    There was a girl I really liked when I was younger... she liked me too, but I never gathered the courage to ask her out.

    She'll get married in a couple of months and my biggest regret is never finding out what our relationship could've been like...

    What did I learn: Sometimes you have to just go for it... That's the only way to prevent these feelings of regret and sorrow over what could've been...

      My biggest regret is letting other people decide my selfworth. Especially as a child I took everyting way to serious. If an adult said I was dumb I immediately stored it in my brain as the truth.

      This has done me harm because I made life choices over this believes. For example which school to go to.

      Only as an adult I started to challenge some of these thoughts and made choices that fit better. I sure wish I could go back and tell my younger self that adults can and do lie.

      I have learned to question old believes and to make choices based on what I want instead of what my selfworth dictates.

      I know exactly what you mean! People love imposing their stupid fears and opinions on children since children are innocent and defenceless :/

      Yes, they are. I also think not all adults (in my childhood) did mean those things sincerely. Maybe they where just joking around or didn't think I would remember/take it to heart. Some where outright bullying, to feel better by making a child feel less.....

      Yeah children are very impressionable indeed! Adults often don't realise sadly that even the smallest thing said can have a deep impact on a child's psyche :/
      Hopefully the next generation can do better for their children
