    I really don't have any big regrets. I've lived my life by my own convictions and when I leave this world one, I'll take great compfort in that.

    One regret I do have, and it sounds silly, is when I was in New Zealand with my little sister - we were trying to decide whether we wanted to either go to a zoo, or to an amusement park on our last day there - and we went to the zoo instead. We really could have gone to the zoo anytime back at home.

    I only have regrets about not trying my best, or possibly if I overdo it on the sweets :tongue:.

    I always feel okay about confiding in people, because it's who I am. I am quite open and honest, and I cannot change that.

    Sometime's I regret bringing up my concerns to people, but mostly because when I do that Im only
    looking to justify an excuse Im making to do something that is regretable in the first place.
    If Im expressing my views on matters that dont immediatley concern myself, no I dont regret anything
    I say because I count myself lucky to have 2 friends who are always willing to help me; I dont
    expect anyone else to actually care about my thoughts.

    Tree - one of the two you mean:

    a) Opening up to people on the forums. Some jerk will always turn something serious to shit in here - me the first - well sometimes. Not always. However, you might get some interesting leads on how to solve a problem by listening to how other would deal or how they feel.

    b) Opening up to people in real life. I've worked in office for 25 years this year. Offices are full of bitches - and I do mean male bitches too. Fifty% of the work is backstabbing and judging people. I have learned something important from offices that help in real life: be quiet until you have been able to identify the people around you. It doesn't usually take too much time to find out who's an idiot, a blabbermouth, ect, et al... Then, it's up to you to have a strong enough character to "edit" your comments. It's always better to say less than too much. Also, the less you say, the more you will be in demand. I forgot who said this: what I say, I already know, when I hear others talk, I can learn.

    Yeah I regret some things.
    I can't really fathom how some people don't regret anything.

    But maybe regret "alone" is a waste of energy.
    So whats the feeling that I call "regret"?
    Dunno, maybe its sadness?Or a feeling that I don't fully understand a lesson going into the future.What we truly believe in only changes over a long time.So maybe what we don't believe in doesn't change quickly either?

    Maybe regret is really the feeling that we aren't fully in control of our futures?

    I have tons of regrets but I can live with them.

    But like you I find that opening up totally to someone is something that must be done very carefully.

    You are quickly becoming my favorite...which means I must be brain damaged.

    Welcome to the hipforums. May your stay be long and std free.
