What Are Your Biggest Regrets?

Wasting too much time feeling like I owed my parents or being manipulated into feeling guilty for them after an extremely physically and emotionally abusive childhood. To this day they try to guilt me into doing everything for them as their health slowly deteriorates. I've put my own family aside for them just to be continually bashed mentally. I regret being born to them and raised by them. I know that doesn't make sense but my childhood was a hell that I would never wish on my worst enemy. Just venting, sorry.
Me too.
I wish I found this out when I was 19. But of course with the knowledge I have today. LOL.
At 19, I may have just wasted the money away, who knows. Part of me would like to think I would have invested but who knows.
I regret being with my abusive ex for so long. All the times I left, just to accept him back time and time again. I know where it all went wrong and even though I understand why I was emotionally vulnerable to him and his start of the cycle of abuse at that time (my mom had just died after being her primary caregiver for 2 years) looking back, I just regret I was not stronger at the time like I needed to be.
But then I may not be where I am today and I am loving life right now and have been for a few of years now. So maybe I wouldn’t have this if I didn’t go through that.
Glad you are in a great place @Jenesis - live like no one is watching - love that line.
Not realizing much earlier that life is not fair. Wasted too much time and energy worrying trying to fix situations which were unfair but just not fixable.
