I regret only starting to play basketball in grade 12, despite still making the AAA team and being a starter by the end of the year (imagine what could've been if I had started in like grade 5 or so.... )

I also regret never playing brood war, I could totally be pro sc player by now -.-

Letting people's opinions of me effect me to a point where it changed me and my life. But also looking forward when I get to the point that I'm stronger for it.

I'll tell you what i would regret - making a post here about some minor thing that got in the way of how great i should have been much sooner.

Guess i regret the time i've spent regretting stuff, what a futile and nonconstructive exercise.

I regret not making my magician in Everquest a gnome back in 2001 :[ He was a high elf with a gnome name and everyone always asked why I wasn't a gnome. QQ

The only regrets I have in my life are:

Not being able to face my fears and obstacles, which come my way.
Not being confident enough in myself in things I do, hindering myself in everything.

PandaCore,
never give up your playing instrument. You can improve and be good. If you play with someone else, of similar skill or better and if you love music, you will surely improve and enjoy it more.

Not starting weightlifting earlier =(
I was always the typical skinny nerd, even all the way through uni. At the time, never thought lifting weights is something I'd do. Started to lift about 6 months ago.. wish I'd started 6 years ago. Still, I'm only 22, not the end of the world.

The only 2 regrets I have are:

Not starting tennis until I was in 8th grade (by 12th I had a starting spot on the highschool team, we won state's that year)
Being solely a console gamer until 2 years ago/not playing BW until after SC2 came out

I regret concerning myself too much with the things I could've spent my time on regardless of whether I enjoyed the time I spent.

There are still many more things that I more or less regret and most of the stuff seems trivial to many I suppose. Also taking time to reflect surely is a good thing, but no use in griping over it.

what are those other trivial things? i'm interested to know, if i may ask

I regret all the dumb stuff that I said to girls without realizing it was dumb until after I said it. I have such a way with the ladies ><

Being a slacker, essentially what you said. My high school years were unproductive.

My high school years created a lot of bad habits and whatnot.

Saw this on reddit just yesterday, but couldn't find it again. I Googled it and it seems to have been copy/pasted on a million blogs, so I don't know where it came from, but here it is anyway.

Top 5 Regrets People Have on Their Deathbeds

I have a million regrets, but frankly I just wish I was a better person. I've tried to be for years and years but sometimes I think my idea of "better" is flawed and it tends to ruin friendships/relationships over and over again.

1. Almost got into a car accident. I couldn't merge onto the highway, lacked experience, so I stopped, and the person behind me did, but the person behind her didn't and their cars collided. No one got hurt but...

2. I should've walked her inside and kissed her

3. Trip to Montreal. A waste of money, but I did learn a few things and met a kewt gurl :3

4. Coming to this University. I don't know how things will turn out as a result of coming here so this is as of yet, a lesser regret... still it's pretty brutal here... University doesn't leave time for anything else during the school year

I don't normally regret what I do in life. I try to think of everything I do as a bit of an experiment, where I learn from my mistakes and I learn who I want to be. Those top two things do bother me every now and then though. Sometimes I do regret coming to this University too, the double all nighters get to you.

I think going to Montreal is one of my lesser regrets now

1. I regret not making myself say what I needed to say when I needed to say it.
2. I regret closing myself off from the world again and again.
Definitely things I need to work on.

Hug, anyone?

I regret not being into rap earlier.
And yeah, I could regret more serious issues but I'm not going to post that on the Internet, lol.

Mostly I regret not jumping on the teamliquid fitness initiative five years ago (not even sure if it was around then, but still...) If I knew then what I know now I think the last few years would've been a happier time for me.

Oh, and pretty much any time in my life where I tried to be religious to "fit in". As a matter of intellectual integrity I shall never do so again.

Oh, and pizza girl. One time I was going up to my room and some girl said yum pizza I sure wish I had some. Missed opportunity, there was a 99% chance she would've come to my room if I offered.
