Top 10 Things People Regret Most

The Top Ten

  1. Having "fun" with the wrong person

    I did not want to say the word I'm thinking of because there might be a kid somewhere, and I don't want to get flagged.

  2. Breaking up

    As soon as I break up with someone, I regret it the following day. Breaking up with someone you dearly love as a friend and potential lover isn't easy. I'm very selective, yet it's like taking a "you'll pay later" pill just for doing it. I don't heavily regret it, but I do regret my decision more for blindly doing it.

  3. Having kids

    There's at least one entire subreddit of regretful parents.

  4. Getting married

    Approximately 40-50 percent of first marriages and 60 percent of second marriages end in divorce. Divorce is complicated. Why even bother with marriage if it probably won't last anyway?

  5. Cheating

  6. Moving to another place

    Country, state, city, town, village, continent, planet.

  7. Speaking in anger

  8. Wasting time

    I love it here, but I'm making regrets right now. I know I will regret the time I spend on a screen instead of experiencing real communication. I guess I just don't have the will to leave and experience life.

  9. Not learning from their mistakes

  10. Hurting someone's feelings

    One girl asked me about her plaid shirt, and I said, "No offense, but that top is hideous, girl." I made her cry. It's not my fault plaid is hideous to me!

    I hate doing this, especially when I don't mean to, which seems to happen quite a lot, unfortunately.
