Ok so for winter break we're going out of town, which is fun and I'm excited and we'll see family and I can't wait. But my family extended the trip so we're out of town for my birthday too. I don't want to be out of town for my birthday, I want to be with my friends, and I'm turning 18 so it's a big birthday. I'm trying to make the best of it and not bring everyone down and my mom is being good about me not wanting to be there on my birthday and is making the day all about me: we can do whatever I want and I get to pick where we go for dinner. But we're going to the South. I'm a vegetarian, and every decent restaurant in the town we're going to is either a seafood place, a steak house, or has no meatless option and I HATE IT. There's nothing to do down there that I like, and it just feels like I'm an after thought and that I don't matter. But I can't complain, I can't ruin this trip for them. And even if I do complain, they'll just suggest the other option: instead of staying in the town on my birthday, we can drive 14 hours home. Cause that's a much better option, I LOVE spending my birthday in the car. I just don't know what to do and I can't talk about it to anyone, I just feel so selfish

I wish it had been me instead of her. She deserves to live way more than I do, but she’s gone and I’m still here. If I was dead nobody would cry or even care.

missed opportunity about 7 or so years ago my wife and i went to an anime convention in miami now a little context before this story begins we have been of the arrangement that we are open so long as we talk ahead of time to each other about the person we are interested in we have just been too shy to go for it anyway we had spent the weekend ambling around the convention meeting people and looking at everything in retrospect conventions are not that great unless you have got a real drive to be there so it gets to be the last day of the convention it is dark outside already and we are walking away through a side hallway to get back because it is a short cut everyone else has gone to the rave that typically happens at that time of night but it is just not our scene as we are walking up ahead i see a power girl cosplayer now woman like power girl or wonder woman are my kryptonite and i love my wife because she is both beautiful and strong this cosplayer is on point and i m seriously interested knowing this about me my wife starts encouraging me to meet her and talk to her i tell her it is getting late though we need to get home because i work early tomorrow etc etc etc thing is i was just shy terrified even every excuse was a chance to quiet my nerves she leaves me to go talk to her and i keep walking thinking that she will just catch up to me i actually get almost 50 feet away before i notice they re still talking i would hate to get too far ahead so i idled for a little bit before going back she tried again to introduce me but i just nodded and smiled with a curt greeting before encouraging my wife to leave with me even as my heartbeat sent my blood rushing to my face she obliged and we left i do not even remember any more what the cosplayer s reaction was found out last month that the lingering conversation was because my wife had been working on hooking me up and that the power girl cosplayer was both amused and interested i can not believe that i went beyond letting that opportunity slip through my fingers i outright threw it as hard as i could

regretting being part of the rat race so young i regret spending four years stressing about money i went to college on a near full scholarship with excellent faculty in all subject areas and spent most of my time taking classes in my technical major because i was afraid of not having a job after college i did more than the major even required and sacrificed what i wanted to explore and just learn about for my own sake to take those extra classes even after i had an offer secured i have the job and i m about to start in a few days but i feel so much regret knowing that i sabotaged my own personal and intellectual growth when i did not even have to there is so many classes i wanted to explore philosophy sociology education learning from experts but i wasted the chance to do so the job i have pays really well but i m so regretful that i looked forward to college for so long and then spent that time not even taking advantage of all the unique courses that were offered a lot of my friends who approached things in a more balanced way are such more well rounded smarter people and i regret spending so much time chasing money in high school i chased prestige and in college i chased money it feels like i m always going to be part of the rat race

regret this is my first ever reddit post and i do not really know where to post it yet but i need to write it down so i do not forget i feel like i smoke weed so i m numb to everything and distract myself because of how much i over think about the mistakes i have made and how i could ve done things better i had a best friend he was always a little off had a rough childhood and adult hood on drugs he got sent to a mental institution the last time he got locked up for theft and he wrote to me in there i was high when my grandma gave me a letter address to me i was high all the time and just did not pay the letter any attention i was coping with the death of my mother from cancer and i just decided smoking and working my night shift job at walmart was enough to get by i cut myself off to the world and him too he killed himself while he was in the mental institution he somehow got some paper clips and swallowed them and that led to a excruciating death which i m sure he struggled mentally and physically through until he succumbed to his injuries did i kill him or was it the failed lack of supervision at the facility that he was held at did he choose to end it in that horrible of a way because i did not help him his final cry for help sending a letter to the one friend who normally always had his back and i did not answer it i still have it and i read it time to time he talks about how amazing my mom was and how he remembers when she adopted him and his brother for 6 months living with us and how he wants to get out and live a normal life and be better maybe have a family and never be like his parents for sure he told me bad things happen to good people but im not good and i know he died knowing im not good it makes me sad to think what he must ve been going through and he tried he actually tried but he just could n t do it alone and no one was there so he decided that was it no more letters just as the papers fell apart as he stole those paper clips so did his last hope of anyone trying to help him and i can not help but think if i quit smoking will i end up killing myself will all this trauma and guilt overcome me same as it did him i feel like a monster

i royally screwed up by being honest with my wife for context my kids see 9 and 6 years old my wife knew i did not want kids when we got married but after five years it was so important to her that i said yes i have been unhappy ever since i m usually able to hide my feelings about all of this but for reasons i do not need to go into right now it has been much more difficult over the past eight months i feel like i have hit a boiling point and my wife is much more aware of how i feel right now we have talked about it on occasion but i do not think she has every realized the extent of my feelings last night she asked me if i felt any joy from the kids at all or felt that being a father had any redeeming qualities i made the mistake of being honest and telling her no everything blew up after that now she is suggesting that i leave or that she leave with the kids that i adjust my work schedule to be on the road most of the time to go live my life anything to have me away i have thought about leaving for a while but i do not feel right just disappearing if we get a divorce i will still have to share custody i do not know the right answer to it but i know i screwed up by telling her anything

big regret not to long ago maybe 2 years ago i would say the n word all the time im white btw i knew that it was fucked and said it anyway and i have no idea why i was just being stupid and ignorant until around last year someone took a screenshot of me saying it in a snapchat and sent it to people it was not many just acquaintances that i knew of i kind of shrugged it off and nothing big really happened but then one person got ahold of it soon after and did not really mind much then so around a month ago i really started to regret it sure you can call it regret that i got caught using such an offense word now i never really used it in a way that would hurt anyone but i should have never said it in the first place i have no excuses to make i have not said it at all since then but i am still worried if it were to get out what might happen to my future if it were to get out or anything so i would really like your opinion in the comments about it if you stayed and read this i sincerely thank you i just want this regret to go away
