My regret: being too anxious and not assertive enough, I regret not coming out sooner. Wasted years worrying about it, worrying about pretty much everything. All the time,being too afraid to live.

I used to think my family can't survive without me, so I wasted enough time trying to be almost everything possible for them, but I was totally wrong.

What's yours
Exactly same to me wasted my 20s and early 30s building family business.... At the end turns its our work and its my money... Anytime I remember those hardwork dedication commitment I wished it was my business then... But we move

I regret snubbing a very attractive 42 year old American lady because of 10 years difference in age.

I didn't know how to pretend.

I wanted to leave the country back then.

Got admissions everywhere England, Usa, and Poland I felt finally I have arrived but unfortunately I got dupped.

Lost every penny in a flash, I couldn't even afford to feed myself.

That day I died inside and till today I will never recover from the shock.

The only reason I'm still is because I'm a coward that can't bear a little pain to end it all.

I wish I could go to bed and never wake up.

Not following Jesus at an early age, wasted most of my youthful age seeking mundane things..

That i didn't learn a money making skill immediately after NYSC, or even interning for free, if need be, to gain relevant experiences.

Though i believe the situation can still be remedied. But time is not my friend atm

the woman i married.
I regret not having given some ladies a chance in my early life(school,nysc ,others)...or not trying other ladies.
I was stuck with a promise of love and marriage to this woman since 100L...being a good boy. (now divorced tho).
I regret marrying from the family most importantly

My biggest regret is not settling for a polytechnic ND and wasted years cos I said to myself “ it’s a universit degree or nothing.. but thank God I eventually graduated from the university.

Bro remember the decision to either be sad or happy lies in you.
You just have to keep pushing.
There are millions of people that you are better than.
Don't write yourself off.
If I tell you my story,
You won't believe it.
I am going to 40, still living with my parents, no job, no child but I keep believing that one day it will be fine.

I regret investing in crypto. Lost millions. Back to square 1....all is well
And someone else said this is about the best decision they made in life. Between gambling and this, I no know which one risky pass.
Re: At Your Age, What's Your Biggest Regret In Life by Zain007(m): 8:33pm On Jun 27, 2023
I do understand how you feel but if you get to hear someone's else story out there, you will thank God for yours.

Personally, if am to calculate how much I lost within last year and this year, it will be close to 20m+ (failed agritech investments, amz withholding my money, hacking of my crypto wallet and all funds been wiped out by someone I don't know and some others that I can't mention) but despite all of this, I didn't allow them to move me or make me fall into depression. I am of the believe that as long as I still breathe, I can recoup all my losses (taking a cue from Job in the Bible). So when life knocks you down, you have got nothing else to do that to stand up, take lessons from your mistakes/bad experiences and move forward now being more careful. As long as you do still live, you still have the ability to do and achieve great things than you have in the past. Know that God still have a reason for keeping you alive till now, and never consider suicide as a option.

I have this saying that keeps me going on in life despite many setbacks which I will want you to ingrain into your heart as well and make use of it - " You're not a failure when you fall down but a failure when you refuse to get back up and try again"

I hope it doesn't for me I have seen enough already I think I'm ready and I'm no longer afraid.

I'm already dead inside.
Re: At Your Age, What's Your Biggest Regret In Life by Polyol(m): 8:33pm On Jun 27, 2023
No regrets at all.

Things aren't rosy but I never stopped planning and working towards it.
Re: At Your Age, What's Your Biggest Regret In Life by Iupacnomenclatu(f): 8:34pm On Jun 27, 2023
My regret is not having the courage and stubbornness to make my own decisions and take my life into my own hands.

You have to study medicine...okay! (Even though Economics was the love of my life then)

You have to go to OAU or UI..okay! (Even though OAU no give me any course for five straight years)

You cannot go to poly or do NCE,it's for never do wells....okay! (My mates who took that route have longed obtained their HND and some even travelled abroad for their Masters)

I hardly think about it now cos the pain is suffocating and sometimes lead me to thoughts of suicide.

Ironically though, I am now being asked why I didn't take the steps I had in mind then lol.
Re: At Your Age, What's Your Biggest Regret In Life by Styluss: 8:34pm On Jun 27, 2023
I regret not taking that huge step because I was afraid of debts.
Now I am in a better but worst place. sad

Not having the right opportunity at success early enough, not being connected to people that are genuinely interested in my progress and provide the opportunity and connection to achieve my desired growth.

"Whosever says progress isn't a slow process isn't talking about me"... I'll get that growth for sure, it's just painfully slow and very challenging, but as God live and as I live I will attain success and progress.
