Hi peeps,

Time for another thread from me. As the title stated:

What do you truly regret doing?

This can be anything. Something small, something innocent or even something that caused a real butterfly effect. Do note that this can be quite personal, so don’t feel like you have to share anything. And please, if someone shares a serious and potentially hurtful thing. Don’t troll and goof on them. If you want to goof. Goof on me, no hard feelings.

As always I’ll start:

I truly regret taking medication for my ADHD. I’ve been medicated for some years now and it changed my life for the better and the worst. Somehow I’ve lost 95% of my emotion and now have a hard time comprehending serious consequences. I generally don’t care bout much anymore.

PS. Dont take my story as a sad sob story. Cuz I’m personally fine. But it has a negative effect on my relationships.

Share your regret stories below!

My biggest regret was buying Garry's Mod :jawdrop:
Gmod aint the problem. Fredy is, he started this community and made us spend countless hours grinding. With all the fun that comes with it, but sadly also a significant % of your life spent on the server haha

(I feel a bit stupid this is serious and I’m posting it on a gmod post lol.)

My biggest regret is letting a man step over me years ago when I was too young to understand until it was too late. I thought it was love, it was just control. He ruined part of my life, a part I’ll never get back but on the upside I can now sit here and help others who have gone or are going through the same thing. I can also give advice, I’m still living and even though it took a toll, I’m happy for all the happy moments I can have, forgetting about it for a singular moment. I love you guys. Ptsd will stay forever but remember if you have it, it doesn’t define you and it definitely won’t best you.

Becoming fried.
I don’t know how it happened but somewhere down the line my whole brain chemistry changed, I was no longer a smart and ambitious young man. I was now a frier who does shit in school, is incomprehensible most of the time and always on the drink.
Good fun though I won’t lie @Max

Same actually, i experienced something similar, however i was a child and it was my neighbour who "groomed me". im proud that you are open about that! But do not regret it, i did as well. It isnt your or my fault that someone took/takes advantage of us or other minors. But do teach and spread awareness <3

Gambling 38m away and then buying the Furai as a means of stopping myself. Fortunately I'm in a lot better place since then and have nearly re-couperated those losses

Atomoxetine caused me to have psychosis, severe weight loss and to pass out regularly. Getting off of it fucked my grades but overall fixed my life.

I think one of my biggest regrets, one that I'm actually willing to discuss, anyhow, was getting into a physical confrontation with my dad. Long story short, he called me a fascist cause of some political bullshit we were arguing over, I said to him if called me that again I'd hit him. He did, like a week later, and so I did. I'm a man of my word, but I regret doing it, cause it was unwarranted, and the only reason I ended up doing it is cause I said I would.

Also, PERP erp. Shit was gay and cringe, I regret that shit.

Outweighing the benefits and the negatives is real struggle imo. Glad to hear you fixed your life again. Grades are less important imo.

I’m not gonna go through my dumpster fire life story on this thread because to be quite frank with you I don’t want to unload emotional garbage I’m supposed to move on from.

Tl;dr:
- Should have played guitar more (getting back on track after my hiatus though sweep picking is something I’m no longer capable of due to it).
- Wish I could have finished all 3 years of the music course I did (beyond my control anyways).
- Wish I didn’t try dating in high school and focused on just being a kid a little longer.
- Wish I didn’t sell my first 2 full size electric guitars in exchange for 1 shit one that doesn’t work properly anymore.
- Wish I didn’t start smoking at 16. Smoke free since 2019 though at least.
- Wish I didn’t have a thing for mentally unstable women throughout my college years.
- Should have picked better friends.

That is all. :)
