things you regret doing

[Holla]

The only thing I really regret is getting into my previous abusive relationship. Sure it’s led me to the amazing one I have now but it’s definitely messed me up in some ways. I’ll need to overcome those things in order to make the most of my new relationship.

Once I do though I know I’ll be able to build an even stronger bond than I had ever imagined.

I regret being born.

Stealing a pair of shorts from my neighbors back when I was like 9 or 10. .-.

Being an actual prick to people who tried to help me from 4th to 7th grade (adjusting to life in the U.S. and school in general)
I was a real bully during 5th grade actually, and I wish I could find those people and beg for forgiveness
For example, I fat-shamed a couple of my classmates (despite being clinically obese myself at the time) and threatened to cut a girl's hair (idek why)

Sometimes I hate my past self

Yes I have regrets. None that I feel like sharing, but I feel like regretting is what makes us human. It’s what leads us to want to do better and be a better person. If you don’t have any regrets than you’re not taking responsibility for your own actions.

Yes... there are quite a bit of things I do regret doing in life.

One of them is just; being too dependent on others (specifically significant others), which ends up with them leaving me in the long run :'3 I'm trying to change and work on becoming more independent so my codependency problem doesn't get in the way.

I don’t regret much, as I know if it wasn’t for my mistakes I wouldn’t be here today. But, there’s a few things I definitely wish I could go back and redo.

- Allowing myself to yell at people out of stress. I tend to get anxiety and oanicattacks and when I do so, I will yell and say things I don’t mean to people. This resulted in a few of the people I care about getting mad at me, which later results into me hating myself. I remember I had a friend who I cared deeply about and while they never said anything to me, I knew he wasn’t okay with me yelling at him all the time.

-being so gullible. I’ve been hurt so many times by the same one person, yet I still stay in that relationship. I just want to be allowed to be me, but apparently that’s not good. She would always manipulate me into doing whatever she wanted, and honestly she still could. After I finally said something about it, she’s completely ignored me and started talking trash about me to others. I guess I wish I would’ve never got into that friendship in the first place.

- caring soooooo much about my grades in school. Yes, I know grades are important but I used to stress to unmeasurable amounts because I didn’t want to fail my family. My parents thankfully never minded if I did a bad job on something, so I’m not sure where that pressure came from.

- really random, but looking up Dimitri from Fe3h before I got to the time skip. I wish I would’ve waited that way I was surprised when I saw his new look.

I regret most of my life, including being born lmao but I kind of regret confronting my coworker about her work. She got very defensive and started to criticize me even though I've been doing all of the work and I brought it up in the gentlest way possible. She stated that no one can tell her to do any differently, not even our bosses and that I should continue to do the work as it's being done and that she has complete authority. It's wild because she was saying I didn't have a passion for this kind of work and she implied that I was bad at my job. It's been bubbling for weeks now so I knew it would come to a head because she's been saying passive aggressive things for weeks any time I try to bring up the issue of work distribution but I honestly didn't expect her to be so rude and against trying things differently. Only after I told her I was going to quit after my contract, partly because of the hard time she was giving me, did she change her tune and open herself up to doing things slightly differently and apologized for how she spoke to me. I discussed it with other co-workers who are at the same level and they agreed that she doesn't have the authority to decide that for herself and deep-down she knows that as well. I could go to my boss about it but it would sour our relationship even further so I don't know if it's worth it, especially since I have to work with her on more projects for the rest of this year. I'm contemplating going to the head office about this but they might not do anything and just ask us to resolve it amongst ourselves. She's been nice to me outside of work related things, I think to try to get on my good side so she could pull that kind of BS at work. It sucks because I'm a yearly contract worker and a foreigner so that adds layers of complexity so it's my word against hers. The good thing is that the other coworkers know how hard I work and actually the previous person in my position also had a hard time with her. I think she knows all of this and that's why she acted so defensively. I have to watch my back from now on because she's going to try to launch a smear campaign against me but I'm just going to do my work the best that I can. I'm tired of living in this country and I want to move back to America soon but this basically cemented my resolve. I wanted to stay for another year to save up enough for a down payment on a house in SoCal, which is expensive as hell , but I am too mentally and physically exhausted. There are so many perks of living in this country like affordable health care, a robust public transportation system but the culture is making it difficult to stay and honestly I can see why the suicide rates are so high here.
