OP nails it. I wasted two years of my life partying.

When I was 23, I worked with a girl who was 17 going on 18. She had a huge crush on me and we got along really well. I just thought I was too old for her at the time so I never saw her as anything other than a friend. Now I realize what a fucking idiot I was. We were perfect together. It didn't hurt that she had an amazing body, either.

Stealth girl-gaf thread?
Not being a better boyfriend to my ex and losing her as a result.
Quitting varsity football midway through my junior season. I'd played for 7 years at that point, set a school record for interceptions when I was a freshmen and also suited varsity for CIF freshmen year. Sophmore year I tried out for varsity, beat out 2 returning seniors and started. Had another 12 interception season at that level and was being contacted by recruiters to division 1 schools.
All of my friends quit the team, I didn't party, didn't drink and was one a few starters who didn't. I loved football, it was in my blood but I just didn't jive with the social aspects of varsity football back then. All of my friends left the team and I bailed mid season because it deflated me, I was alone on varsity with what I thought then were a bunch of douches.
6'4 205 as a junior in high school, division 1 universities knocking on my door ... looking back it was the worst decision I ever made. FML

Also i regret not sticking with golf, i was extremely talented when i was younger, even got a little article written about me when i was a kid.
Have no idea why i never tried to persue anything, i assume its because i hit puberty and hated the entire fucking world, same with baseball, i was a natural at sports but just kinda gave up on them.. who knows what could of been.
probably nothing

bailed on my degree, never affected me yet, but it nags.
it's quite a while ago now but not getting over an ex quicker than I did.
what else.... not really mastering a skill, like a sport or a skill at all. I'm sort of 'pretty good' at everything I try for a while, then lose interest.
I wish I learned to love cheap things as well. Only 2 sporting activities I LOVE are snowboarding (impractical and fucking expensive) and skydiving (rad, but same problems) I WISH I enjoyed going to the park and kicking a soccer ball with friends. But I really just don't give a shit about doing that. I don't know why.

Totally understand the idea of "everything that's happened has made me into who I am today". Still, some regrets.
Biggest all revolve around death. Sort of kind of maybe knowing that people were going to die due to escalating habits, but being all young, stupid and not confident enough to realize that I could help.
Would trade whatever it is that I "have" now to go back and give those situations another go.
Also: not being an NBA point guard. I could so fucking do it.

I regret unintentionally harming someone when I was young (around eight). I wasn't exactly liable (age, etc) and I never intended to harm anyone, but I'm sure my stupidity caused enough damage regardless. That's really the only mistake that I can think of that I would gladly take back.

Not getting out of the closet at an earlier age.
Not doing more stupid shit during high school. Yeah I had the best grades in class but fuck I was lonely.

i sort of wish i didnt stop playing soccer.
i played on club teams up until i was 13. i played pretty much every position but center back and goalie but my preferred position was a freelancing right wing. which basically meant i had freedom to go all over the field but i spent a lot of my time on the right.
i quit because the last year i played we were godawful. well i scored loads of goals but the team sucked especially on defense. and i got tired of trying to carry a bunch of crap ass teammates who were useless as fuck. we'd often lose games with ridiculous scorelines like 5-3 or 7-5. i'd be absolutely beat and pissed after games because i had to carry the offensive load just so we'd have a chance.
i'm torn though because i didnt love soccer. i just liked to play it because thats what all my friends did so it was a way to hang out with them more. i fucked up because i stayed down at the mid-level club team for an extra year so i could have enough time to play middle school basketball too. i love basketball but i'm just average at it. all of my friends that were good moved up to the elite-level club team and the plan was for me to join them a year later since i wasnt going to play basketball in high school.
if i could do it again i probably would've just said fuck basketball and moved up to elite soccer because pretty much all the players i came up w/ have college scholarships (i have so much debt lol Q_Q) and a few of them will probably be in MLS. i know i could've done the same because i still run their shit whenever we play.
on the other hand i was never as dedicated to being great at soccer. i just had natural skill out the ass. i despised practice and usually acted like a jackass in any non-game situation. basketball was and still is my heart even though i'm not great at it. but i always worked myself to death to get better.

This username. I don't even know what the hell I was thinking.
But really, buying all those stupid Pokémon cards is definitely my worst regret. So much money down the drain for that goddamn Charizard.

I shouldn't waste so much time on Internet... oh wait >_>
But really, when I was in middle school I had an "argue" with my female friend that I had knew since primary school and shared lots of interest with. I said "argue" because out of the blue one day she just stopped talking to me because apparently I did or told something. In the beginning I've tried to apologize (it was hard without knowing what did I do that upset her), but after not succeeding, just get tired of this. And so we ended up not talking with each other for several years.
Few years has passed and in the weirdest situation that looked like something out of a cheesy romance novel (you know: he and she passes by silently, stand still for a while, turn around, look into each others eyes - that kind of shit) we suddenly started talking and acted like nothing really happened (literally, I've never learned what I did). However, after so much time of ignoring each other the relationship between us loosen to the point we're just neighbors now instead of friends that used to spent their free time together all the time

I regret not trying harder to apologize back then.

Some of the choices involving my dad. I don't feel comfortable sharing more than that.

Not trying harder in school is probably a big one. However, I have a good job so I can't complain to much.
More so though:
I've been working since the day I turned 13. From 13-23 I wasted so much money on the dumbest crap. So many video games, cds, dvds and toys bought and never played or touched. All gone now since I sold them. Wish I saved that money and was smarter with it. Would have really helped now.
Sigh...oh well

No regrets, no remorse.
Sometimes I wonder whats wrong with me, maybe I just don't give a fuck about anything. Or I just like to live thinking that everything goes as it have to go.

i have plenty of regrets but they all pale in comparison to laser eye surgery. fuck that shit to hell, ruined my life.
I'm curious to hear your story about it. I have bad eye sight and just cant get comfortable w/ contacts or glasses. It has over a 99% success rate, what was your issue w/ it?

I didn't win £101 million on the Euro lottery a few days ago. Didn't even buy a ticket. Fucking regret that.
