I am an restrained child. I try to keep contact with my father but hes already restarted his life with 2 young children and a caring woman he doesn't need me or have time for me. I cut myself off from my mother because the stress I'd be under while staying with her or while trying to help her would be more detrimental to me then the isolation. Sometimes I'm very angry at her. Sometimes I pity her terribly sometimes I feel like by abandoning her I've done no different then she had when I was a child and she had more interest in parties. Sometimes I think if she would only separate from her mother I'd be willing to try and bond with her again and sometimes I see my mothers relationship wirh her mother and I remind myself that if I get entangled again I will be in my mothwrs shoes and she would be in her mothers shoes. Immediate family entrapment is something I've been trying to avoid my whole life. The only time I have regrets about it is when an extended member of my family calls me to let me know another has died

The regret that hit me the most is the last part. Not being true to how I truly feel/felt. Dwelling too much on the PAST. Being aggressive about it. I am suffering. My ppl pleasing Andi Baysa. I regret doing this. It gave me stiff neck. Pretending Ive moved on and that I'm ok. Avoiding confrontation. I realized, this ppl pleasing self result to me being stressed, growimg pimples, not comfy w/ myself. not taking care of myself and overthinking. Not socializing enough. And I blame other peeps for not exposing me when I was pushing them away. I blame them for all of what Ive gone thru. I spend time being in my room. Not going out. Thinking NEGATIVE! I GIVE AWAY MY POWER TO PPL TO FEEL HOW I SHOULD FEEL. I DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND OTHER PEEPS DO IT FOR ME. I DON'T SOCIALIZE UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE. MY BIGGEST REGRET/MAHAY. I DON'T SHOW MY REALEST SELF. I AM HIDING WHO I AM. I DON'T OWN MY FEELINGS. I expect alot from ppl pero mas sa akin. I end up getting drained/stressed/burned out. I care alot.

I'm 23 and a few of these regrets hit pretty close to home.
#3: Although no one has ever outright told me something like 'men don't feel emotions, ' I hadn't always felt like I could express them. I often have to wait to be alone so I can acknowledge what I'm feeling.
#6: I've always struggled to be consistent with nutrition or exercise. Whenever I was in decent shape, it was when I still played sports in school.
#10: Ever since high school I was never my true self. I was often focusing on trying to fit in with others, despite knowing I was different from them. Last year when I fell into the self-help stuff, I came across some stuff that made me almost become a complete incel, realizing I didn't actually believe what I was being told. Fortunately I've become more aware of who I really am.
I'm not posting this for attention; but to hopefully inspire others to avoid the same mistakes.

Oh god number 3. Yeah when I'm alone long enough and my past pops up into my mind I begin to feel a deep self hatred for not standing up for myself. I spent 2 years in a house where 5 people twice my size would beat on me and all I did was cry and take it. My father would join in sometimes going after all of us or focusing on the ones that attack me at first only to see them turn on me and blame me. for their getting hurt and they would attack with vengeance. I never felt big enough or strong enough to stand up for myself. The memories seem so real sometimes I catch myself trying to swing at my attacker only to realize theres nothing I can do about it especially right now.

I have always tried to live with no regrets I will be 40 next year I must say up till the past few years I didn't have one but I think mostly at least one really had to do with not having closer with my best friend that passed in January of 2020 but I think time will help on this
Another was hiding who I really was for 16 years acting and doing what was expected of me I broke that 6 years ago so that regret has been taken care of
The 3rd would pursuing a singing career I was told by many that I could be professional but I always told myself I wasn't good enough so I never tried I'm probly going to carry that one.

Dated my husband after 2 weeks of meeting him in college and we're still tight as thieves! estranged from my physically abusive dad and when he died I didn't cry at the funeral. it's called healthy boundaries! staying bc you're family can become toxic rq. I'm too broke to travel rn but once my easy & high paying ($90+k) career that im wildly passionate about sets off & I invest my money, I'll be a millionaire & can travel wherever my husband is going to have a $90+k job too and will also invest his money into index funds. this is the only thing I'm not doing that is bad on this list!

Number ten should make people understand why it must need to let GLBT to be themselves. including me as a transwomen. Because we berried that part of us so much. That we never be happy until we are allowed to be ourselves. If yyou knew the person as male. But they want to lived as female. You respectfully called them that. And start using their new choosing name. Even it not been legally changed. Because they only pretend to be a male. Because it was for your happiness and not theirs. And if you want them to be happy. They will have to be themselves. And not what you want them to be.

When I graduated from high school, less than 10 classmates went straight on to college. The women's movement hadn't made its way to my part of the country yet. And no one in my family had ever attended college. And so, I had no high expectations for myself. My first full time job was working at an elementary school and I absolutely loved everything about it. After two years, I managed to move away to attend college, hoping to become an elementary teacher. But I quit one year later. Now. 40+ years later I still drive by elementary schools and wish I had become a teacher.

I have the motto, Die regretting the things you DID, rather than the things you didn't.
It creates a lot of friction because some people are frightened of someone who throws themselves in at the deep end seemingly without pause, but I have lived several lifetimes in my 50+ years and there's still plenty on my bucket list.
I keep love in my heart, integrity in my intentions and no matter what, I get back up and try it all over again. Je ne regrette rien!

It was actually comforting to know that a regret many have is jumping into relationships too fast. I feel like many of my friends and family got engaged quickly and in a sense left me behind while I struggle to find someone, since I like to go slow. Felt like I was doing something wrong. I also feel like I'm judged a lot by not choosing a career by 25. I'm 28 now and have tried 4 different careers before settling. I'm glad I did.

None of these are all too suprising. I think there is however, that phase in life where you make desicions where you regret regardless of how it turned out. Toxic relationships or friendships that could have gone well if they were not toxic is a thing I come back to now and then because of the interest I had in them and the memories with them.

Videos like this don't motivate me. It just causes anxiety. Because I don't want to have any regrets. But the mind changes over time so I don't know what I will be like when my time comes. Videos like this just adds more stress and pressure to an already stressful and pressure filed life.

If you want to know how you will be in the future, then look at the present. Future is the result of the present.
If you want to know your past, then still look at the present. The present is the result of the past.
Only the present exists, live present not past, not future.

Because we're all human, we'll naturally make a number of mistakes as we live out our lives. In old age, I think it's normal and healthy to honestly reflect, and acknowledge our missteps, and feel regret about them. To live one's final days with no regrets, would be troublesome.

I don't know if this is a regret, but I wish I had learn to meditate decades earlier. I think you have to have an opportunity you turned down for it to be a regret, but I wish I had learn to relax more deeply through meditation and release negative emotions much sooner.

I think it's worthwhile to point out that while being aware of others' regrets might clue you in on some stuff, it's important to not hold on to a fear of your future self regretting something. So often in life we run from fears rather than follow hopes.

The things that have to do with time, so many of the regrets are resulting from the oppressive system we live under. You can do whatever tf you can to get out from a lot of these things and still suffer bc capitalist oligarchy keeps us confined.

Its so weird. These vids ALWAYS includ e not traveling.
I traveled & I regret the shit out of it and Im not even 40. If I invested the money instead of spending it Id be a lot closer to financial independence than I am.

My parents divorced the year I was born and my lawyer father abandoned us completely focusing on his career. 30 years later before he died he told me he was sorry and doesn't want to die alone and wants his family back.

Even if you LOVE your work, you must have some kind of personal life. Otherwise, I can guarantee that someday you will regret not pursuing other things that you would like to have done.
