I regret dating my ex. I wish I majored in a more useful field.

I regret not doing things I didn't do.

I regret that I hid my true personality from the people in my life for 30 years. That I did the same thing on WP for 12 years. I was afraid that my parents would disown me, which my mum did for three days. It's not my fault that her dad was stationed in England for the duration of WWII. However it was my fault that I hid my true colours for 30 years. I try to imagine how things would have been different if I didn't hide anything and if I didn't take the family name so literally.

I dont think i would have chosen that lifestyle if my mother hadnt kicked me out just before i reached 18
my baby is 15 now and is neurotypical but i would never kick him out when he turns 18 he will leave home when he is ready

some parents have a attitude where they kick you out as soon as your 18 because they think that just because your an adult they think you can take on the world and sort yourself out but its wrong to do that
your children are family and always will be so nobody should kick their children out if they have no place to go even neurotypical

I wanted to kick myself out when I was 18; but my mother wouldn't allow it....

But I did leave at 20.

I have fairly diverse experiences in my life. I have lived many different lifestyles.
I regret some of the things i have done.

Drinking too much on many occasions
like an un-tethered boat being thrown around in the storm

trying to get a grasp of what is going on around me

I think I regret not releasing music i made when I was in my 20s, in my early home studios.
As a lot of it was dubstep that predated dubstep. should i say before the local DJs broke in and stole my music for the first (of many times).

I regret not taking every many of the opportunities that came my way when it comes to woman.
I regret not travelling more when i was younger (but i never really had that much money to throw around).
I regret not moving to Japan in my 20s
I regret not doing BJJ and Judo in my late teens (instead of doing them later).
I regret dropping out of karate as a kid, before i got my instructors licence (one belt away from assistant instructor in Karate)...

I don't regret so much my experiments on recreational psychedelics, although I do regret or should i say, resent how hurt my parents have been due to my brother and my antics in such endeavours. But this is a great deal to do with the way the world perceives such antics than the antics themselves.

I regret getting involved with my ex-wife.
I regret being so reliant on the people around me who i thought were friends, only later on in life finding that when i had something that they wanted, they would quiet happily try to murder me in order to take what i had.
I regret regarding them ever as friends.

But hey, we all have regrets...

As the old saying goes....
Regrets, i've had a few....
But even with these regrets, I know i have lived at least some of my life as a person who is truly alive!
so if i died tomorrow, at least i got my moneys worth...
well, at least my money that actually found its way to me....
a lot of money that was rightfully mine got lost on its way....
likely many times over what i have ever had in my life...
but these crimes i speak of are for others to regret....

if the people involved regret anything
probably not... sociopaths are more common in some industries...
(DJ SocioPath and DJ NarCissist in da house! as usual)...
