Petty, I know, but I've not lived enough to regret too much.

There are many things I would change. One of them is rather recent as well. Life is full of mistakes and regret. Bleh.

Don't chase after girls that obviously don't like you and miss out on the ones that do.

Nothing wrong with being from Iran. I have a couple of very proud Persian friends who don't even like to be called "Iranians". They refer to themselves as Persians and look back into the "glorified" days of the Shah.

I've even seen Zoroastrianist Persians with the same principles. Stop hating on your ethnicity bro.

There was this girl in 9th... She was... very unique. I was afraid of expressing my feelings to her, and 2 years later, when I'm half the globe away, I find out she actually has feelings for me.

Petty, I know, but I've not lived enough to regret too much.

Arthur96

my story is kinda similar. there was this girl in my college .she was even my classmate . i studied 6 months in that college with herand fell in love with her (love at first sight kinda thing).then after 6 month i had to change my college for some reason. i could never find the courage to tell her how i felt maybe because i feel i am not good looking . now almost 3 years gone i still have feelings for her and i feel i made a mistake not telling her how i felt and i might never be able to because i dont know where she lives (although she is in the same city as me ).

i strongly regret not telling here and if i could change one thing in my life it would be this! :cry:

Nothing. Everything I've done at the point I did it. I had a reason for it. Whether it was busting my head open for not wearing a helmet when I was 5 or cheating on my 2 year girlfriend when I was 14. I learned to not be wreckless on a bike or you bust your skull open. I also learned don't fall in love. Love can get you killed. Emotionally and Mentally. (Hell maybe physically but not in my case)

well,your friends don't live here,they don't really know what it is like to spend your best years of life here in iran,and also being proud of this so called "glorified days of shah" is also another thing that irritates me,assuming that those days were indeed glorified (which also can be argued) i can't be proud of something that is belonged to the past,i just can't.i want something to be proud of NOW!i appreciate that you and some other OTers try to make be feel better though,means alot to me.

Really even with some of the mistakes i've made in my life. They were a learning process.

the only thing i can think of that i would change if i could. Would be to go back to my 15-16 year old self and slap some sense into myself, tell myself to lighten the **** up and enjoy life more.

That said though, perhaps that phase needed to happen in order to appreciate growing out of it.

To be quiet honest yea. I went through alot with that girl before I eventually said f*ck it and cheated on her. The last few months mind games were played by her and her friends and stuff. I mean I was also very mature for being 14 via some stuff that happened when I was liek 10 so thats sort of how i was able to understand "love". But that relationship made me realize that women aren't really worth it until your ready for a family or some stuff lol

What happened when you were 10? And I suppose I agree with your last statement. That's probably why none of my friends are bothering with chicks at the moment despite being good students with decent money who visit the gym regularly.

Well it had been like 2 years after my parents split up and my mom was a drug addict (which i didn't know at the time) and said "oh i have to go get milk." Yeah she left for 3 days. I ended up having to cook for myself which was tough cause I had never did it before. But yeah she just left me for 3 days while she like went to New York (I live in jersey btw). Then after she came back she was high off drugs and told me to get out and called the cops saying I wouldn't come back inside even though the door was locked.Not knowing whether your mom is coming home ever again isn't the best thing to deal with. Then not 6 months later she kicked me out for real and I moved in with my dad. That whole ordeal somehow made me think differently then other people. Having your dad leave at 8 then mom at 10 isn't the coolest thing ever. I mean yeah my dad just left my mom but he still wasn't around for a good long while.

I don't care how my future would end up since I'm not exactly amused by the present, but I wouldn't have ditched school with friends back in 7th grade, which triggered many events that messed up my life socially to this day. I can't say how I would end up if I did decline cutting school that one day, but I think I would have a much easier and healthier social life than I do now. I'd be able to trust people more easily too. I'd most likely be a more successful person than I am now....

Well, a few years ago before I joined this site I was with a guy and he was just horrible. I never had any time to breathe.. he was always around, telling me what I shouldn't be doing, annoying the living crap out of me. I never thought about it at all. Even if he did piss me off to no end I thought that he was the one for some odd reason. Since I listen to music for over a couple hours each day, I will hear the common lyrics like "I need you" "I can't live without you" oh and the one teeth gritting least favorite of mine is the song My Life Will Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson. Over and over I thought that. He actually broke up with me. Now, he thinks that he made a mistake and still to this day tries to talk to me and wants me back. Well even today after being single for a long while, but this is a new person, I hear that same Kelly Clarkson song again and I just don't want to think about it, I want it to go away.

I would delete all my bad and offensive posts from Brazzilforum.

This thread kind of reminds me of the 1998 song from Aqua - Turn back Time.

We can't change (or correct) the past. We can only affect the future.
