What is your life's greatest regret?

Comments

[continuousgroaning]

after reading everything above it's stupid

but i regret spending way too much time chasing after a boy who didn't like me as much as i liked him

[justaskalice]

is that worse or better than not pursuing one who did?

[continuousgroaning]

It's hard to say

because i kept going after this guy and any other relationships I had didn't last long

not here

[girlybruiser]

[ THIS IS SO SAD. ]

[You're right, that does sound stupid.]

That does seem a rather foolish pursuit.

[continuousgroaning]

it was fun at the time, when i still thought i had a chance, but now that I have some distance from it and realized he was probably stringing me along i do feel like a fool

[d33tached]

You might count yourself lucky, then, to have only something so childish as your greatest regret.

[continuousgroaning]

well, yeah

i mean i am 14

[d33tached]

[Listen, D33 doesn't have the greatest impression of what typical 14-year-olds go through, okay?]

I hardly see what that has to do with anything.

[continuousgroaning]

It means i haven't had a lot of life experience yet

[d33tached]

[Probably more than he has, honestly.]

Perhaps not, though your age doesn't necessarily contribute to that fact.

[continuousgroaning]

in my home world it usually does

though everyone is different

[d33tached]

[What a mild world you must have lived in.]

At any rate, woes regarding unrequited romantic feelings are hardly anything to agonize over.

[He should know???]

There are far worse things to regret.

[continuousgroaning]

yeah, yeah, yeah

but telling yourself you shouldn't feel bad because other people have it worse isn't good

[d33tached]

Isn't it?

Wouldn't such thinking be some sort of comfort? At the very least, it should make some sort of logical sense, shouldn't it?

[No, really. He's not just being a shit, he literally doesn't understand this.]

[continuousgroaning]

well, for me, when someone else says that it just makes me feel worse

like, oh, my problems are so insignificant, why am I feeling bad at all? then when you can't make yourself stop feeling bad it just keeps building and building

i know better than to assume everyone is like that, but I can't just make an emotion stop

[d33tached]

[Bad advice coming in 3, 2--]

Perhaps you might think to practice that skill, then.

[You know, the "make all of my emotions stop every time I feel anything and hold them all in until I die" skill.]

[continuousgroaning]

why would I

[d33tached]

Emotions tend to interfere greatly with every day tasks when they become too much to bear.

Learning to control them would be to anyone's benefit.

[Very bad advice!]

[continuousgroaning]

well, that may be, but I wouldn't want to just not feel anything and i feel like that would be the end result

plus I'm not sure it's possible anyway

[d33tached]

[Maybe a year ago he would have argued that point, but, as of right now:]

Perhaps not.
