I don't have many regrets. The ones I do have are mostly small stuff--little things I wish I'd done or not done. But nothing big--all the big choices I've made I think have turned out for the best.

i really have no specific regrets. in general i guess, i regret ever hurting anyone but i also think that is a part of life....... no matter how hard you may try, someone will get hurt.

Regrets? I've had a few. But, then again, too few to mention.

When I was in the last year of High School,I was so depressed that I wanted to quit for a year,then get back to school the next or change kind of school.My parents told me that I couldn't.They didn't yell at me saying I had to obey them,but they made clear that it would be very disappointing for them (especially my father) if I'd quit school.They have always been good and liberal with me,so I felt like I owe them something and did what they told me to.I went through an year of hell,managed to leave high school after a good exam (which is pretty suprising)and became more and more depressed.I hate doing things I don't want to do.I'm not talking about going to work when you don't feel super-healthy and happy...if I can see something in the future which makes a present effort worthwile I'd do it.I didn't see it at the time,I didn't see a reason why I couldn't stop and rest for awhile.I just did what everybody expected from me and not what I wanted (not what I would like,see what I said before)to do.I hated myself for a long time and still am rancorous towards my parents even tough that comes out only when I'm very stressed out.
I took the decision that I only will do what I want to do,put myself first.At the beginning,when I was still very much depressed,this was the top of egoism and cynism,but I had to survive-now I feel better,and my cynic approach has changed,but still I won't do something I don't want to.Never again.

I have one big one.

But, as B told me- there is no sense in argueing over something we cannot go back and re-do. All we can do is try to make the best of what we have now.

Well, a few things. I lied about the stupidest thing over and over over the course of like a year and my little brother was also getting blamed.

I was evidently having a hyperactive spell one time in sun. school and told a rather misleading story without realizing it, and got myself a reputation of being a big blabber mouth.

Although both of these made me seem like a bad person, at least I've learned from them. Maybe I don't regret them.

I went to my aunt's apartment. I entered that room and thought 'How cool this dagger is' and started playing around with it. Then I heard her telling me not to touch anything in that room. When I asked her why she answered me it's because a girl used to live there and she died. Her parents or anyone else haven't touched anything in that room ever since she died. I felt terrible about it, but I haven't told anyone about it.

I have done a lot of thinking and have decided that it's best not to regret anything but regard it as a learning experience and as a passageway to where I am now. If I hadn't had failed relationships I would not be so thankful for the angel that steped into my life. If I had not had and lost my job I would never have met such wonderful people and learned so much about teamwork and friendships. If I had not been the crazy college co-ed who went out and drank and met people I would never have experienced the wonder of alcohol (come on and smile) and I would never have met some really nice people that I looked forward to running into each weekend. If I had never pursued an ex-boyfriend I would never have noticed that his new girlfriend was ugly and fat (call me spiteful but doesn't it just feel good to find out that he couldn't get anyone as good as you). Everything has a reason, no matter how warped it is. You just have to wait it out to see where the good begins.

There are things that I regret, but nothing that stands out. I'm not even sure if regret is the right word for me - I'm sorry that i did certain things, but I don't wish that I hadn't done them - my mistakes are part of me and I *have* learned from them, even when I've gone on to make the same mistake again. I don't think that I'd change anything.

Ooooh. I had to answer this once in a truth or dare many years ago, and the answer hasn't changed.
My ex-wife wouldn't divorce me for a long time. I had caught her cheating on me with her ex-fiance one night, so I was in no way going to stay with her - it was a young mistake on both our parts to get married (I was 20, she was 19.)
One drunken night, I drove by the house she was staying and acted like I wanted to make up with her. I cried and asked her how she could do this to me, all that crap. She consoled me, apologized, then I drove her back to our house (she had been gone for four months). We lived on the beach, so we took a blanket and did what we had always wanted to do out there some night, ANYwaaaay...
I drove her back to her place so she could pick up some of her things to come back home. When I parked in front of her place, she said she'd be just a second. I drove away.
When she finally showed up - a friend driving her - she knocked loudly on the door. "What the hell are you doing?"
I just said, "Now you know what it's like to get fudgeed." And I shut and locked the door.
She divorced me two weeks or so later, on Valentine's Day it was final, stole my sister's boyfriend out of her own spite, and ended up marrying the guy after me. I talked to him when I located him on Classmates.com last year! He said they had four kids and ten years of bad marriage. Ugh.

Keep in mind, I'm answering this to be 'the thing I regret doing the most'. I hate that I was that filled with the need to seek revenge. She was just a slutty nineteen-year-old girl who I fell in love with the first night I met her. She didn't deserve it, so I regret it.

Not marrying Laura Hilden. Or anyway not agreeing that she should move out east and live with me. I didn't want to get in the way of her education and career but now I realize it's more important to find a person to live your life with than to have a perfect career. She knew it then but it all seemed so sudden to me.
