What did you miss out on?

[Anon1337]

Intimacy and friendships.

So much. I've missed out on my childhood, on experiencing happiness, missed out on enjoying my life and taking the opportunities I've always wanted to take, etc. I've legit missed out on so much due to my depression and mental state and I've wasted so much time when I could have been going after what I was passionate about. Ngl this is one of my biggest motivations for ctb and it's my biggest regret.

Being loved by anyone other than my Mom.

Being with him. Not like it would have happened but it could have. I can't date him because I can't deal with the idea of him putting up with me.

my parents split shortly after I was born, and recently (about 5 years ago) I spoke to both of them and they admitted that they regret ever having me. I spoke to them both separately, and they even went above and beyond and stated that they wished they could go back in time and stop themselves from ever having kids at all. So I guess I missed out on the unconditional love a parent should have for their offspring.

Missed out on having someone so close, even platonically, to share thoughts with. I realized early on I'm a very dependent person, yet increasingly grew afraid of people as I grow up to adulthood.
