Started smoking (at age 17). Having a hard time quitting, but still trying.

BRB: Chit is expensive as hell
BRB: Quitting quite difficult
BRB: Severely limits dating pool
BRB: Smell like chit all the time
BRB: Catch every cold/virus going around and hold onto them forever
BRB: Dental issues

That I ever let myself get hooked on tobacco is by far my worst regret. Don't ever start if you haven't already.

Being a fat fuk from age 8 - 18. Skin isn't tight (not sagging but forever love handles) and it fuked with my confidence as a kid and development of social skills.

Breaking My leg skiing when I was six- leg is 3/4 inch longer than the other and I have knock knees (may partially be from growing up fat. I see other fatties with these. Wet Breasts has them bad)

Not wearing my retainer properly. It stopped fitting right, and sleeping with it in like that for years caused me to develop anopen bite, and now I'm on braces again and getting expensivejaw surgeryin a few months that might remove feeling in my faces permanently.

Not majoring in pre-med instead of engineering. Didn't figure out I would rather be a doc till senior year. Didn't want to waste my degree so went out and worked (job is soul sucking), but now I need pre-reqs, plus the year I would have to wait to get in med school after finishing, plus med school, plus residency, plus years to pay off debt = not worth it anymore

Getting an addy script

Staying very active and maintaining a healthy diet throughout college must have mitigated the damage a lot, thankfully. I do feel great these days.
Feels man. I still drink heavy on the weekends though, and going out for dinner or occasional drinks has gotten me into averaging two drinks a night even sunday - thursday. My brain is not what it used to be, but I can't tell what all it is from. I'm on IF and don't eat until after work, so I'm running on no food at work, and I've used addy (getting a script is a bad move lol) for a few years, and I'm never off it for more than a week, so I'm probably never recovering from that.

Only a couple:

- Not trying to get into professional wrestling
- Taking out so many student loans. (basically why I haven't tried out the first one)
- Hanging out with an ex in college
- Not taking care of anxiety earlier.

I should have pursued IT like I originally contemplated instead of law enforcement then making a career change at 27. I'm making as much as my supervisor's supervisor and I've only been in the field for 1.5 years. I'd prob be making more than my old chief if I had 10 years under my belt.

To be completely honest - probably joining the misc.


I had just started lifting when I joined. After joining I pretty much stopped lifting because everyone here made good physiques sound impossible to achieve naturally (dead srs). Never cared about height until misc started making a big deal out of it too (still don't really care but I notice it more often now).


On the upside of joining, misc was still pretty good when I was lurking and joined. It has however gone downhill dramatically since then.. Used to sit on my couch dying of laughter - literally laughing until it hurt and I had tears running down my face. Now I get a little chuckle every couple days if I'm lucky.
PIPPIN: I didn't think it would end this way.
GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?
GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad.
GANDALF: No. No, it isn't.

You don't learn the same way after 20 that you do when you're a kid. The neural plasticity is so much stronger when you are young.
How did you start learning guitar? Been thinking about it for a while but not sure if I'd need someone to teach me and don't have a clue how much I'd spend on a first guitar

1. Not getting out of my last toxic relationship sooner

2. Being too shy and afraid of rejection.

Working diligently on the 2nd one this year. Making sure I try to strike up conversations with strangers all the time and hitting on more girls regardless of what the situation. If I'm attracted to them I at least try to say Hi if nothing else.
hard to hate on a fellow wings fan but....


i need to cut... badly.

Luckily I started playing guitar at 13 and have played in groups since I was 17 and there is nothing else like playing in front of 100s of people and them truly enjoying it.

Honestly man if you want to really learn the quickest/best then get lessons. It is totally possible to learn on your own but trust me when I say the bad habits you get while being self taught as opposed to taking lessons hinders your progress so much. I never recommend buying a new guitar as your first guitar. Hit up your local used music store or pawn shop and get a good used steel string acoustic guitar. You should be able to pick up a Yamaha or Ibanez for $100-150. And Yes learn on a steel string acoustic with medium gauge strings. It sucks ass for the first 4 months but you'll build your finger strength much faster this way.

They actually liked me for my personality too and I was a lot uglier back then lmao. Also from a small town so I could confirm that most of them weren't certified sloots (at least through high school).

I'm convinced I could have gone D1 for pitching if I would have been in better shape. Also would have stuck with basketball. Would have been playing fullback or linebacker instead of D-end if I wasn't a fat phuk. I was also good at shotput and discus.

I agree with specializing in sports if you have one or two that you're definitely better at.

Ahhh not the first time I've heard lessons are wayyy more beneficial than teaching yourself. Thanks for the tips man guess I'll have to look into lessons and a used guitar then!

My biggest regret is cheating on my ex fiancee when we first started dating. I'd do anything to go back in time and not do it because every day it haunts me remembering how she felt when she found out.

My biggest regret is not getting the fuk out of my toxic house when I was a young teen and putting myself into an adoption home or something. Being exposed to almost daily violence and screaming by my parents really fuked me up and caused me to get involved with the wrong people as my friends. We ended up going out doing stupid chit and I got arrested a bunch of times. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be a fighter pilot and now even though I finished college none of the service branches would accept me for pilot training due to my arrest record. That really really hurt.

Other regrets are with women and being too shy when I was younger but again the chit I was going through at my house fuking destroyed me and I had zero self esteem.

I don't talk to my parents much today and I'm fine with it. I don't think i'll regret it when they die. I never felt like they cared much for me or my well being anyway. They just kind of gave me a house to live in and took zero interest in my life.

I do not regret nothing because everything I have experienced was at the worse point in my life.
Growing up realizing people are not who they say who they really are even if they are blood. Seeing what sloots are really capable of.
And realizing what you need to sacrifice to become who you want to be even if you lose practically everyone thats around you,
Is something many people are afraid of because they do not want to leave there comfort zone.

Once I started lifting and disciplining myself with a No Fap/No Porn Hard mode and becoming a real man and having that hunger in my eyes that people can tell you have and working hard the right things and people came to my life.

-not getting into lifting sooner. I was fat, depressed, shy, and awkward till I was 22/23 because of my weight
-not taking school more serious
-not becoming a welder
-being afraid of rejection and being left by GFs. should learn when to walk away and know my worth
-being an ******* sometimes to my current Gf and allowing past experiences with other girls influence how I think this relationship will be and happen
-not having money saved up



but then again everything happens for a reason........right?
