Something that you regret from your childhood

[Ultimate Fatal 776]

I could go on a field day with this.

 

One thing I really regret is going on that one field trip back in eighth grade. I had no friends and everyone else had somebody to hang out with. I had nobody... Entire day ruined. I should have just stayed back and did all that bookwork the people who couldn't go had to do. It would have been better.

I know how that feels, I've been there.

I'm pretty sure that it happened to me twice.

 

When I was in 6th grade and the school year was almost over my school decided to give us the option to go to a camp for a whole week. Well I thought it would be fun so I decided to sign up and I got a seat on the bus. Long story short I cancelled at the last possible chance and they gave my seat to someone else. I am so thankful that I did that because I would have been alone up there for the entire week.

 

This is something that I do not regret doing.

I regret not asking a girl out I actually really liked. Turns out, she liked me back then as well. Even now, years later, whenever I think about it I can't help but facedesk or facepalm multiple times.

I always end up regretting selling things like video games. I may not want them now but later I always end up wanting to play them again. Now I never get rid of anything and have way to much junk. Also, when I was in 5th grade at a school halloween party, a girl in my class asked me to dance. At the time I was still in my "girls are gross" phase so I said no. It came out meaner than I intended and the sad look on her face still makes me feel guilty.  I also think she may have cursed me or something because I haven't had any luck with women since. I'm practically ignored by them.

One and this one is a hell of an embarrassing thing to do... not to mention unwise or manly

 

I was going home with my mom and I don't know why but I realized know that I have more girl/female friends back then rather than having masculine friends... that's weird. No where was I... oh, one of them came up to me and gave me a flower, I mean what the heck is this, I decided to act though because there were a lot of dudes around there and I took the flower, threw it on the ground and stomp on it... It's painful for me now to even write this down.

Being a loner. I just kinda got introverted and shy, and pretty much was like that all through high school. It kept me out of sports, clubs, and other extracurriculars, and tbh its a mindset I'm having a bitch of a time trying to change now that I'm in college. It's true, old habits die hard. VERY hard.

Well I was not a kid but a teenager at the time..

 

Some of you may know I was drug addict for a number of years, I did it all! any drug you can name I did it. I smoked it, I hate it, I snorted it etc. My favorite was heroin, anyway I got my friend in to it.

 

Over time I got clean, and fixed up my life. Sadly he did not. I tried to help him.. if you could even call it trying.. he didn't want my help or my friendship anymore.. last time I got to talk with him we only yelled at each other.

 

2weeks after I talked with him, his brother called me saying "He od'd".

 

I wish I could go back in time and make it to where he lives and I die...

So much to change......

 

I was a pretty messed up kid at first, as well as making a lot of mistakes that haunt me at times, but the list is too much to begin with.

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,331]

Oh where do I begin.

 

Well for starters, some of the kids shows I watched as a child. Well some did age well with me (billy and mandy, Ed, Edd, n Eddy, old spongebob, etc.) Some shows I liked as a kid really didn't age well. (Most teen sitcoms except a few, new spongebob and those preschool shows.) Seriously, why did I ever like Dora so much that my 6th birthday party was Dora themed? *cringes*

 

Another thing was when I was really little, I would reference every show I heard. One time I saw the Jimmy Neutron movie and I called my Mom sugar booger. Oh gosh that was what the dad said to the mom.

 

Also growing up, I got scared a lot at night. So much, that I couldn't even sleep in my room alone even with a night light. So I would always want to sleep in my mom's bed. It's ironic since now I like to sleep alone for peace and quiet.

 

And finally, as a kid, I was a big cry baby. I would cry over some stupid reasons. I have caused scenes over not getting picked to share something in class or not getting picked to volunteer in school assembles.

 

Well that's enough cringing for now.

I wish I was more practical and skillful when I was younger. I spent way too much time playing video games and watching cartoons. I really should have studied more and obtained some useful skills. Getting a job when I was a teenager would also have been nice. I regret not making many friends when I was a teenager. At least I have learned from my mistakes, and I am happy about that.

I regretted telling everyone in my grade that I was autistic. When I was a kid, I thought my classmates were nice people and I thought being autistic was a cool thing. Oh how wrong I was... they ended up being the pain of my life, calling me names and pushing me around because they thought I was retarded. It wasn't until I finally left the school that I began to recover from all the mental scars they placed on me. What I hate the most is that most of my friends don't even realize the pain they inflicted on me after all those years...

I regret that I've never obtained any talents or skills, there's nothing I'm good at, I've never done anything worthwhile. I wish I had pushed myself to learn a creative talent, or that someone else had encouraged me to do something with my time. It would be so nice if I could draw, paint, write, play an instrument or anything like that because I now spend every day doing absolutely nothing. With all the free time I have I should be doing something creative.

^^^soooooo much this! I couldn't have said or expressed it better...just one talent would be nice! alas... :/ i guess another regret would be when I got my dreamcast and wanted to play Phantasy Star Online, I stole my dad's credit card out of his wallet and ordered it online...but when the game came in the mail i lied, then his statement came in the mail....i tried an epic lie but it failed...i felt so bad cause i am super tight with my family and dont know why I did this...the worst part was just my dad's dissapointment in me after about a week they gave me the game anyway and I felt so guilty that I didnt start playing it for months...

Fortunately it's never too late to find a talent or learn new things, or so I've been told, but the person who tells me this is the smartest, most talented person I've ever known, so I kind of have to believe it. I'm not sure how to find a talent though.

[~Lawful Haze~ 173]

Not communicating more with people who were older than me...could've sorted out a lot more problems that way, y'know?

 

but noooooooooooooo I was too shy

This is very true. I was totally inspired by looking through the art forums yesterday and am gonna try my hand at drawing ponies soon Also, my little sister has been playing the piano forever and she recently offered to teach me.....but I dunno if I have enough patience for that :/

There are a lot of things that I feel bad about doing when I was a kid but I would never go back and change anything, our actions in the past are what make who we are today.

I regret being born for starters, as my life seems to be a culmination of one mistake after another.

 

As a four year old I went to a daycare where we had a shelf where we kept our packed lunches on and I couldn't reach it and one of my friends said he would get it, but then another kid got to it before him and brought it to me and I said; 'I thought he was going to get it?' because it seemed rude to me at the time and I get sent to a fifteen minute 'time out' afterward.

 

In second grade I got angry at my best friend over something stupid (I think it was because I lost a game or something during recess) and said that we weren't friends anymore before cooling off the next day.

 

When my mom was at work when I was ten years old, my younger brother and I got into a fight and stabbed him in the head with a pair of scissor (he was fine thought, they didn't go in that deep and at that point I realized that the fight had gone too far.)

 

A year or two later after coming home from school in the spring he ran into the house and locked me out, that's when I picked up a log that was lying in our backyard and threw into the kitchen window.

 

We have way too many cats and so every three months or so we have a new batch of kittens (thanks to my mom's mental illness) and one day while everyone was out of the house it was climbing on the counter while I was on the phone before it jumped on my shoulder and dug its claws into me before I threw it on the ground and stomped on it-it died a few days later and I felt terrible.

 

I then made the mistake of making more friends who were actually stealing from me and my family to buy drugs and videogames and everyone in my family blamed me for it-my younger brother still does.
