Coming it to the end of the year, I (and/or others) what are your regrets for the last year?

Last Decade?

Last Century?

Last Millenia?

Mine would have to go as...

sleeping through from the old Millenia to the new...can't blame me, I was nine!

Not asking someone out when we both "liked" each other, not being on good terms with the same certain person anymore.

God, thats not very many is it? I'm sure I have much more, oh well! Thats what you get for being alive for only 15 years.


What are yours?

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

I don't think I actually have any. What's done is done.

I've done that, and felt sorry for myself about it too. But then I grew up and realised that if you're not on good terms with them now the relationship probably would have sucked anyway. *nods*

Thanks...I think.

i have relatively few regrets from the last year apart from maybe not being nice enough to my friends and family at times, and sometimes not being as good as i could be to my girlfriend

Dern, was worth a try anyhow. I had a puppet once, but it took too much percious posting power that I don't have much of, and it took effort to log out and then have to log in again:p

My only regrets is that I don't really have any other that the one I just mentioned now..

I really need to live more..

Regrets are pointless. The only reason to look back at mistakes is to learn from them so you can avoid the situation in the future (if possible). Otherwise, just move on.

A regret would be not having any regrets.(Yes,I notice the paradox.).
Might go to show I haven't lived all that much.Mind,I'm only 16,bring on life.

I have enough regrets to ensure that I'll never be able to sleep at night without some form of distraction -- a book on CD, complete exhaustion, a lovely set of beverages, a nice massage...or a naughty massage, for that matter.

This is why I envy those whose personal savior whisks those regrets away. Me, I have them replayed to me whenever I'm trying to rest my mind. It's as if I get ambushed by actually SEEING the scene featuring the situation that produced the regret, and I'm living it all over again. I'm not a drug addict, but I can see why someone could be one.

Regrets are best reserved for the melancholy at heart.

That almost sounds Shakespearian.

I'm sure it's not,it just sounds it.

I'll take that as a compliment.

My only regret is living never knowing if my recently deceased uncle ever had any pride in me or not. I was going out to stay with him for awhile, we were as close as Father and Son, but were Uncle and Nephew. My regret was not being able to go pay final respects to him at his funeral. My biggest regret was asking to go out there, becuase if I hadn't, I'm sure he would still be alive today.

the Guilt I feel is staggering, wherever he is, I hope he at least had happy holidays. :(

I regret everything, it's how I deal with all failures great and small. I'm a pessimistic optimist - everything would be great if I didn't keep fucking up. :)

My regret is that I don't have an actual life.

your biggest regret is asking to go out there, because if you hadnt asked or hadnt gone he would still be alive today?

ah my friend I know exactly how you feel. I feel I think too much about things in general so whenever I lie down to rest I run through all the things going on in my life... and I really dwell on the negative stuff. I also replay lots of instances from my life dating back to childhood. I really wanna learn to accept some things and move on.

I have very similar experiences, I cannot forget my mistakes and keep reliving them all the time. Most of them are of times I felt I failed my friends.
