Your Biggest Mistake

[ArmadylArcher]

getting two girls pregnant :ohnoes:

 

 

 

Make sure they/your kids never read that!

I don't believe in making mistakes; I think every mistake is a lesson learned...and every lesson learned is a good thing if it's learned well and made up for on the second or third or infinite try

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.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

I happen to agree with you. The dads kept count of the VB, otherwise we'd have been the coolest kids going around!

If it was a common thing for people to learn their lessons the world would be a much better place. :lol:

Screwing up my middle school life by being a [bleep] to all the girls in my grade. One more year here. God help me if they don't forgive me.

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

 

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.

Welcome to the NHK; I need to finish that.

 

 

 

I can go outside. I'm often just walking down to the river, buying some lunch from the shop and just sitting out there for a little while. I have problems going to school due to a particular person who's deciding to make me feel uncomfortable being there (using violence against the person isn't justified here - he's not being particularly confrontational, but he's sure saying some uncomfortable and untrue things about me.); just a few days ago he was saying that my life is "sh*t", and that I "spend all my time playing RuneScape and World of Warcraft" - two games that I quit two years ago. It kinda got to me that someone who I previously got on with quite well, before he got a girlfriend, would say those things to me. Maybe he was just trying to impress her. I don't know, but it sure makes me want to hide away even more.

 

 

 

I haven't been out with friends since I went to Norwich and got lost trying to find the train station in the dark. Not fun.

 

 

 

Wow, this is probably the most I've ever said about myself on the Internet.

[John Halo Chief]

hmmm... probably thinking about liking girls in elementary school. i got nothing out of it but beatings from my guy friends.

[Salad]

Making my whole class think I was changing school, they actually believed me because my story wasn't so bad, but I lost a couple of friends... and got hurt a little bit.... I mean a lot.

[Embrace]

Lol, Salad, I did the same thing, and the principal ended up calling my mom to see if my position in our class was going to be open next year...Lol

[aquariusman]

This might sound a bit corny, but I'm happy right now, so everything someone else might consider a mistake, I just consider a step towards being where I am right now, which is happy. I have decent grades (Would be much better if I tried), in a lull between sports, school ends/summer starts in a matter of weeks. Really, the only thing I would change right now is making a day have more than 24 hours.

 

 

 

Me making myself feel good aside, my biggest mistake was actually being too lazy to start my social life a few years ago.

[deathdrow]

I regret not having done pretty much all the work we've been giving lately, now I've got 2 and a half weeks of school left to do a ton of work. ):

[Friendyboy]

I only regret one thing. At the time it was what was best for the both of us as we were not even in a relationship. Not a day goes by that I think of what he would have been today. Abortion may seem the only way out, which is what I thought I wanted, but deep down, I wish I put up more of a fight for him. I doubt that whatever I would have said would have changed her mind, but I feel as if I had given up before I should!

 

 

 

It was a year in July since my son was taken from me. I will remember the day for the restof my life!
