Hey Pandas, What Is Your Biggest Regret In Life? (Closed)

A botched friendship, a word that slipped out, we all have regrets. What's yours?

I don't believe in regrets. Sure, mistakes were made, but instead of dwelling on them, I choose to learn from them. As a result, I'm in a good place right now and am quite content

Can relate..... I have had past regrets from much earlier in my life, but after much supported relearning, I learned how to always do my very best.... and importantly, that enough good is good enough..... they went dormant and the power was taken away from existing ones. Thank whatever HP exists that there are some folks hidden around like an Easter Egg Hunt to help us learn to be ok, feel our feelings, get ok with discomfort/lack of control, and not get fùcked up about being/feeling fùcked up......

Not saying yes to someone who asked me out. I did have a partner at the time, but I was literally in middle school, and it didn't last. While he and I (the guy who asked me out, not my partner) remained friends, I've started to develop a crush on him, and while I did have feelings for him back then, I ignored them as I felt I should stick with my current relationship, and I wish I hadn't done that. It wouldn't have lasted in all likelyhood, considering that we were, again, in middle school, but I like him now and can't really ask him out because of that.

Reddit absolutely destroyed my life. I’m not saying it’s bad for everyone but in my circumstances it was horrible. I made a post that pretty much said “should I tell my religious parents about my atheism and sexuality?” My parents found it and since then have been emotionally absusive

This kind of sh*t should have serious consequences...... the absolute most heinous treatment of another human is to not have it be ok for them to be who/whatever they need to be ...... total wtf

My dad was an alcoholic for most of his life and it ultimately killed him. I didn't get very many sober moments, but when I did he was an amazingly funny, protective, and so many endearing quirks. I regret not telling him I hated his drinking. Maybe it would have made a difference if his kids said something. Most of all I regret slapping him and telling him I hate him only weeks before he suddenly passed from organ failure. It was the last thing he ever heard me say. I'll carry that with me forever...

When I was a kid I quit a lot of my sports and hobbies due to insecurity and feeling like I had to compete with my sister (she’d always win) . I wish I hadn’t let those thoughts get to me, I think it might have been fun to stick with it

Similar for me, but it wasn't competition with my sister but because of my social anxiety that I quit everything. First was ballet, because I was at a new school and one of the girls who I wanted to be friends with said it was stupid, plus I didn't really have friends at ballet either. Regretted it and tried going back many years later, but I was so behind everyone and still didn't make friends so I just quit again.

Relying on my mom for financial support, at all, even though I paid her back.
This is still used as leverage by my narcissist.
I wish I stood up to her, or knew how to handle her manipulation tactics and that she is a narcissist much earlier.

I met a guy, about a year ago. You know those meet - cutes in the movie? This was a very movie worthy one. From meeting at a market to that last kiss before the train leaves. It was all amazing and I'm still amazed by that night. But life isn't a movie. He was going trough some heavy stuff and I was in the middle of mine. He got my number but I was too scared to ask for his. Now he lives rent free in my head. Every now and then I go trough the "what if's". I wonder what he's doing, how he is doing, if he is doing better now, does he still shower like we did, would things be different if I had his number and texted him, why did he never text again, could we be friends if we'd ever meet again, will we ever meet again?
