Do you have any personal regrets from the year that's almost past?

Making personal choices that you regret can sometimes take a toll on the life, mind and body.

I was thinking about this earlier…

I was thinking that I may regret the fact that I really wasn’t social this year. I buckled down and got a 4.0 but I’ve missed out on a lot of stuff…a lot of friends, parties, events, etc.

However, now that I think about it, it wasn’t a bad thing. I’ve learned a LOT and I feel stable and happy. I’m on the right track. I got into a humanities honor society. Yes, maybe I wasn’t very social, but it was a sacrifice for something that I feel was worth it. And that’s why I don’t regret it…

I regret letting friends and family drag me to movies that I knew I wouldn’t enjoy, and then didn’t enjoy.

Life made the choices for me but all in all an okay year. Except I gained a tonnage of weight. I sooo do regret that.

Not really regrets as much as they were just bad experiences. This year has been really rough. :(

I regret letting my health problems get the best of me. I’ll do better this coming up year!

Haroot's avatar

I regret nothing. If some of it had never happened, I wouldn’t be where I am now. For better or worst.

SoulSearcher's avatar

Yeah, I have a few.

Way too many to count unfortunately.

I regret words spoken in anger. I lost my temper several times and I said things that can’t be taken back.

I didn’t pay my last quarterly estimated income tax.

I regret not yet having taken a yoga class, since it was one of my goals for 2009.
I still have 18 days yo!
can you tell I’m a procrastinator?

I didn’t study as hard as I wanted to, so I’ll be in school for an extra semester. But I did a lot of fun crazy stuff, so it was worth it :D

This has been a great year for me, I got a new grandson, and had fun with his older brother (the two year old) every weekend. I didn’t get anything worse than a cold or two, nobody died (although the year isn’t over yet, and my FIL is right on the edge). Oh, wait, this is the wrong question, sorry.

Excuse my choice of words here but fuck 2009 & 2008 for that matter. 2010 is gonna rule.

faye's avatar

Oooh, let’s hope so!!

belakyre's avatar

I guess I’ve always regretted being anti-social, especially this year. I’ve always wanted to improve and continue to strive beyond my goals but this year really sucked. I really am looking forward to next year though, and I really hope that I will do better in 2010.

This year has been a massive emotional roller coaster…and can’t say it’s going to end with me feeling on a high. Thing is though I’ve stuck with my believe that there’s no point sitting back and waiting for life to happen…so you’ve got to hit the good with the bad.

King_of_Sexytown's avatar

@judochop I share your feelings. I wanted 2009 to end as early as Dec. 2008. I just knew it was gonna suck!!!

FrickenFlutherer's avatar

Not that I recall but your question really got me contemplating all of this year. Thanks.

Blondesjon's avatar

I don’t feel that I drank as much as I could have. There are still 18 more days to go. I may be able to rally through the Holidays.

In terms of my personal life, this has been the worst year of my life. Financially I’m fine. I’d rather not get into the personal issues on a public forum.

hungryhungryhortence's avatar

Yes. I regret messing around with one particular person and I also regret not taking over the household bills sooner than last month.

wundayatta's avatar

I, too, regret messing around with a particular person (not you @hungryhungryhortence, someone else ;-). I made a big mistake in judgment—both about my life and also about this person’s character. I guess I just don’t expect people I like to be mean to me. Maybe once, but definitely not twice. It’s pretty painful. Probably no less than I deserve.

pearls's avatar

In reflecting on this past year, Zacky, I can’t recall one thing that I have regretted.

Futomara's avatar

I regret I haven’t yet mastered time travel. Unfortunately, the best I can do is travel forward in time, one second at a time.
