Regrets?

[Sixfeetunder]

Living as long as I did

Being born is probably my biggest regret or taking up someone's place who would've been more deserving.

In the end suicide is a big waste of time, money and affection people spent on you as a person. Part of me feels bad that all that money, all that effort, all those sleepless nights I spent studying, worrying about stupid things.. they would nothing when I stop breathing.

I regret the waste that this life has been if it makes sense.

Won't all those things be wasted if you died naturally anyways?

true but natural death won't be controlled by me, it wouldn't be out of defeat or frustration but because my body gave up and couldn't function. Which isn't the case right now

Not helping myself when it was easier and I had support. Losing that person through my own fault has made everything seem pointless. What's the point in being the person you should have been if it means living with regret

In that way, your mind which is part of your body technically gave up on living. So it's still your body giving up tbh.

You aren't dead till your heart gives up or your brain dead. I'm neither atm so I'm not dead

Not tgetting help in 6th and 7th grade when i was bullied from my former best friends and my class. should have changed the school that time. now its way to late because my social skills are completly destroyed. i cant even talk to anyone and look them in the eyes. always nervous as fuck when i have to talk with others because of my job.

I regret not taking steps to end things earlier. I'm doing that now though - if everything goes as planned I might just be gone before the end of January.

Dropping out of university, not accepting help and pushing people away. My life might have changed for the better at any juncture, but I made sure it didn't.

 

[SelfishMom]

I'm afraid my daughter has inherited all my mental illnesses and I'm afraid I'll screw her up more if I go. I'm not going to say I regret having a family because that word doesn't accurately describe my feelings.

Can anyone offer me advice on dealing/living with/moving on from regret. Especially if you can offer advice on regret of hurting somone you really did care about and would never intentionally want to hurt them but you did. Thanks

It's different for everyone. If you try and make an effort before you go to tie up loose ends, write out notes or have a journal, and express in small ways your appreciation for those around you, it might help. The thing I could offer is try many different combinations of these things and if after doing so, you experience some calmness or closure, then you are on the right track.

I've been told that there's no point in punishing myself. Also I see my ex frequently and they've moved on and have healed. So just know that they will be okay

Although it's not my "fault" and I had no choice, I regret being born. If i could go back in time and stop my parents from fucking and making me, that would be amazing :) lol

I regret being stupid, not working hard towards my dreams, listening to society that made me go for the wrong choices and being an economical failure. I don't really regret doing it so late, I saw some nice things before thanks to that time. Now it's my time to be nice to everyone.

 

[Miss clefable]

I regret being alive in this shit existence this shit we call humanity and my fucking body so yes I'm full of them

Not telling my wife the truth sooner than later.

 

[Journeytoletgo]

Aggressive ex that took advantage of my naivety years ago like 6 years ago. And my casual hook up. I regret it and I'm so happy I won't have to remember these mistakes once I'm gone

My biggest regret is being born in the first place, but I did not choose that so I cannot regret it. I guess I regret not ctb earlier as I would have spared myself a lot of suffering. I feel like many of the bad things that have happened to me were out of my control and there was nothing I could have done to prevent them really.

Easy. Trusting (and loving) the asshole who betrayed me and ruined my life. I have at least a hundred other major regrets in life, but that one wins by quite a margin.

As I've sat here thinking about what I regret, I don't know. No matter what I think I would feel this way to some extent. I regret staying as long as I have, I also regret staying in the same controlling relationship for over a year with someone I didn't even feel attracted to. But I pretty much wish I was never born in the first place...
