I just recently turned 40. And, also recently, A LOT has been coming to the surface. The young child that lives in me (and, that we all have, let's be honest) has been clearly articulating certain feelings and thoughts. I realized last summer that I have been keeping that young child in me on a short leash for all of my adult life as I struggled to get by, making one mistake after another, with no help, support, or guidance from anyone I turned to. I don't think I ever truly understood how much and how badly that child has been wounded and neglected. But, I'm listening to that child now. As an adult, I can't give that child what has been asked for or needed all along. But, I can at least try to take that child's feelings into account. Some day, I hope that I can make it up to that young child in me, and maybe we both, inner child and outer adult, can find some peace.
Anyway, to everyone in this community, have a pleasant day.

I had some painful experiences 2002-2004 that caused me to suffer great mental unhealth and trauma 2002-2015, I have had lasting wounds and scars 2002-2024, so I think since around 2008 (despite everything) I've tried to live a life without regrets to make sure that the pain I experienced wasn't in vain. With Arnold's six rules of success I learned even better to make good use of my time so as to be content and hungry for life!
I cannot stress the importance of living without regrets and wish I could make some people around me understand, and for them to find the same love and gratitude for life. Then they'd understand why I do what I do, instead of meddling and trying to make me change.

I suffer from severe depression and CPTSD. I don't have enough money to buy three meals a day, let alone the medication I need. But I don't have any regrets.
There is NOTHING I regret doing or not doing. Even looking back, and being in a severe depressed situation, I can't find a single decision that would guarantee a better outcome if I did it a different way. By far the most would guarantee a worse outcome. Even in hindsight, knowing what I know now. Some would definitely vastly change how my life would be. But there's no saying if it would be better or worse by now. And sure, I did things that I probably shouldn't have, but those are insignificant to the rest of my life.

It's so true when it comes to all of these factors. The only thing stepping them aside would be parents and strict policies. When it comes to parents, they're suppose to be the eyes and show us the way to who we are or can be. I have a lot of support, but parents guilt tripping me decreases the faith I have on the ideas to succeed.
My friends and I agree that our parents see regret and failure as nonexistent and success will always be the only thing to happen in our life.
It's a shame, but when you're a 1st Gen, your parents won't let go of their culture back at home, making it hard to adapt. There's always a way to make this change, but obviously that's hard.

I honestly don't see anything in front of me, as in my future. It's just a creepy dark fog that feels extremely uncomfy and cold to walk through.
That said, I too have many regrets which still plague me to this day because I can't undo them and it really hurts me since those weren't just decisions like whether to take a job offer or not, but also things I can no longer fix because it involves people who passed away. In other cases, even if I'd love to scream my feelings out towards said persons, it'd destroy the relationship and that's not worth it. When I lived at a host family, I learned to take the safe route is better than to risk anything in life.

Although regretting the past will not change past mistakes, it can show that you are sensitive and concerned about your actions. This concern can help you learn from your mistakes, reflect on how they affected others physically or mentally, and provide an opportunity for growth. Take me as an example. I am just 16 years old, but I have undergone complex life events and dealt with disorders like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD, and many other challenges. I used to regret my choices and often felt alone, always fearing that people would judge me. But now, I’ve learned how to deal with my problems.

I can absolutely connect to Point #1(Simplify! Sometimes when I'm experiencing something new I'll automatically assume that experience is dangerous when it's really not. But as you've pointed out. sometimes when experiencing something fearful, we should take a step back and ask ourselves why exactly we're feeling that way. Right now I'm taking steps to get out of my comfort zone, but I know that when I'm feeling nervous I should only focus on what's in front of me as opposed to a million what if scenarios in my head.

4: 10 this is a real cute line, but such baseless advice does nothing to help me in the situation I'm in. I have regret because of the insane number of bad decisions is now costing me the simple joy of living because I have to overwork; to the point I'm nearly bankrupt because I can't keep up with rising costs.
I don't feel better. I don't know how to look on the brighter side. Not anymore.
I've lost the ability to, or I'm starting to.

Im here because i need to be
Think about it
Life is a never ending cycle of suffering
You can sleep as much as you want, but you'll always end up tired
You can eat as much as you want, but you'll always end up hungry
You can play as much as you want, but you'll always end up bored
This is all true, and that means, the only way to end the cycle
Is
Death
8mg Chloroquin
1g Diazepam

I also spent a long time thinking about a few things I regret and what I should have done better. Over the years, I've also thought of a few things that I could have done better without any effort. At some point, I realized that I was blind to these better solutions because of all the stress and pressure. Like a fly that keeps banging against the window while the other window is open a few meters away.

I definitely needed this, I regret everything that I do wrong and that regret also comes back to haunt me when I'm at my worst. In that moment almost everything that I have ever done wrong comes back and I end up crying myself to sleep if I don't laugh at the end of the day. Idk if it's normal to be like this or not and it won't be easy just forgiving myself bcs I know very well that it is my fault.

I always feel like I have to suffer through the pain of my regrets in order to prove that I'm willing to take full responsibility for my actions in the past, because if I don't, I feel like I'm not putting in any effort to grow and be a different person than who I was in the past.

For some reason whenever I have regrets, my brain automatically shoves them to the back of my mind and then years later, I’ll be laying in bed in the dark ready to go to sleep or just waking up and then forced to dwell on something I did years ago lol

I regret meeting my ex. Because of him I experienced a pain that is hard to forget, and it’s still painful
Sometimes I’m ok but there are times in which I think about us together and the fact that he lied all the time, and it still hurts

When you're in your forties and your life is ruined for a mistake that you made at age 18 and there's no way to turn your life arround because you live in a third world country without resources or new possibilities, you can't forgive yourself

I think everyone has regrets, even if they claim they don't! It's part of being human I suppose! I wonder if everything is predtermined and planned out for us regardless of the choices we make and the actions we take! Take care!

You know as a 28 year old, there are times I think it's too late for me. Due to my age but I have to realize it's only the beginning with me. One key issue with society and media is this notion you must peak in your 20s
