This might take some digging, but what's the single biggest regret of your life so far?>I got kicked out of the military twice before age 19 and can no longer reenlist
>>82610965i can't even join in the first place since i cut myself like a faggot
>>82610965i don't have regrets because i'm not a top percentile person, so nothing i do has any bearing on anything
>>82610965i failed out of high school when i was seventeen. my anxiety has gotten worse since then & i've spent the last month dreading registering to work on my GED.>I got kicked out of the military twice before age 19 and can no longer reenlistwhat did you do, anon?
>>82610975I cut myself too, and they still took me in. Didn't even have to lie at the MEPS.>>82610990I'm learning to accept being a background character in the tapestry of the grand scheme of things, too.>>82610991>what I didIn the Air Force, basically freaked out and couldn't hack it during Basic. Threatened suicide, etc and got separated after 21 days as a hold-over. In the Army a year later, I got kicked out during AIT (AFTER Basic Training) for suicidal ideation, adjustment disorder, etc and had to be under 24-hour watch for 15 days.
>>82610965Continue studying after I finished a perfect GPA associate's degree at a community college. Now at 28 I only have a not-complete "bachelor's" that I "finished" everything but the thesis class required to finish the degree properly.>inb4 but why don't you go backI failed that class twice now. I refuse to go back to that uni ever again since enrolling and failing on that class for the THIRD time would unironically make me kill myself for real this time.I will absolutely cheat the HR system and pretend to have a complete bachelor's as well. I already set up the settings on my student account so HR won't get any information about my grades and such.
>>82610965wasted 2 years of my life simping for a girl dropped out of my 2nd semester of uni for that and she fucking split on me and got back together with her ex lol I'm not even mad she was overtly mentally ill I'm mostly mad at myself for being delusional and hypnotized enough to think it could work out
>>82610965wasted my youth on the internet. didn't take care of my teeth
>>82610965> Two star CIB>Air Assault>Master Tech Sergeant(?) In the chair force>early 30s from the looks of itWhat the fuck?Biggest regret is marrying my HS girlfriend. Realistically asking her out in the first place. Wish I never did it.
>>82611112Plus, going farther in the education system isn't really feasible these days.>>82611128These hoes ain't loyal...>>82611176>didn't take care of my teethI had a HORRIBLE tooth abscess earlier this year that nearly killed me, so I definitely understand the regret there. >>82611182B-but Anon, the TV said that's what you're supposed to do (marrying one's high school sweetheart).
>>82611260>the TV saidI'm less jaded than you may think. Really it's my fault for asking out a chick with blue hair
>>82610965not doing something to stop being fat earlier. I was born obese and weighed 400 pounds when I was 16 so I never really had a chance but if I'd taken control of my diet when I turned 18 instead of waiting until I was 26 I'd be in a hell of a lot better place now. Unfortunately I believed the liars who tell fat people that losing weight is impossible.
>>82611283>chick with blue hairoh, yeah, I've heard about those...>>82611305I've done something similar, having gone from 228 lbs to (current) 149 lbs. I've kept it here for the last several years though; I started to take control in 2015, which of course was met with gaslighting from my parents.>you were never overweightI was literally almost prevented from ever enlisting because I was overweight by 10 lbs according to the Air Force's standards. They ignored it, lol.
>>82611336my parents say that it was my fault that I was that absurdly obese at 16 years old. When I confronted them they said that my weight became my responsibility when I was 4 years old.fucking unbelievable how retarded boomers can be
>>82611357>4 years oldWhat the fuck...lol. They expect you to be a whole adult with a job and such by age 5.
>>82610965Holy shit same thing happened to me but I wanted to quit (all boot camp navy) and I can still reenlist RE-8. Going to do college and join us as a officer probably, 30-70
>>82610991same here after my grandma gets out of physical threapy I'm planning on applying thankfully I'm still young so it shouldn't be to bad but I'm scared if I wait any longer my life will manage to spiral more and more
>>82610965I wasted my entire youth. Never did anything, never tried anything, just rotted away in my room and l didn't even enjoy it.
>>82610965Why would you want to join now we are probably going to get involved with iran.
its lame but i regret getting into a fight with my supervisor. obviously i lost my job, and that was the beginning of the downward spiral i never recovered from. if i hadn't let petty normalnigger work drama get under my skin, i'd probably be living a somewhat normal life.
biggest regret would be getting expelled in 9th grade after years of mediocrity and bullying just to get sent to an alt school that just made things worse being surrounded by drug and vape abusing thugs and white trash sexhavers for two grades to go online causing my grades to be worse and possibly my mental health since despite it all that school had the only person I could ever call a friend who gosted me after he left that and it was the only time I left bed
>>82611487I wanted to join the Navy and was willing to do so voluntarily, but my parents INSISTED on the Air Force. I wanted those nice blue uniforms.>>82611505Such is life; adult life is pretty uneventful as well.>>82611506>born too soon to deploy to the middle east>born too late to deploy to the middle east>born JUST IN TIME to deploy to the middle eastAt this point, I'd be ok with it. At least my death or mutilation would have been for a purpose.>>82611517Definitely been there with my current job. Almost got into a fist-fight with a certain coworker 5 years ago, but I stood my ground and he hasn't worked there since. Almost got into it with a supervisor who had been riding my ass (metaphorically) since Day 1 of me working there, making me the butt-end of every joke, inappropriate comment, etc (even got new-hires in on the fun). Luckily, he died of COVID in late-2021.>>82611552That's all a damn shame.
>>82611505Similar, never pushed hard enough. Was too nice so was not assertive enough to stand up for my rights, should have been a bit of an asshole and demanded more. 70% of normies are not that smart so I was more than capable of doing the jobs I was rejected for.>>82610965Not traveling enough
>>82610965I pushed away the love of my life because she admitted to me (early on) that she had a shamefully promiscuous past. It's been almost 5 years since that happened and I've not met another woman I've connected as well with since.
>>82611575>That's all a damn shame.yea sorry for wall of text but like I said earlier after my grandmas health is sorted I'm going to look in to my GED >I wanted those nice blue uniforms.possibly planning on losing weight and getting in shape so I can join the marines for the same reason funny enough
>>82611657>join the marinesAbsolutely could not be me. Though I do enjoy watching Marine-content on YouTube and such, there's no way I could have hacked it. Also though, they have the lowest age limit: 28. Not sure if that also applies to officers.
>>82611695I think having some order would be good for me and a ticket to a better life at least better than now and if I die in some war I'll get my name on a wall in 30 years
>>82611807Those are, more or less, the same reasons I wish I could join now (politics aside). Every day/week/month/year I'm just clocking in to a warehouse where everyone has an axe to grind with me, moving freight, and going nowhere else in life. Plus I now know way more about the benefits of being in and maybe making it all the way to the 20-year mark that my veteran parents never bothered to tell me.And of course, the possibility that these blue uniforms could make a comeback.
>>82611847if you have good insurance and pay I would say stay in the rut and try to cope but don't be stagnit look for better opportunities were poseable best of luck anon thanks for reading and stay out of your own way keep grinding and never get up
>>82611884Well, I don't have insurance, but...ok.
I didn't got back to check on my GF eight years ago, she died and wasn't found for three days.If I could return to that night, I would tell her she was loved and stayed with her throughout time.
>>82611575>Luckily, he died of COVID in late-2021.just reading this sent a wave of catharsis through me. god is good.
>>82610965how does one get kicked out twice?

>>82610965Im not sure which is more confusing, all those guys' medals or you somehow getting kicked out twice
>>82610965Wasting 3 years in college before dropping out. I knew I was too retarded for it but everyone around me kept saying I could do it.
>>82611847Leave it to the nigger at the front of stand at attention like a retard instead of properly standing at attention. Old Buckle knee motherfucker
>>82610965>but what's the single biggest regret of your life so far?doing absolutely nothing since 2017
>>82610965I wasn't kicked out of the military, but I should have been LOL. I was such a shit bag, and I actually regret it. If I went back in time I'd actually try.
>>82610965Breaking up with my egf after she cheated on me instead of going full groomer abusechad
>>82613534Would this really have made you happier in the long run? Having no relationship is better than one founded on abuse and mistrust.
>>82610965I knew life was going to be shit even when I was a teenager. I could see the writing on the wall. My family was losers, I had zero connections, I had no real goals.I didn't leave my situation. I didn't try to change. Out of fear. Yeah I might have went broke and/or died, but that's risk vs reward. Staying with losers in losertown guarantees you one thing in life: being a fucking loser.
>>82613662Yes it would have. At this point I firmly believe she was shit testing me, she wanted me to put her in her place and instead of doing so I cut her off and ran away. Insane levels of regret I'm about to start tweaking hard thinking about it I REGRET SO MUCH AAAARG FUCK I'm so fucking stupid. My life will have no greater mistake than leaving that rapebait slut. She wanted me to take control of her life but I was a naive retard and wanted LOVE. >Having no relationship is better than one founded on abuse and mistrust.I disagree heavily. I would be infinitely happier right now if she was my abuse slave pet and she probably would too as the break up hit her pretty bad.We could have been living together at this point BUT SHE'S A STUPID BITCH AND I'M A RETARDED PUSSY.
>>82610965I went AWOL during basic training because I couldnt handle it. Thats pretty bad lol. I dont think theyd take me back.
>>82610965how did you get kicked out twice? why did they let you back in after the first time? why didnt you learn your lesson? why should you get a third chance?
>>82611695I was in the marines before I got kicked out for fraudulent enlistment. It's not difficult, just unpleasant. We only got the bad flavors of crayon =(
Getting more life/ work experience when I was 18-25NOT because I would have liked these experiences, but because I spend a long time thinking I was missing out on so much shit by just doing my own thing and avoiding life. I thought that if I had a job and other normie shit I'd finally be happy. I wasted years being ashamed of myself. Then I actually had these experiences between 28-30 and it showed me how little I was missing out on, and how my intuitions about avoiding that shit were actually right. What I'm essentially saying is that I could have had my level of perspective, initiation and individuation 10 years ago.
>>82611112>I will absolutely cheat the HR system and pretend to have a complete bachelor's as well.All HR has to do to verify a degree is to search the school's graduation list. Or more likely, email Records and have them do it.
>>82610965>what's the single biggest regret of your life so far?Moving in with my brother from ages 18 to 19 during the first 1.5 years of uni. Ended up being emotionally, physically, and financially abused by him. I could have had a normal rose-tinted college experience and instead I got drug-filled nightmare hell world where became scared of footsteps because I knew it meant I was probably about to get punched again. I turned out successful and healthy in the end after getting away from him, but it really fucked me up for a while. It's an extremely odd feeling to be a man who isn't even 30 yet I know exactly how a battered housewife feels.
>>82611517I got into a squabble with my supervisor and quit my job on the spot. Only thing I regret is that I allowed that faggot to get under my skin to the point that I wasn't able to control my actions fully. I don't regret leaving the job
>>82610965Deciding to use 4chan.org at the age of fourteen.
>>82610965Protecting my own peace and comfort too hard and never taking any risks or chances with my life for the things I wanted.
>>82610965Dropping out of elementary school lmao
>>82611018Nah you would've hated it in the military I withdrew from the DEP and glad I did>Threatened suicideHonestly just gonna do that for WW3 fuck fighting for this country
>>82610965Not killing myself because I thought things would get better. The more I look back, the more I see the cards were REALLY stacked against since I was born.
