>>83834640If I had to pick one it's not leaving my e-gf for the irl girl who had a crush on me in high school, I could've been a sexhaver normie and now I'm a 24-year-old khhvProbably would've stayed in college instead of dropping out due to being a miserable lonely fuck and had a nice job and a stable relationship by now
>>83834658>e-gfWhat's wrong with you, there is no such thing
>>83834640Absolutely sure my life wouldn't be perfect anyway. But.I caved to parents pressure and went to top university majoring business instead of going mediocre one majoring engineering. I was admitted to both.Been in top university completely destroyed my self esteem. I was frail and weak boy but at least in school I was one of smartests fucks In the room, in university? I was surrounded with people who were same smart but physically absolutely mogged me. I became completely despaired with my place in the world so after graduation I went neet. Many years after I got an employment and slowly somewhat recovered, in real life it was less competition and molany stupid people so I found my niche doing things that stupid people can't. But it took so much time and I was set in life and career behind forever. Its better to be a king among sheep than a serf among lions.

I was doing well with cryptocurrency trading for a while, had a streak of losses, and became so stressed and fed up that I did something irrational and lost 75% of it. I stopped interacting with the crypto market after that. To anyone who has income, the amount of money I lost was nothing. The only money I've ever gotten came from family as a gift on christmas and my birthday, so for me it was soulcrushing. An enormous amount of time and energy was spent researching and trading every day. I was stressed out of my mind 24/7. I slowly made great gains, and it became easier to make more money as my total wallet balance increased. Just one day of mania and delusion ruined it. That was nearly 4 years ago and I've still never made money any other way
>>83834762How much did you make? What were your methods for studying markets and trends? Icarus was exalted as he fell, for he knew that falling meant he soared.
yeah, i'm not smarter than i am
>>83834640I violated an RO which incidentally did not really need to be a thing in the first place because I made no threats and did not even physically show up anywhere. I was kinda just being intense which, yeah, can be considered harassment from a certain point of view. Anyways, I intentionally violated it and, yeah, really messed my life up over it, all because I was reckless and felt like I had nothing to lose.Victim opposed diversionary program because she was mad I made people think she cheated with me.
>>83834640When I was a kid (4th grade i think) my dad stopped making me cut my hair, so it just grew and grew. The next grade it was pretty long but I was scared to cut it because I didn't want to go through everyone's reactions to me having cut it (idfk, I was a kid, i thought it would be embarrassing). This continued until fucking sophomore year in high school (my hair was so long it reached my butt) in which I got a buzz cut during the summer going into junior year. I'm pretty sure this one decision is what largely caused me to be a social outcast, fucked up my social skills, and fucked up my confidence. Because my hair was fairly unkempt and not styled I didn't look like someone you'd want to be friends with. I never wanted long hair to begin with but I still kept it for so long because I was afraid of other peoples' reactions.
>>83834640doing drugs instead of homework
>>83834640Yeah. It was not trying in earnest to pursue the things I was actually passionate about
>>83834640Studying hardware engineering. Ruined the trajectory of my life permanently
Camwhoring at 16 the night soc was created changed my entire life for the worse and gave me a huge monkey on my back
Moving back to my hometown during Junior year of highschool. Became a social outcast at my new school cause at that point in the year everyone was already acquainted with each other and I was the weird new kid nobody wanted to talk to.

listened to my parentsdon't get me wrong, I appreciate that they were trying. But looking back I can't help but think that every time I obeyed them instead of my own desires I was getting further and further from where I could have ended up.
>>83836363Funny as fuck then I have my stupid cousin who couldn't a restraining order against her ex bf who beat her and molested her sisters and occasionally shows up at their kid's school to threaten her and he leaves before the cops show up so they tell her that's hearsay and leave. I tell people the system is set up to maximize suffering and they look at me like I'm retarded.
>>83834762>Cypto Fucking kek.Like 99% of that shit is rug pull scams or just blatant scams.
>>83834640smoking weed, I got even more depressed and anxious and I wasted a few months after that. (I want to do it again tho)
>>83838498Weed is definitely addictive. I can never quit weed and alcohol at the same time it has to be one or the other
>>83838507I smoke weed only a few times a year but the urge to do it again is so strong. I like alcohol too but I never drink alone, ik that I'll get addicted immediately
>>83834640No. I can remember many bad decisions, but thinking about it more, I decided that way because I am who I am, so it couldnt be any other way.
>>83834645Same here. I wasn't even trying to be crummy or anything, I just panicked and bent the truth. The thing is what I told them would have been true if I had stuck to my original plan but I was a coward so what I said ended up being a lie. I got in touch a year later to apologise and they didn't seem to understand why I was freaking out, but it's eaten at me ever since. A lot of the time I feel like I've lived beyond my expiry date and that I'm just drifting around now like in GTA when you've completed all the missions.
not really my decision but very fixable problems in childhood.you can just correct eyes, teeth, autism, etc before they become a problem later in life. men undergo painful surgeries for an extra inch of height. alternatively, their parents could have fed them properly.
