@Cozy-Talk People sometimes end up missing the opportunity to tell someone something before it was too late. It is a regret people carry, but people end up regretting a lot of things in life that they wish they did but didn’t. It is important to always forgive yourself in these situations because no one can predict the future. No one can know when to act and when they will never have that opportunity again. And that is okay.
When I was in middle school, there was this kid I knew that had apparently said a weird joke to some girl, and she was loudly shaming him for it. He seemed embarrassed and put his head down and was sad. I personally noticed that his best friend had started not sitting by him anymore and sat with other people, completely ignoring him at lunch. I wish I had the confidence at the time to talk to him and somehow make him feel better. Maybe show him I noticed him. And cared. I think about that incident sometimes.
I know one thing, though. Regret gets you nowhere in life. It is okay to feel regret, but it is what you do with it that matters. You can feel bad for what you didnt do or say to someone forever or learn to use that desire for a different outcome to make better choices in the future. I might not have much more confidence today than I did then, but one day, someone will be in a similar situation and I will do my best to help them even if I’m a little nervous.
What is something you wish you did or said to someone but didnt?

@Duchess i wish i hadnt apologized for having an opinion to someone. i was blinded by the fact i thought id be lost without them and i apologized for things i wasnt even wrong for. i feel bad for making myself feel like everything was my fault when it really wasn’t

@Duchess said in Regrets?:

A couple months ago I had a nice group of friends, it was small but decent. I had a trio inside of the group as well though I was somewhat close with the other. Around September, maybe October, I started getting drowned with school. I wasn’t able to get my phone till late at night and the time that I did have access to my phone, I didn’t spend it with my friends, I spent it with my boyfriend and other “friend.” Now I loved the time I spent with my boyfriend and the endless conversations we had and I don’t regret that one bit. However, I chose to befriend a girl our entire group hated. I didn’t see much wrong with it originally, especially since it seemed she had changed and was “genuinely” sorry for everything she said and did. I did tell them about her apology and all, but by the time me and her were friends, I knew me and my group had drifted away, or more so, I drifted away. And I was fine with that, actually I was feeling emotional a couple days before and decided to write a diary entry where I wrote how I felt about my friends. Clearly our friendship wasn’t gonna last, but I still wanted to help fix it. Then, another one of my friends, I remember it clearly, I was laying down in bed, it was either Saturday or Friday, when I got a long paragraph from her about how she felt about me (Wasn’t the best night). I didn’t respond 'till later on considering I was scared and didn’t know how too. A couple days after we were fine, or so I thought. We were having somewhat normal conversations again. But then again, I got flooded with school, I don’t think anyone knew that though. I stopped talking to everyone all together, except the one girl everyone hated. I called her every night and they knew that, I even called her my best friend once (In my Discord status). Not too long after I got paragraphs from all of them. I’m not going to go into detail, but basically I picked up I wasn’t liked anymore and there was no fixing it. I only responded to one of them, the easiest one to respond too (I was kind of having a “panic attack” so anything I said didn’t even make sense lol). I was planning on responding to everyone, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t face the two girl who I loved and cared for. So I blocked them all on everything I could think of. I blocked them here, Roblox, TikTok, anything they could’ve contacted me with. I didn’t block them because I hated them, I blocked them because I hated myself and couldn’t accept the fact I was the problem. To this very day, I think about them a lot, I even quit playing the games we used to play (Roblox games, Fortnite, etc.). I fell into sort of a sad period. Literally anything and everything could’ve made me cry. I got over it once Thanksgiving hit, thank God. But I always wondered what would’ve happened if I had called them once. Or if I had invited them to play something with me. Or maybe if I had responded once I cooled down.
So yeah, I regret not doing anything to prevent that.

@Miss_Americana Wow that’s long. My baddddd

I wish I left my old friend group's faster. I also wish I had taken care of myself more
-
@Duchess throughout everything and every mistake that ive done or made, i dont regret anything because im slowly believing that all the mistakes and bad shit that ive done it makes me the person i am now. i wish i didnt do some things but i dont regret anything. some people dont believe that and have other thoughts on that but i dont regret anything that ive done. the one thing that i do kinda hate myself for is making myself believe that people always care and will be there for you because even if someone is nice and kind to you doesnt mean that they havent talked shit or betrayed you.

I wish that I had told my dad how I feel about my step mom sooner before he had already married her.
-
@Miss_Americana Honestly, after reading all of that, if I were in your shoes I wouldn’t regret it at all. If they hate someone and refuse to let you talk to that person at all, that’s not on you, that’s on them. They’re trying to gatekeep who you are and aren’t friends with under the threat of the storybook-old threat, commonly used by idiotic children: “I won’t be your friend anymore!!”
They were clearly toxic, like a girlfriend that doesn’t let you have female friends just because she’s “jealous.” Good on you for blocking them, actually. <3

Cursed Cucumber Not to get in your business but I do agree. Your brother has told me a bit about her and I don’t like her even though I don’t even know her 🤣

@Duchess i wish i told my best friend that i loved him and i was sorry for saying stuff about his brother before he took his life

I regret and i wish i could go back in time to do not let my mother go to the supermarket, or simply go with her. as you may know (or not) i live in a fucked up place in frankfurt where people are madmans and drive like there was no tomorrow, so when my mother was heading to the supermarket, a dude which i will never forgive ran her over with a truck, i still wonder if she ever saw that vehicle coming or it was just peaceful for a short time until it came speeding.
thankfully justice was served, what a lovely way to lose a loved one -
@Miss_Americana Wow, Im sorry that happened. I know it is hard to accept how people feel about you. I feel like they werent exactly nice about it or even open to you changing since they said there was no fixing it. That is sad. I definitely understand the feeling though. Quitting those games you played with your old friends. I did that once becuase I made a huge mistake I made. I just wanted nothing to do with my friends. Even though it’s hard to think about what could have happened, I hope you make good solid friends who, yes, are honest, but also will not let the things they dont like stop you guys from still being friends. I feel like they should have tried making you feel better. But. It’s the past now, and I think that’s a good thing lol
{_𝐘𝐋𝐋_} It is not easy to let go of friend groups because when you leave, you want something to lean back on. And there’s also that hope that the situation will get better. It takes a while to diagnose situations early before it gets bad, but you will learn how to. It might feel like you’re not giving people a chance, but it’s a much better than leaving your feelings in the dust.
I think that is a good way of thinking to be honest. Every mistake is a lesson if you at least take it that way.
Cursed Cucumber Yes.
