What's your biggest regret in life?

It seems most people will mention something from a relationship. If that is the case then why do you hold the value of that so highly.

    Not cleaning my ex-wife out and kicking her evil butt to the curb when she cheated on me. Should've gutted her financially and ruined her career and taken full custody of my son

    I Do have many regrets and the most biggest regret is not only on relationships but on life itself, i always ended up regretting things jsut after i made the mistake. Well the truth is it doesnt matter what it is we hold all of our regrets highly when it truly changes us whehter physically or just inwardly... i believe that we should jsut remember about the past but remember that it is the past and enjoy the present and keep ur head up to face the future.

    It is not taking a chance to know more people better. I see from so many of the questions on here how young kids are embarrassed to make a first move or let someone know how they feel about them. I remember being the same way, and when I look back I see all those chances I didn't take and am left with a lot of what might have been's.

  • I used to say I regretted nothing, because every mistake I made is a learning experience. For the most part, that's true. But then I realized I regretted one thing: I bought a really crappy CD once. I learned nothing from that, and I really miss the ten bucks.

    Otherwise, nothing.

    Not being as open and outgoing as I could be, being mean and not making much of a [good] difference in peoples lives. I want to take it ALL back and be a different self. But time doesn't rewind for one person or even a million, sadly. If time DID rewind, I'd go back and eradicate September 11, for one thing.

    My biggest regret is the way I treated my mother when I was a teenager. I was horrible. I has since pulled my head out of you know where and I tell her I love her everytime I talk to her. Thanks for the great question.

    I don't have a regret. I'm not saying my life was perfect, but I just don't care. There's no point to think about the past.

    I regret when I was young not telling people more of what I knew they were in. I was afraid of "hurting" people's feelings or loosing them as friends at the expense of what could have helped them.

    Gotta go with none. Not that I haven't make some serious mistakes. I think it is all part of what makes me - me. I like how I am and I think if you change something or regret it - then you change who you are.

    I have no regrets in my life. I'm where I want to be and I am who I am. Everyone is entitled to make mistakes, but it's what you learn from them.
