbringing, genetics, environment... All of them probably have little to choose. Life seems just unfolding itself from beginning to end.

 

[downndone2]

Yeah, lots of bad choices. Several years ago I ruined my life, lost tons of money, marriage, relationships, business, etc etc etc. I'll never recover

 

[Opichi]

Yeah. I grew up wanting to be saved from my dad yet I'm 24 now and exhibiting his behaviors. I'm not ready to go further than this. I'm just recreating the hell I had in my childhood.

I've made many mistakes. People tell me I'm still young and I can make up for them and this is normal, but I just can't let go of my past mistakes no matter how much I try to make up for them.

I'm here because I ruined a whole academic year because of procrastination (caused by anxiety... caused by an abusive relationship).

I'm here because I feel guilty, ashamed and scared of telling the truth to anyone.

It's a simple decision that I'm too scared to take.

 

[imlookingforward]

ive made a lot of poor decisions but it's mostly because of my upbringing i know my brain is fucked up and it's just too hard to fix the entire mess that is my life

I agree with this a lot. I used to ruminate a lot on my past failures and how it would be so much better if I did this or that. But I've realized that if I was capable at the time to do these thing, I would've done it. I didn't have the insight I have now. But all this just makes my downfall so much more inevitable. It makes me feel stupid for trying again and again.

 

[MissionSucksAssFul]

we have no free will, only the perfect illusion of it! that's why choices are a lie
further elaboration: every choice we ever made was influenced by what we believed and thought at the time, info which we only get from the past! Now because your choice is only past-influenced (and the past already happened, duh xD) you could never actually have chosen differently! hmu if this makes sense to you or if you want to discuss :)

 

[anonconfessions]

Everything I do feels like a missed opportunity. I feel like I have all this pressure on me and I keep making mistakes. I want to run away to another country but I know that is practically impossible, the only time I feel like I have control over my life is when I think about dying because at least then I have a choice. I don't want to die but sometimes it seems a helluva easier than living, it would feel better than feeling like a collusal freak up, my cowardice results in an absence of choices, I'm getting squeezes between two walks like orange juice, I am powerless putty, unable to do what I want yet incapable of becoming what others want me to be
