what was the biggest mistake of your life in your country?
Being alive
Spending 15 years on 4chan
not treating my mother well when i was a teen and i thought she would grow old with me
existing
Attempted rape of a minor (didn't know that) which landed me in prison for 7 years
>>221758580Probably alcoholism. I've now been sober for 14 years.It turned me into a better person in the end, so maybe it wasn't a mistake.
>>221758621How did you not know you attempted to rape a minor?
>>221758621uuuhhh
>>221758580Not socialising in my formative years
>>221758580Moving back to my city and meeting her.
>>221758621>i thought i was raping an adult!
>>221758634With all the makeup she had she looked at least 20 but the judge didn't buy it
>>221758621
>>221758580Nothing that I could have done could have prevented the things I don't like about my life. I can only keep on trying until I get what I want
betting on red when it was black
>>221758678whyd you rape her though
>>221758678Do you mean statutory rape then? Like she wanted it but fucking anyone under 18 counts as rape? Or she didn't want it and you actually did rape her?
>>221758580Falling in love
>>221758683malta?
>>221758708No, I mean a normal premeditated rape attempt which didn't go as planned because she was carrying a peppe sprayFunnily enough she got a year of probation for illegally carrying a pepper spray because it's not legal to own or carry here>>221758699I would rather not answer that because I might still be under surveillance
>>221758580I've had two periods of depression in my life, from 13-15 and from 19-22I only have a high school degreeAt this moment i am 30 and work as a manager in retail, and i make good money and bought a house.And i am very happy with my life, i really can't point to one big mistake
Quitting skateboarding!!!
>>221758799So...do you regret trying to rape someone or just that you got caught?
>>221758580Dropping out of college. Now I'm nearly a 30 year old neet with no job experience, no education and no girlfriend.
>>221758799have you ever considered suicide?
Wasting my entire 20s as a semi employed loser doing nothing, never having a girlfriend, avoiding making any friends, learning no useful skills, accumulating no wealth, etc. My 20s ended and I have nothing to show for it.On the other hand, this wanton path brought me to a woman that I want like I've never wanted anything in my life. Even if I fail miserably, I want to turn it all around and make her mine.
>>221758799Stay strong, brother
being born>>221758878i'm in my mid twenties and wasting it as a shutin neet and i have never had a jobsomefucking how i still have some of my childhood irl friends but i rarely see them (like few times a year)
>>221758580As I finally re-started highschool, I just realized that I could've been raping prostitutes for these past 3 years if I wasnt neeting instead
>>221758627teach me how.
>>221758722That's not your fault. Maybe getting there to meet her was, but you couldn't know. I wish my mind worked like a computer and I could just delete her from my memory.
>>221758986There are a lot of ways but the first step is actually wanting to stop. If you're not there nothing will work.AA can work if you're religious. If not there are other options. I whiteknuckled it for a bit then determined I did have the willpower to stop. Sobriety became my number one priority and I focused on it completely until the first couple years were up.
How are so many people here not capable of getting a job? Can't be that hard
>>221758580Being a passive failure through my teen years but maybe worse was being NEET for 4 years, actually had a chance at going back to the job I was made redundant from but was too proud to do so and just lied saying I had a new job
>>221759031ive gotten fired from basically all jobs ive had
>>221759031I had a chill warehouse job and I quit!! Now I can’t find squat.
>>221759031It really isn't. Anyone can go do construction or something tomorrow. You'll just have to work long and difficult days, but you'll make a decent living.
>Quitting skateboarding!!
>>221758678Im not buying it either
>>221758678>>221758621>>221758799what am I reading
>>221759055Do you just suck at working? I've never been fired, but I take a lot of pride in my laborious and driving roles.
>>221758580Wasting almost 3 years of my life on someone who isn't even aware of my existence
>>221759023can you tell me some fun alcoholism stories? my worst was when i puked in the toilet and fell asleep after a party, mom woke me up like a hour later
>>221758995>I wish my mind worked like a computer and I could just delete her from my memory.Same desuI just wish I could think this through logically instead of suffering in uncertainty and guilt
If I could go back in time I would become obsessed with getting good grades and learning when I was in highschool, my life would be so fucking different if I had done that instead of wasting my time doing useless shit.
>>221758580I sold an antique desk and chair set that would've looked great in my current house
>>221758799Why not answer though, what would it matter if they knew the motive of it
>>221759083Yes. I have a lot of good ones.When weed was still illegal here, I used a cop car to transport 2 ounces of it. I got in a fight with my dad and the cop offered to drive us to my mom's house. So I packed 2 ounces of weed in my backpack and took it in the cop car to my mom's house.I would always wake up in weird spots. I blacked out every night. The worst was half standing up with my eye socket on a doorknob. Had a black eye for a couple weeks after that.Broke my nose, ribs, and other things in various fights with various people.
>>221759076>temperamental and frequently get into arguments with bosses etc >extremely non-punctual so late every morning >if i dont feel like going to work I just dont go, staying home for days at a time >refuse to follow instructions or rules if I feel they are stupid or superfluous im not cut out for being a worker i think
>>221758580i forgot to read my quran one day and i felt guilty
>>221758683I hope you diehttps://derpibooru.org/images/523835
>>221758799You are a king
>>221759127he could be planning to try again
>>221759055why? i guess sweden is a little like the netherlands so it must be hard to actually get fired>>221759057Why did you quit without a backup plan?
>>221759148
>>221759142Sometimes you just gotta suck it up and do it if you wanna make money.I don't feel like driving 8-10 hours a day most days. But I do it, and I do my job right.
>>221759031my parents are old and i dont want to leave my small town for work.
>>221759240As you should. The small town is where the heart is
Not socializing when I was young. Making friends as an adult is hard as hell. Not having company will fuck me up mentally in the long run. That's the only regret I have. Some people would say shit like not going to university or finishing it or learning sone useful skill or whatever but the fact is if you didn't do it then you probably weren't cut out for it anyways and there's nothing wrong with that. All of that means jack shit if you don't have a healthy social life. If you have a social life most of your problems regarding women and work connections and shit get solved on their own
>>221759023im not physicly addicted, just binge now and then. i cant seem to keep my life straight when im not working and i do not want to work all the time. i just want a stable, sober life. its just as much a job issue as an alcohol issue for me.
>>221759190im very impulsive driven and have a very hard time doing stuff that im not inclined to doing tried some high doses of some ADHD medication amphetamines that my doctor put me on but it just made me watch porn for hours and playing endless online chess
>>221759128how much did you drink to just pass out and do random violent weird shit? i've been drinking a lot but i never get violent
>>221759172usually it's like you have a one-year or half a year trial period, and if you dont do well during that period you wont get a permanent contract basically i get a job and get let go after that trial period
>>221759268Not learning socialization through trial and error when people your age are still learning themselves is the single biggest mistake someone can make
>>221758580Falling in love with someone who didn’t want to be in a relationship with me
>>221759268>>221759409I think this is bullshit
>>221759367>basically i get a job and get let go after that trial periodso why did they let you go? i give out trial periods but most of them just stay on
>>221759311That's a different experience than mine. I would say the most important thing for you to do is to not take the first drink. If you don't take that first drink, you will not binge.I have never had an issue with working. Nobody wants to work all the time. But you have to work to live well, right?>>221759353Yeah, you need to sort out your mental issues. Have you tried therapy? It might be useful if meds don't work well.>>221759356To pass out, it depended on multiple factors. Usually I smoked a lot of weed with it to increase the effects of both. The violence only really came with being physically dependent on it for a good amount of time.Before I switched to whiskey I would drink more beer and smoke more weed. Usually a few grams to a quarter ounce a day with 12-15 beers. Then I'd blackout. When I switched to whiskey I smoked a lot less, maybe a gram a day. But I was drinking 40 ounces(25 standard drinks) a day at one point. I would drink so fast that I'd blackout within an hour of starting drinking. Usually I'd wake up on the floor or naked or in other weird positions.
>>221758580My ex was a legit near 10/10 and one time I was mad at her so had sex with her older sister and her best friend because I knew it would permanently psychologically ruin her. That spoiled our relationship and now she's a low income single mother with a half black kid from some other guy.
>>221758580being born wh*te
>>221758799You should actually Kys. Especially if you're the same Greek that posts the drug shit all the time. You're a legit bad person
>>221759558based life destroyer
>>221759575Lay off him. He already said it was a mistake.
>>221759521yuh
>>221759485yeah but not completely bullshit. i spent most of my childhood in front of computers when kids my age were hanging around outside and now i'm not a complete socially awkward weirdo but i'm still not a normie. i don't enjoy dancing i can't do small talks i don't use social media that much, i can spend time with normies but deep inside i still feel different among them i know i'm lacking something.
>>221758799>>221758678>>221758621sigma energy
>>221759637You can basically get cured from social anxiety and learn to small talk through continuous exposure. The majority of people are not as judgmental as you could think. The ones that are are net negatives that you should cut out from your life anyway
>>221759600She wasn't a good person so I only feel a little bit bad about it. She had a weird fetish where she wanted to see me be abusive towards other women sexually while she also participated in dominating them and liked breaking up couples for fun. She was weirdly insecure despite being very good looking. Her being cheated on and excluded was the ultimate form of betrayal for her. Although she was also into being degraded so maybe she got off on it.
>>221759177im not into that and im pashtun.
>>221758580Not finishing electrical school
dropping out of high schoolfollowed by pushing away the one woman who ever loved me in my entire life even doe she was echelons out of my league for no good reason on some schizoid shit
studying philosophys and not physics so i can get a job
>>221759268>>221759409>>221759637I got screwed for life when me and my family moved out of the small backwater town I grew up in and into the big city when I was 12. I came from a place where pretty much everyone knew each other, so much so that I had been seeing the exact same faces since kindergarten all the way until i moved out. Hardly ever met any new kids back then. Then my life completely changed and suddenly I realized I never learned how to establish friendly relations with someone I had just met. And what made things harder is the huge difference in rural vs urban mentality which made me appear very akward. I was doomed from the start
>>221758580Probably kicking a chink in the balls because he called me a paddy (happened in 2009, when I was about 15). I almost got sent to juvenile detention. It was worth it though.
>>221758621wtf
>>221760462>Paddy moment
>>221759629No, i recognize him by his posting style. Hes still a piece of shit and I don't believe that he didn't know.
>>221758580every anon here is lamenting they didnt do more, but every time ive ever had success it just led to more responsibility, stress, and unhappiness. i now live a very lowkey life by choice. my baseline happiness reset and i get excited and depressed about little things instead of big things. i have the energy to focus on few people who are more meainingful
feeding my loneliness by playing visual novels. Caused me HOCD
NEETing myself into unemployability. I don't even really care about the rest of my life I wasted on the internet but there's really no recovery from a nonexistent work history.
>>22176046215 in 09? Holy fucking unc
>>221758580Rampant mysogyny posting fuelled by the stress overload induced by my mother and grandmother. Biggest regret by far.I was also promoting NEETdom and I mostly meant "try to get NEETbux" but even if you couldnt get NEETbux you were most likely already marked for normalized slavery by your society no matter when you started working so if you delayed it and were comfy as much as you could I have no regrets promoting that, I was a semi-NEET as much as I could and will go on to become even more of that. I also promoted femboys because I thought its the best outcome to someone with gender dysphoria over cutting your dick off, hope that helped more than it didnt.
>>221758580Chasing someone who obviously isn’t into me but somehow part of me enjoys the thrill of it because I’ve been a shut in for so long.
>>221763051are you the guy who got rejected by a tranny?
>>221763038Are you Indian?
>>221763060Nah this happened irl and that guy wasn't me.
>>221763075No why?
Doing a second study. Wasting years on some bullshit. Starting my life later. And never actually using it when I got a job.
>>221758683>gamblerdeserved and much, much more
>>221758580Probably not getting my shit together sooner. I've had way too many issues to overcome. I sometimes bump into people who are fuckups and realize that used to be me. This is the only thing that keeps me motivated.
>>221763096The grandmother thing makes you sound Indian cuz only brown people live with their parents and grandparents under the same roof
>>221758580Getting a college degree in religious studies. Should’ve went for architecture or art academy
can't rightly pin it down to just one. it was an accumulation of poor decisions over several years.
>>221763128Im originally from southern europe and didnt actually live with grandma, and father and grandfather werent any better but the emotional incest from the females was something else. I come here to hit the income tax bracket as fast as possible via food delivery and spend the rest of my time back home lazying about.
>>221758799Kys honestly
I don't know if it's a regret. I'd guess doing backpacking when I was 20-21. A response to severe depression, so I ended up working and travelling to pull myself out of it. But then when I decided to lock in for uni covid hit, and now I'm practically a 30 year old KHHV stuck at home
>>221763011Just make it up no one cares for shit jobs and for careers they don't care since you don't put down irrelevant work history anyway
Not leaving coding properly in college. In fact, not proactively learning anything at all in college. Now I am a NEET in my 30s.
>>221763184>I come here to hit the income tax bracket as fast as possible via food delivery and spend the rest of my time back home lazying about.Oh yea before i could do that i was barely doing enough via slave warehouse jobs but still semi-NEETed and dont regret it at all. I only wish I was born in a country where i could get NEETbux or chose a better country to immigrate to where its more NEETbux friendly and be full time NEET instead of semi-NEET.
>>221758580Not remigrating sooner. I wasted far too many years being miserable and without direction in a place that hated me.
>>221763316>I'd guess doing backpacking when I was 20-21I did that too, full budget type like spending only about 150 euro in a week in paris type of thing. No regrets. ill do more of it in fact.
>>221758580Studying physics
>>221758799based greekGOD raping underage girls just like Zeus intended!
Practically: The university I chose to go to and the major I studied while I was thereEmotionally: I spent four years in my late teens early twenties hung up on my ex who is now a fat they/them lesbianMy biggest regret is that I am a reclusive schizoid but I have no idea how I could have avoided turning out that way so I can't count it as a mistake
>>221759575>Especially if you're the same Greek that posts the drug shit all the timeOf course he is. Every time you see a Greek flag posting something outrageously degenerate it's always that same guy.
>>221763533Physics grads get jobs in Quant companies.
Getting married.
I used to consider it a mistake but today I consider it a pivotal moment in my life.In my early 20s I decided to go all in on Japanese and chose to go to Japanese University instead of merely majoring in Japanese.I saved up a bunch of money and was supposed to go to Japan in 2020 but the border was closed just before I was about to board the plane basically.I went back to University to study Industrial Engineering and I spend a lot of time just hating myself for not just getting the Japanese major and being done with it. Instead i was 25 still fucking around in undergrad. Also I had to take out student loans because i was kicked out from home since my parents got divorced.The reason why i consider it a pivitol moment instead of a mistake is because i ended up meeting my wife in undergrad at the place i worked at. And she has been an absolute ray of sunshine in my lifePoint being, if you wish to see the sun rise you have to be on top of the mountain to do so. If you cant see yet you need to take another step up.
>>221758621>>221758678>>221758799I-I Kneel...
>>221758799on the one hand, rape is kinda uncoolon the other hand, she was a dangerous armed criminalhmm

If you cant see yet you need to take another step up.You don't belong here normie. Go back! GO BACK!
>>221758580Going to university and trying to have a white collar career instead of being a mechanic like my dad
Why retards keep writing anything in these threads if they get no responses? Mine is this >>221764625 though.
>>221764704>white collar careerIt depends. Teachers, doctors, and policemen are white collar but these all are still much better off than blue collars.
>>221758621You were raped there.
I don't really regret most of the dumb shit I've done, since I've learned from those mistakes and none of them were really life-changing. A few hundred Euro wasted here or there on unnecesary or ill-advised purchases, but not enough to really feel the impact of it. Internet addiction, maybe, but that's a side effect of being into computers in the 00s, and without this I wouldn't have landed the cushy job I now have, and I'd be missing half of my non-computer related hobbies and friends. But caffeine consumption is unnecessary and now it's impossible to quit for good.
>>221764958So basically nothing at all?
>>221764799People just want to vent.
>aktcully i dont regert my misatke cuz i learne-shut the fuck up
>>221764958>caffeine consumptionHow do people even start drinking coffee? It tastes bad, even worse than alchohol.
>>221763028I was 18 in 2009

>>221758580I honestly think all of my problems aren't my fault, but due to undiagnosed autism. I always did the best I could
>>221758580I honestly don't knowMaybe leaning into despair, blackpill, meaningless, nihilism, etc. too much. Maybe early porn access. Or maybe I was destined with such family and such genes. Idk.

>>221758580Not going to art school.>was a super good artist as a kid>parents were very encouraging about me pursuing art>they enrolled me in tons of summer art classes and helped me build my portfolio when it was time to apply to colleges>sent my portfolio to a bunch of fine art programs at some of the most prestigious art schools in the country (RISD, Pratt, SCAD, etc.)>got accepted into nearly all of them>parents then sat me down and told me if I went to art school they weren't going to financially support me at all>got some financial aid/scholarship money from these schools, but not a lot (and these schools are all super expensive)>parents told me I'd have to take out loans and pay for everything myself, which means I would have graduated with well over six figures of debt>if I did a more "normal" degree they'd agree to help put me through college like they did with all my other siblingsThe idea debt scared me so much that I hastily applied to a bunch of shitty architecture programs at horrible schools (I thought architecture would be the closest thing to art). Now I work at a dogshit architecture firm doing work that makes me want to kill myself surrounded by some of the stupidest people I've ever met.I should have just taken the debt. I'd rather be poor and happy than have a stable job and be miserable like I am now. Besides, literally all that matters in becoming a successful artist is getting into one of these schools and making connections through all the rich and privileged people you meet there. I just didn't know how amazing of an opportunity it was at the time as a fucking teenager expected to make a major life-altering decision in a matter of days. Oh well.
>>221758580I reckon not getting ADHD meds and thereby improving my academics as a teenager and getting into an elite uni. Otherwise my life was fucked by stuff that isn't really a "mistake" but just bad luck genetically. A severely delayed puberty made me miss out on many formative social experiences which my normal pubescent friends went through, so by the time I was 18-19 I was basically still a 14 year old physically and in terms of romantic experience and "adventure"
>>221758799>No, I mean a normal premeditated rape attemptso uh, learned your lesson or...?
>>221768363Construction here hire inexperienced 18 year old European backpackers all the time, what are you on about. Australia is literally built on dodgy projects made by 21 year old Frenchmen in their gap year.
>>221759268Fucking oath brother this one really is it.I was the happiest I've ever been as a poor surfbum working as a dishwasher and literally living in a Hostel, because I had friends and a "village". Yeah I shared a room with 9 people, I actually saw that as a positive. Literally everyday I'd just wakeup, go to the balcony and say hi to someone, I'd walk out and have breakfast with someone, we'd chat and make spontaneous plans, etc... yeah I was working a minimum wage shit job with no savings, but I never felt "poor" when I was out in the waves with friends surfing and seeing the sunset.Ever since I left that and actually started living alone like a "big boy" in a big city, I've been utterly depressed.
>>221763316I'm backpacking rn and it's actually the best thing I've ever done, even if I'm literally poor. Made some great friends I know I'll be seeing again + I'll be happy when I'm older knowing that I got to "do that shoestring budget shit" when my body was still capable of it
>>221758799Immigrant?
premarital sex
>>221758580Hard to decide because I'm such a fuck up. But probably going to college and getting a meme degree I never used and not socializing at all.
>>221767552same pretty much>>2217587997 years wasn't enough
>>221763028/Int/ is an unc board, fuck out of here zoomer
>>221765019Man your country is full of instant coffee drinkers (which fucking sucks for me, I cant endure this salaryman life any longer)
>>221774922in australia they have to take every warm body they can get because of the spider-related attrition constantly chewing away at their manpower poolnot so in Europe
>>221759268>If you have a social life most of your problems regarding women and work connections and shit get solved on their ownthat's because the same things cause both problems. if you're unattractive nobody wants to hang out with you without a clear value proposition. if you're attractive people instinctively also find you fun to be around and charismatic
Not trying harder in school. I've managed to make up for it later via community college etc, but it delayed my life significantly.
>>221758580Being an incel during most of my college yearsI went to university in America and there were tons of shiksa sluts that I could have banged, in the end I only lost my virginity at 21 and fucked this blonde cutie, but then she ghosted me for some hoodrat meximutt, got depressed over it for a year. Got to have my body count up to 4 before moving back homeAfter that, I wasn’t able to sleep with anyone until I met my now wife, I’m grateful for her and love her very much, but feel like I will always be a coomer that missed out on fucking tons of shiksa sluts
>>221776013Actually, I also sold GME and Dogecoin early, and if I didn't I would've had $10M, and would never have to work, so that's up there.
>>221776013>>221776019You guys are successful normies with nothingburger regrets.
>>221776071My other regret is getting addicted to methamphetamine for a year, because my emotions are dulled now and I have zero sexual desire, but I don't really consider it a regret because I honestly like not caring about much. I feel freer.
>>221776019>only lost my virginity at 21Normalfag
>>221776050That's a good regret.>>221776244I lost my desire for sex after a nervous breakdown.
