A buddy of mine hung himself this year. I remember talking on the phone once with him while I was tripping...I was having a great trip and told him, "Tom, man...I love you." "Hahaha, what?" "I love you." "Nate? Hahahaha, alright, man, I love you too." "No, dude, seriously. I love you." I mean, I know it just sounds like I was goofing around because I was tripping, but that sort of conversation means a lot to you when the person is gone...I feel fortunate to have had that conversation with him, because I know there are so many people who now wish more than anything they had. I really regret that I had not said things like that to him more and when I wasn't on drugs...I mean, I appreciated having him as my friend so much, he was someone who cared so much more about other people than himself, I'd never really had a friend like that before, and I still just can't believe he's gone from me. I really wish I had let him know how much I appreciated him, because I know that he wasn't aware of how much people loved him or how hurt so many people would be by his death, and it kills me. If he was aware, he wouldn?t have done it because the thought of hurting other people was terrible to him?he had to have felt completely unloved and unwanted when he did it. It's not even the fact that he killed himself that is the worst part, it's the misery he had to be going through to push him into it.
During the day it usually doesn?t bother me too much, but every night when I go to bed there?s nothing else to focus on and it?s all I can think about. I barely get any sleep at all now and when I do I have nightmares all the time. I?m sure I?ll regret it for the rest of my life.

Thanks, man. I'm sorry about your friend...it sounds like you cared about him a lot.
I know he wouldn't want me to suffer or anything, but it's really a torturous thing to think about. He loved everyone and even though his family was anything but wealthy, he would give away anything he had. I've seen him lose color in his face from the cold because he literally gave someone the coat off his back. He was just such a beautiful person and when I think about the sadness he had to be feeling it just gets me so bummed.

I've thought about this too, don't think I'm all wrapped up in myself not to consider other people. But I still stand by that even decisions that may end up hurting other people were the right ones to make at that time. Certain factors were in play that lead me to make that decision, just because I may feel like a complete ass afterwords doesn't mean i regret doing it.
If i could go through life without hurting anyone I would but thats impossible. I may feel bad for doing certain things but I don't see the point in regreting it, at the time it was the right choice to make and if I start to doubt it then whats to stop me from doubting and regretting everything I've done in life?

Man...I have a hard time thinking of regrets. I mean...there are things that happened that I wonder "what the fuck what I thinking" and stuff, but at the same time I can't change it, so I guess I've just accepted it.
Although there are a few things I regret SO badly...like whenever I was an alcoholic and was a bitch to my hubby. I'll never forgive myself for the way I treated him in those days.
I spend every day trying to prove to him I'm not that girl anymore.

Please don't think I am picking on you but you bring up a point that I should at least comment on in reguards to my last post
In this case I can see where regret would come into play, this is something i can see why you would regret doing it. So far i've never done this type of thing to anyone and hope I never do, but as I said I am still young and have plenty of life left to live. To date however I can't think of anything I really truely regret.

I don't regret much in my life either, because regret really doesn't solve anything. Best to move on, look ahead.
That being said, there is one thing in my life that I wish I hadn't done, and that was take the psychiatrist too seriously when she told me "you'll never have to try, in school."
Because after that, I never did.

Your greatest regret in life
well being 45 years old now...I have several regrets.
but there has always been one major regret in my life that has haunted me...
I should have married my girl friend from Vancouver B.C. and moved to Canada when I was 20 years old. She was the nicest, kindest, most beautiful woman...that I have ever met in all my life.
She didn't want to move down here to Seattle. I didn't want to move up there to Vancouver...I had a good job here at the time. We went back and forth between Vancouver and Seattle for almost 2 years. We broke up when we both realized that neither of us was willing to give in and move away.
If I could go back in time...I would have moved up to Vancouver and married her.
But I can't...and I will always regret that I didn't.
I still think she was my soulmate in life...I still love her to this day!~
much

just to be basic... not having the mind i do now as i did earlier in my life. although i am still very young, turning 20 this may. i have grown worlds in the past five years or so. a lot of it i attribute to the very bad things that have happened to me since then, and are still occurring. but yeah if i had the mind i have now when i was younger, maybe things wouldnt be as bad as they are now. although most of the bad things that are happening now arent my fault anyway, its a physical pain stemming thing. but maybe there could of been a way to avoid it.. dunno.. either way i would have been happier.

I regret a few things. I could say some girl situations, but chicks shouldn't be granted that high of status in your life, so I won't say them.
I'd probably say not going to a particular school and wrestle in college.

I used to dismiss regret and just look to the future, seeing as you can't change the past, and whatever decisions were made at the time were under certain influences that can't be undone. But upon furth introspection during that period of philosophy, I realized that you can become content with life and not progress when you don't regret/care about your past. I've changed my philosophy and feel regret is a powerful motivator, although it tends to make one bitter at the same time. I like this way better.
