What are you not proud of?

You don’t have to confess any horrific crimes but what’s one thing you regret saying or doing?
One thing I wish I didn’t do is I used to sell my Ativan to other addicts or trade it for crack. It was not my shining hour.

I try to not worry too much about the distant past. I try to concentrate on recent and current things, for the most part.

I try not to do regrets. They are mostly pointless, IMO.

I have enough issues in the present without trying to burden myself with ancient history that can’t be changed.

Anyway, thats how I try to live. I’m not always 100% perfect with it though.

IMO, learning from the past is good. Dwelling on negative things from the distant past , is not.

Kinda asked it because I was curious about what other people have done. I didn’t mean it had to be some heavy regret.

I saw an old friend randomly years ago

He was thanking me for ‘showing him the ways’ - in reference to his life revolving around drug taking

After being told this it made me feel physically sick

But I just did not say anything

As people got me into drugs, I did exactly the same to others back in the day

Really sucks

Hope he finds his way out of it like I did

Might be too late. He could be dead now and I wouldn’t know

I regret not quitting my corporate job before I got psychotic.

I was too damn ambitious.

I could have had a softer landing.

I’m not proud of letting my weight get out of control.

There was once a time I had abs, low body fat %, healthy blood pressure, healthy resting heart rate.

My poor eating habits have lead me to now being overweight. I know the meds didn’t help but its still my fault for eating like sh’it.

I’m not proud of the way I handle it when the provider and her husband are bickering. I should just let it slide off like water off a duck’s back instead of getting drawn in to it and upset.

I am not proud of throwing a match down the sewer in a old apartment complex we used to live in because it smelled like gas and oil and I wanted to see what would happen. It caught on fire and a fire truck was called. I was 12years old and the apartment manager blamed the people who were draining thier oil into the sewer.

I regret many things in my past. I never did anything that bad but I still have a lot of regrets for being so stupid.

There were many things. Now seem all silly. These used to bug me. Now I am getting to know how people around behave. And in strange ways. Realize I was making mountain out of molehills.

I regret one day treating my mother poorly intentionally around 7 years ago in order to check if I could feel guilty. I’ve treated her worse than that day many times as a reaction or because I was unwell, but never in such a callous fashion and I am not proud of the fact that I considered it a viable course of action. Clearly nobody should ever go checking if they can feel guilty, it’s just about as moronic a reason to do something plain evil as it gets.

P.S. I didn’t do anything much mind you, I simply used dismissive and arrogant words and tone but still, it was messed up and I’m not proud of that.

I regret getting too much into conspiracy theories to try and make sense of my condition and circumstances and life.

I guess I’m trying to do the same thing with physics and encouraging my delusions by studying parallel unviverses and stuff. It’s probably a waste of time and money.

Okay. Maybe wait a week before you make any final decision.

You wanna be sure that it’s not just exhaustion that can be solved with a couple of good nights sleep.

Have you spoken to your tutor about it? I once got an extension because I was in a bad headspace.

Im absolutely certain i cant cover the material inside 8 months. No point forcing a pass in these modules because the next modules are going to require me to learn even faster
