Your Biggest Mistake

[How2PK]

Quitting school, I guess.

[ProtoGuy]

In all honesty.. regardless of the fact I've had alot of [cabbage] happen, I can't honestly say I have any regrets.

 

Mainly due to the fact they've made me who I am today. :)

 

From my fiancee cheating on me, to me landing mouth first off my bicycle at 19 mph :lol:

 

Everything has all brought me to meeting new people, seeing new faces and going new places.

 

So I suppose my largest regret would be that I haven't smoked today, cause I need to. :lol:

[Racheya]

I suppose becoming addicted to the internet. Before the internet, about 5 years ago, I wasn't popular, didn't have many friends and found it awkward in social situations. Over the past 5 years I'm still the same. I'm not popular, don't have many friends, find it awkard, almost terrifying in social situations. I think, though I can't be sure, if I hadn't become addicted to the internet, emmersed myself in this virtual world, I might have found myself less terrified of people... less of a freak maybe.

 

 

 

Another might be a mistake, though it was also a blessing. Meeting Shannon my internet-best friend (I mention her occassionally). She was lonely, didn't have many friends irl and was being bullied. I became her friend, we were completely inseperable for almost a year, she had no other friends and I ditched my real life friends for her because she needed me. Over the past 9 months or so she's been getting real life friends, having boyfriends having... a life. And after I'd dedicated my life in a way to being with her and making her happy, she doesn't need me anymore... it's very complicated but we argue a lot now. I call her a sell-out [bleep] and she calls me a friendless loser who'll always be lonely.

That I haven't told a certain someone some stuff about me that I should of told her long ago. But at least I'm working on it know.

I'm hoping I don't feel like that later on in my life. Make sure you really want her to know...

I can sympathise with this a great deal.

 

 

 

I'm a hikki (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikikomori for the unenlightened); I don't leave my house, hell, I don't even leave my bedroom most days. I do all sorts of crap I regret doing (skipping school, eating too much, not talking to real people) and stuff I dislike myself for (being scared of other people and going outside). I have no 'close' friends - I have a few people I know well, but that's it. The situation at home isn't good either, since some stuff happened about 3 and a bit years ago. I wouldn't use the term "freak" to describe myself - I'm just another one of those people who have just given up on trying to become anything because we don't get anywhere trying to.

 

 

 

I think, because I don't socialise well, I enjoy the amount of time I spend here, just doing nothing except posting on message boards, idling on IRC, playing games and listening to music. I was picked on quite harshly until this year really - because I had no clue as to how to stand up for myself. I guess people just got older. I still hate school though, because it holds negative connotations to me.

 

 

 

tl;dr hikki loser

Well it is kind of important so I will have to either tell her or simply wait until she comes and visits me and finds out herself(not a good idea). Tbh I'm not 100% sure why I didn't tell her yet. I suppose if needs be I could probably think up of a few reasons but I don't want to make an excuse. I didn't do something I should of, end of.

Call her now or whenever she'll be available. Gauge her mood (don't drop a bombshell if she had a bad day) and tell her. It'll be hard but once you get going it gets easier to talk about it.

Only one problem with that. I can't speak my emotions. It takes me a good while to get the courage to post about my feelings (let alone talk about it), I already made one or two small attempts at it but I certainly want her to know when I want to tell her by the end of this week. I'll probably start tonight or tomorrow and see where that takes me.

Not my strongest point either. I can type them out better. I advise writing it down, just a text file will do. It should help. Having written it down once will make it easier to keep on track when you actually do it.

[123_x_pac]

Standing right behind a kid who was about to swing a bat...I still have the scar -.-

[Joes_So_Cool]

Good luck with that.

 

 

 

Runescape. :|

 

Tell me, how does that work? It's just a game people. Not to say that I play it anymore.

 

 

 

It's one of my regrets, I've spent at least 400+ hours on runescape. If I used that time otherwise, working, mowing lawns even, I'd have alot more money in real life instead of in a game.

This reminds me when I was like 4 years old, I followed my dad when he was bowling.... :-# , it knocked my front 2 teeth like straight back and inch or so, and my dad had to pull them forward....fun fun :thumbsup:

[Everkenezer]

to expand on the Runescape idea, video games in general. I love them, but lets just say there were times when i wish they didnt exist.

 

 

 

a small mistake, but is bothering me is that i signed up late for classes and only got into one this quarter, pushing my graduation back to around december this year :(

 

 

 

other than that, i like the way my life played out. not so much a mistake, but there are some things that i would ahve like to done, like play hockey more and get my license sooner.

[Kirudaymi]

Hm, I don't really have any serious ones. Maybe quitting hockey, and occasionally some things I've said to people that I've sort of regretted. Generally, I don't have any regrets, apart from the above. (And the feeling usually goes away after a little while :? )

[depresins]

Staying in school as long as I did.

 

 

 

Biggest waste of time ever. The only thing relevant after grade 5 was just exactly how much vodka you can get away with drinking in class.

My 6th grade class was big on yo-yos. I think we were cooler.

Exact same situation as me, except replace internet with RuneScape. Dsavi, people say it's a huge mistake because it was such a huge amount of time spent playing it, time that can't be gotten back, and can't be considered a good use.

[Madmanpur3]

Um, how is Runescape a mistake? The point of a game is to play it to have fun, so as long as it was fun then there's no mistake in playing it regardless of how many hours you spent on it. Now if you were playing it and NOT having fun, then you were either addicted, stupid, or both. Hell, you'll probably spend more time daydreaming in your lifetime versus time spent on Runescape.

tl;dr hikki loser

 

Thats quite appropriate because I recently watched Welcome to the NHK and read up all about Hikikomori and that. I think I'm in a bit of a limbo between that sort of lifestyle and just a normal-ish sort of one. I do go out sometimes and have friends, but a lot of my time is spent here at the laptop... I think when I finish schooling at that it might come to a point where I've got to figure out what I'm going to do. Sometimes I'm optimistic and think yeah, I can go out and have fun... by the time I'm back hom here though I'm usually far more happy to sit on the internet all day. When I'm out with friends and everything is fun it's great, I was out skating with some last week and it was getting on 3 o'clock (in the afternoon) and they were playing pool and I was just miserable because I wanted to get home... I have some sort of issue with that sort of thing but that's another whole story.

 

 

 

Um, how is Runescape a mistake? The point of a game is to play it to have fun, so as long as it was fun then there's no mistake in playing it regardless of how many hours you spent on it. Now if you were playing it and NOT having fun, then you were either addicted, stupid, or both. Hell, you'll probably spend more time daydreaming in your lifetime versus time spent on Runescape.

 

Thats the thing, playing it normally is one thing. Getting addicted to the point where your social life revolves around the next TET event is where it becomes a regret. I know it's sort of mine though it fits more in the general internet thing...

[ArmadylArcher]

So, what was the dumbest thing you've ever done? For me, it would be stucking my finger up an electrical box that connected my entire house at age 3. Sent me across the room, apparently. Thank god I was standing on a platform with rubber wheels. Anyways. What would your biggest "oops" of all time be?

 

I did that too, at about 18 months old with a pair of tweezers

[abbydog95]

Ever starting to play runescape :oops:

[RSBDavid]

getting two girls pregnant :ohnoes:

[killerbeer0]

Ever starting to play runescape :oops:

 

 

 

How about allowing yourself to get addicted to Runescape? A game on its own can't cause you any problems, the problem is with the addictive individual. I'm fairly addicted to Runescape, not completely but to a degree, the problem lies with me.

 

 

 

and @ bballer... uhh... same night? Sisters? DETAILS MAN!

Most of the choices I made in High School.
