lemme try to help. if you need to do something, start it now so you wont have to later. dont overwork yourself, you can take 5-10 minute breaks if youve done a good amount of work. if you want, get a lil candy to reward yourself :)

Not visiting my relatives when I was a teenager because I wanted to look "cold and distant". Now many of my amazing and loving aunts, uncles and grandparents are dead, and I would give up anything to go back in time and hug them.

Try searching up some refusal skills. They help quite a lot. If you don't want to search 'em up, here are the refusal skills. 1. Say "No" in a strong voice but calmly 2. Just leave the situation 3. Suggest another idea 4. Try changing the subject

When I bought my home, I put my husband on the deed even though the mortgage was in my name and my parents had given me the downpayment. He tried to get half when we divorced, but I reminded him that I paid off his student loans with my inheritance and he shut right up. I miss that house.

I started becoming intensely interested in boys crazy early, like third grade. I often wonder if I had managed to focus more on friends and becoming my own person, could I have avoided a lot of the emotional trauma of trying to have serious relationships so early in middle anf high school. I think I was seeking approval where it came most easily at that time. I lucked way out finding my husband and having a real, healthy partnership.

Staying with my family. My parents divorced and I stayed with mum, she overworked herself to the point where she had to retire early due to mental breakdown. Now she has crappy pension and (in her opinion) has to take care of Granny that can no longer walk. Since I started working along with attending Uni, I became far more straightforward and clearly say that I don't agree with that. She is exhausted and all she does is complain to me in the evening about everything at granny's. I love my family, they gave me and my brother what they could with the little we always had, but it's a while that I started to notice just how toxic this family actually is. Every little thing will either be ignored or start a both sided yelling fit, there is no room for healthy discussions, every time I wanted to raise a valid argument over something, it's ignored or I'm point blank told that someone like me (a stupid student that can't hold a job, I work with people, not really possible nowadays) should just shut up and leave if I don't like something and in the next breath they start to discuss when will we do the transfer of ownership of Granny's apartment (another issue altogether). I just can't, I'm exhausted, every little thing that happens at our place becomes my fault although I warned them it could happen. I just wish everything will be open again so I can at the very least escape to my job...

I once saw a squirrel that had somehow got the wire of a bird feeder stuck between it's two front teeth and was hanging helplessly. Without thinking I cradled it's little body and helped it free its teeth. Once free it spun round and sank it's teeth clean through the fleshy part of my palm . It then shook around for about ten seconds (absolute agony) before hurtling off up a tree. Oh how the nurse laughed as she gave me my tetanus shot!

Try this: set an alarm clock to go off after, say, 1 1/2 hours. Put the clock far enough away that you have to get up and walk to it. Make sure the alarm is a loud and obnoxious one that you will have no choice but to turn off. Once your face and mind are away from the screen it should be easier to quit.

I was my blind aunt's home health aide. She berated, was rude to me, and always tried to make me feel guilty for not giving her her pain pills when she wanted them. She would put me down to her friends and never was happy with anything I did. I knew I should have quit and gotten a different job, but I stayed and let her mistreat me. That was the worst decision of my life. I still suffer from low self esteem issues from that time in my life.

That sounds like a solid plan. Try not to worry about what you've spent - you can't unspend it. Focus on enjoying your purchases instead. I did the same with my first wage but I still have the watch I bought and I love it. It kinda reminds me about what I had to do to earn it. In a good way!

i got a lot of em.
repeatedly breaking the trust of those i love (not like commiting a crime, more like computer when not allowed).
Not taking my meds because "i can miss it just this once" and "eh i don't have water up here" or "i'm in bed already"
Less my fault, but not telling my mother that i'm not grabbing her because i'm joking around, i'm grabbing her because i have a bad headrush. if i'd told her, i wouldn't have hit my head on the table after fainting.
Overeating.
Staying up too late.
Not studying enough.
Not taking enough notes in class.
Procrastinating.
Breaking the "take care of yourself and your mental health and don't do dangerous things" contract.

I was on a toxic meme app for a while (it was full of racists, homophobes, transphobes ect.). I once posted something expressing myself (not a meme), big mistake. I'll tell you the full story, so, I am an insecure person, there's so many things I hate about myself and I wish I could change. I've never been open to my family about it and this was one social media platform that my family was not on. I've always kept it bottled up inside me for so long. I made a picture, just a blank picture with a text saying "when someone doesn't know how to respond to a compliment, it means they think you're lying to make them feel better, and when they compliment you it's because they don't want you to feel the same way they feel" and I posted it, on a toxic meme app...I got a lot of hate comments, only like 3 people actually cared. People were all just joking about it, but the worst thing is I actually started a huge argument because I was so pissed at these people, I was literally trying to express myself, and everyone hated me for it, and the one argument I was in was really ugly, this person kept calling me homophobic slurs and other mean stuff and then after everything calmed down they acted like it was nothing..

That's the shitty thing of internet... You will not get the response you hope for, i am sorry it backfired. But if you don't like yourself, wishing you were different, why don't you get some professional help? You don't have to tell anyone if you don't want to. It helped me, i wish i did it yeaaarsss ago. I worked so hard for others and denied my own needs and feelings, i had a massive burnout at 28. You yourself is the most important person in this world, be nice for yourself and for you to do that, you have to take care of yourself. And stop going to toxic forums, stop going to toxic anyting.

I went a bit too far with copying my classmates stuff. I wasn’t thinking. We both got called in for cheating. I nearly cried. Thankfully he was a really nice teacher and let me redo the assignment.

Not being born two weeks earlier than my actual birthday. My great grandpa passed away two weeks before i was born and i honestly hate myself for it. I wish i got to meet him everyday of my life and all of my other friends like to make fun of me for not being able to meet him. They all have met theirs though.

No need to feel bad about something you weren't in control of. Also, why the hell would anyone make fun of someone not getting to meet their great grandfather? How weird are your "friends"?

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

Giving up when I gained weight when pregnant with my son. It resulted in me continuing to gain weight after his birth. I became depressed after my son was born, but turned it in on myself instead of getting professional help. Had I done so, I would not be obese with high blood pressure, Type 2 Diabetes and bad hips, back, knees. My son also probably wouldn't weigh nearly 400lbs now...both of us struggling to lose weight and get healthy. I grew up in a household where problems with in the family were not discussed outside the family. I wish I'd been able to see how much going to therapy would have helped everyone around me.

In 2010, without really understanding what it was, I was going to buy $300 worth of Bitcoin but talked myself out of it...

Yep. Me too. It was a mystery and expensive for me at the time. An older guy that was painting on the job I was working at had a whole bunch and was going to teach me how to do it. I hope he's doing well now!

Started smoking cigs back in 2001. Stopped of course years ago but one of those things that I wish I never had. There was no reason that I did. I was depressed and lonely and wanted to do something rebellious.

Hey Pandas, what’s a SMALL bad decision you made? (Pandas proceed to list huge life altering giant choices they made, as expected.)

Tried to run away. My parents are keeping me very locked down, and I know it'd meant to be for my safety, bc I've tried to kms, but I still feel trapped in my house, and even though they're stopping me from kms, they aren't helping me not want to. Then my mom read my diary, and I was pissed. Dumbass me decided to not show up at my house after school and just started walking up the highway by my house,. I didn't really have a plan beyond getting to the city and either going to a homeless shelter or attempting to kms again. I got about a mile before I was stopped by an officer. I told him I was 19, he didn't believe me. He left and and another officer follow him, and when he asked my birthday and I said my own birthday but six years earlier, so he brought me back home. Now I'm homeschooled, but my mom said I might be able to go back next year, but some of my friends are leaving so I might never see them again. By far the dumbest and most immature decision I've ever made.

Saying no to opportunities when I wanted to say yes. But I was afraid to....look stupid, be uncomfortable, not know what I was doing.....yadda yada. Now there are things I cant do because of age and health....

To all you moaning about not getting into Crypto, my dad tracked a single share of polaroid stock for a class the month they released the instant camera. He didn't actually invest, of course... he sure wished he had. Anyway, there will always be gambles that pay big that most people will miss, and honestly I'm just as glad to not be party to the pump and dump schemes of crypto backers and I am very glad I didn't get caught holding the bag for NFT'S.

I should have asked for his number instead of just giving mine. There was so much going on in his life that I didn't want to push. Now I'm stuck wondering if he'll shoot me a message, if we'll meet again an if I was clear enough about how amazing he is and how much I'd like to spend time with him again
