If you regret it, you want to change it and to change something would change who you are. I have no regrets in my past. Everything you go through in life makes you who you are. Makes you stronger, more understanding, tougher and less ignorant. There are things in everyone's past that has been rough for them, but the experience of it has made them walk away with something more. It's part of life. Everything in life has a purpose.

Honey you sound like me when I was younger.  You should see a phsycologist or if you have a friend that's very knoledgeable, ask her to help you.\n\nI used to regret everything too but you know what?  You miss out on life when you do.  I don't know what else to say but um I hope the others are nice and give you great advice on what to do.  Good luck honey!

I was 13 and I regret it. I think my life would have turned out much better if I had of waited and just concentrated on school. I probably would have went to a great college and had a better career right now.

I, like most, have a few regrets about decisions that I made in the past but when it comes down to it I wouldn't be the same person had I not made some of those choices.\n\nI think one of the best steps, if you'll call it that, is actually staying home to raise my children.  My professional career and my education is important to me, but those things will still be available to me after my kids are in school.  I think too often parents are concerned about their own careers, ect that they miss the important things by not staying home with their children

Start enjoying life for one thing. You can't always do everything right, that is why it is called life and we are here to practice life each day. That is why we get another chance the next day.  So make your mistakes, that is the great thing about a mistake is not the regret, but that you learn from them.  If you never make a mistake you will become a very dull person.  Everyone thinks once in awhile, I could have probably done that differently. Then the next time it happens you have your chance to do it differently. So give life a chance and live it. Your mind is your worst enemy, let it go before it holds you back to much. It sounds like it already has. So the next time it happens, tell yourself, STOP!  And just do it.

I've had many...far too many to brag about, but once you experience just one, if you're wise, you have a deeper appreciation and value of life.\n\n1)  The first was one of the worst because I was just about only 9 years old.  My best friend and I were guests at the birthday party of one of our male classmates.  His mother--who was also one of our substitute teachers--came around to picku up each of the kids in their station wagon to drive us from New York to Connecticut.  It was a very big deal for me.  After changing into our swimsuits, my best friend pushed me into the deep end of the pool, and I didn't know how to swim.  To make matters worse, I took a deep gasp, just as she pushed me in, so I took in nothing but water!  At first I panicked.  Just like they say, my life flashed before me.  I had not lived much, at that point, but it still seemed like it was a lifetime within a split second or two.  Then, I was sad for myself, because I knew I was awfully young to die.  Then, I was sad for my mother, who reluctantly permitted me to go.  At that point, I think I relegated myself to die, because I wasn't moving upwards or downwards.  I was just in this suspended animation.  Then, I realized that it might not be too painful to die that way.  With the exception of my right arm, all of me was now relaxed.  My right arm was raised as if I was trying to get someone's attention, or like a child might do in class.  Even in "near-death," I was following the rules by raising my hand!  Finally, the relaxation caused me to float to the surface.  That is when everything went very quickly.  A few of the adult chaperones dove into the water to get me.  Then, I was being lifted out by many hands.  Then, they were putting pressure on my stomach, and I was regurgitating water.  Then, I believe I started crying.  It's weird, but that period where I was under the water was almost tranquil.  It may be because it was the closest thing my subconscious recalls to being in my mother's womb.\n\n2)  I averted a possible shooting at around age 14 or 15, when a friend stole my babysitting job.  She snuck behind my back to take a regular job with my downstairs neighbor away from me.  She got it, and instead, my mother, sister, and I went uptown to my great-aunt's for dinner.  I wanted to get home before the Academy Awards came on.  Even then, I never missed them!  My mother kept stalling, and we didn't leave before they began, but rather an hour or so in.  Factoring in the subway travel time, we were home about two and a half hours later than we would have been.  Because of the delay, we missed the fatal shooting that occured just outside the door of the downstairs neighbor's house--the place where I would have been babysitting!  According to my friend, the man was trying desperately to get someone to open the door.  She wouldn't do it.  Had she, the killer may have killed her and the baby as well.  With someone pleading for their life, I don't know that at the time I would not have opened the door...\n\n3)  I have had at least three near-misses during plane travel.  One of the most notable was when I was about 16.  My mother, sister, and I were returning to New York from Ohio by plane, just after New Year's.  At that time, I was not fearful of air travel.  As we attempted our landing, the wheels touched down, and we bumped several times, only to take off again.  The passengers were very tense, and you could hear a pin drop.  We made numerous very large circles, and stayed in the vicinity of the airport.  Eventually, we attempted our landing again.  This time, we were all very aware of the lights of several emergency vehicles on either side of the runway.  When the plane landed, everyone applauded.\n\n4)  As a senior in high school, I was trapped along with another 18 or so students in an elevator caught between the 8th and 9th floors of our school.  It was toward the summer, and we were all ve

MY 'GREATEST' REGRET:\nAfter having an argument with my father, a couple of weeks later he was hospitalized because he didn't feel good, my brother said. My father sent word by my brother," Tell my baby come see and we'll put everything behind us. We'll play like it never happened. Tell her I love her." My brother brought the message at 8pm but I said, "I was busy, I'd go tomorrow at lunch. At 11:45 am (less than 16 hours later) I walked into the hospital and found my brother crying, my dad had passed away 20 minutes before I got there. Reason of death, was declared 'unknown'.\n\n I regret not getting to hug and tell him,"I loved him, too".

The biggest mistake you will make in your life is, rushing into marriage, especially if you have second thoughts.Take your time, be sure!!!!!!!

I would pick something that you have done in your life mistake or not, that has some how changed you for the better. People relate well with situations they are familiar with. Try something along those lines

Excuse me, WAITER?  \n\nYes.  But I know I cannot change anything like that. I do look back way on down the road and think, "Gosh, I could have handled that differently."  Sad part is, we usually don't reflect until years later about bad decisions and where we might have ended up if other choices had been made.  I never regret anything I have done until I realize that I could have made a better choice.

My biggest fear is of one day looking back and having accomplished nothing with my life. Not that I have a specific vision for what I want to do with my life but I would hate to feel like I've wasted it!!
