Not one thing. Every word and every action, even the mistakes...have led me to a greater understanding of myself and my place here on the big spinning ball of dirt. NO REGRETS!

I don't really have regrets, there are plenty of things I've done which I shouldn't have and feel remorse for, but I still don't exactly regret them as such.

In grade school I threw a plastic football at a girl. It hit her, and she cried. My only defense is that some other boys goaded me into doing it. I never apologized either, I felt so bad and embarrassed about it. It bothered me a lot for a long time. Perhaps I learned from it, but I still wish I never did it.

Can't think of anything in particular. There are a few things that I've done that I regret, but none of them stands out enough.

I regret nothing. Every decision I have made in my life has led me to this place in the world. I enjoy my life and my friends.

Hmmmm...perhaps staying involved with a certain person for a year, when I should have dumped them a few weeks into the relationship.

I regret that I didn't take my education seriously enough in High School.

there really isn't anything that i regret, that being said, i had a seven yr. relationship that i left(about 4-5 yrs ago)that i wish i had ended differently but at that time, i was incapable of doing anything more different then i did. so i don't regret it, i was disappointed in my ability to deal with the situation.
i don't regret anything that i have done because i feel if i had to do things over with the same information and emotional age, i would do things exactly as i have done them. i also feel i acted and reacted in the best way i could have through out.
i think this is a good survey although i don't like surveys that don't have choices.

Cliche as it may sound, I have no regrets. I think everything happens for a reason -- for a lesson. I have done some things that were immoral, illegal, and downright stupid -- but I'm better now!

I have been disappointed by how infrequently I own up to my own emotions. When I *do* own up to them, I have been disappointed at how often I become overwhelmed to the point of not being able to act on them.

Yeah..I can see it now. "This meeting of the INFJs comes to order. Who'd like to speak first?" (Followed by shrugs and sideways glances)

Wow, anonymous. That's pretty heavy. Unless she's dead, it's never too late.

Not finishing college, although I try not to focus on regrets. While different choices in the past may have gotten me closer to where I'd like to be professionally right now, I realize that I've learned and experienced many good things BECAUSE of the choices I've made in the past. If I had the chance to go back and change it, I'm not sure that I would. Who's to say that any other path I could've chosen would have ended up being any better?

I am getting tired of all the false optimism around here. karmakat: YES, things can be done in a relationship that make it too late to get that relationship back. She could be happily married, dead, or just not interested in talking to anonymous any more.

elijahblue: you never know until you try. But personally, maybe you should try a little optimism. It may not change a thing, but it sure makes it easier to get through the days.

elijahblue, I'd like to say that I agree with you on this one, there are thing that make it "too late" in relationships.

  • SOMETIMES It is just too late and NOT meant to be!

    I am also of the opinion that karmakat may come to regret the "attitude adjustment" survey. That was just a horrible way to go about trying make a point.

    I don't regret anything I've done. But there are those times when I wish I would've stopped to take a breath and enjoy high school. Heck, I still have a few days to enjoy it. Wish me luck at graduation! :)

    It really is too late. She is married and with a kid so I hear. To not have let her get away would have meant dropping out of school. Since I have a career in my degree now, things would be a lot different.

    During my first "relationship," I regret not keeping a clearer head about how I felt about my boyfriend. I liked him because I thought he liked me, and I liked the feeling of having a boyfriend. After he dumped me, I realized it would have *never* worked, and we're better off as friends. I'll set my standards higher next time.
