Coming out so late. But better late than never.

Joining JUB and finding out what a selfish place the internet is. People use others and discard them like trash.

Trusting every ill thing that was told to me during my life. I should have trusted and respected me better in life. At 46, finally getting life together but it is quite tough.

Fell in love with a straight friend, broke my heart. lesson learned.

Ditto on that one

I sold something of great value to someone who promised me something of great value in return. He totally failed to deliver and I lost about $400k, compared to what I would have if I'd kept it. I'd be doing very well for myself now instead of scraping by, barely making it month to month. There's not a day goes by that I don't bitterly regret that.

Always, always, always get everything in writing.

Not telling someone special how I really felt about her. It could all be so different - no guarantees, of course, but now I'm left with "if only I'd tried..." You have to be in it to win it, as the saying goes.

As it is, she's getting married to someone else in 3 weeks' time.

Not wanting to put a damper on the thread, but this article is interesting in so far as once you've read it, you can change your future...

The most important line in your post.

I have some financial regrets. I made several investments that totally flopped costing me tens of thousands of dollars. Thankfully, I'm doing well now financially but hate to think how much better off I'd be were it not for certain choices I made. I try to view them as expensive education but still burns my ass to think about.

My worst regret has nothing to do with money though. My worst regret is how I treated my brother growing up. I was mean and hurtful to him. Didn't realize how much I was hurting him. He's forgiven me and I am very kind to him now but don't know that I'll ever forgive myself. I can't stand to think that my some of my actions brought someone so much pain.

There was the boy I had a major crush on, biggest crush of my life actually. we played hockey against each other and I caught him staring at me a few times and even when i looked at him he kept doing it. He was such a twink and really sweet and gentle. I wanted him so bad and I had this feeling he wanted me and I wish I would've given him a hint or talked to him or something. It's just hard in sports because what if he wasn't into it everyone could find out and I wasn't ready for that, he has a gf now but who knows maybe he is bi and I missed my chance, maybe he would've experimented. I would've done anything to pleasure him I wanted him so bad. Still do

the 17 year old blond god i met at camp when i was 15
he was the hottest guy i had ever seen in my life and he was sleeping on the bed above me, he was perfect to everything, was the leader of our group super nice and helpful athletic and had the best abs
i sooooo liked him that i hated being there and i wanted to go back home but i stayed because of him
i felt him staring at me sometimes but not very often cause there very other boys around us all the time
ii regret i didn't spend more time with him and i left camp and i didn't talk to him the moment i had the chance to, then i lost his number...
i am still thinking about him 6 years later wish i could meet him one day but the only thing i know about him is his first name

Not being there when my first love died...

Let me explain. Vincent, my first love and boyfriend and I had been together for seven years. We had been lifelong friends, and I finally made the move on him when I couldn't hold in my feelings anymore. Luckily, he decided that he felt the same about me. We had a very interesting relationship. Both of us were still living at home with our respective parents, and totally in the closet.

One Saturday night, he wanted to go out drinking. He was 23, I was 22. I didn't feel great that night, and told him I was staying home. I think he was a little pissed that I had said "no" and went out anyway. He wasn't drunk, but his car slid on a patch of black ice, and crashed into tree. He died. I still live with the survivor's guilt. Maybe if I had gone with him, I would have driven instead. Maybe I would have been able to save him if we had been in that accident together. Maybe we would have died together. Who knows...

Even after 26 years, and my life has continued, I still think about him each day.

Not turning back that one time. Just that one time.

Not making a move on about a dozen or so very very hot, nice, good guys who were interested in me but I was too shy and awkward to let them know that, or even talk normally to them. Now I'm ready, and they seem to have disappeared!
