Question:Why?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Why?

We all have regrets....and to say I only have one...would be a lie

Here's a short list

I regret not telling those I love and have lost..that I loved them everyday
I regret not saying I was sorry when I knew I was wrong
I regret not standing up for myself when I knew it was the right thing to do
I regret not being the mom I should have been to my teens when they were babies....I thought money was more important in their lives than my presence

Why do I have a lot of these regrets? It's human nature to make mistakes, but hopefully learning and leading by example..I have become a better person for it. I still apologize to my kids who are older now that I wasn't there. I now tell those I love, daily that I do. I say I'm sorry whether I think I'm wrong or right. Sometimes being right doesn't mean you did the right thing.

I regret the day i met my mothers boyfriend....at the time i thought it wasn't serious. now we've been stuck with him for 2 years. he's a crack head alcoholic wholikes to break stuff and now my mom is pregnant. i regret it more for her than me....she won't leave him. : (

Taking out any student loans, lines of credit, etc. I should've let myself suffer financially then. Now I'm paying for this debt hell!

Waiting to become an actress. I waited and passed oppertunities until I was like 12. And now I regret not becoming an actress sooner. But hey I'm still an actress, just an older one.

Not getting an education

This may sound phony, but I don't think I regret anythings. I hate many things that I've done. It was stupid, and unethical. However, those idiotic things that I've done make me who I am today. With out them, I'm just that same guy. I makes mistakes, I hates it, and I hates myself. However, a day, week, month, year, decade, century, millennium, etc. later I'll be proud of that mistake I've done. Mistakes teaches us to do the right things.

Come to think of it, I actually regret things. I still don't regret what I've done, but I regret what I didn't do. May be I was too afraid to do it. E.g. Talking to a women. I'm not really afraid of women, but the thing is that I'm afraid of failure. I'm afraid of rejection. I don't walk away like loser. Even though I've been rejected about 3 times now, I still feel stupid for doing it. If I didn't asked them out, I'd still thinks that they liked me. I really thought those women liked me, which was really sad. Well, I hope you're satisfy with my answer.
