I'm happy with the person I am.  Am I perfect? No, there's alot of things I could change to make a 'better' self by most estimations.

I've found one thing I would have changed, but I don't think that would have affected my life today, it would have just been another good memory to fall back on that isn't there now

Not even then. Let's take an example from out there.

Let's suppose there was the cutest girl in the whole damned world, and I had a huge crush on her. One day, I muster up the courage to talk with her. Maybe I see her as my reason for being. You know, all that stuff you get worked up about.

I walk up to her, but as I'm approaching, my inner voice jumps in to panic me. I succumb. I grab a nearby fire extinguisher and proceed to spray her.

A bad situation? Better to consider it a great story to tell at a later point. :D

35th Bitter Being
Wow some interesting flashbacks from some people here. I'll do mine too:

1) I wish I haven't been such a nerd for the past 20 years (I'm 22...)

Possible outcome: I may have been fitter for longer, and feel more self confident during these years, and maybe get at least ONE girl to like me. But then, I probably won't be doing an Honours year now if I hadn't been studying that hard.

2) I wish I've talked to this girl more since highschool

Possible outcome: We could've been closer friends, if not more. But then again, with out wish #1, every girl will think of me as a friend. Oh, so many months drowned in depression.

3) I wish I haven't fall into this routine of "Mr. Nice Guy"

Possible outcome: Linked with #1. People wouldn't have find me so easy to take advantage of, and maybe my personality would've changed if the only person I think of is myself. I also hate it when girls describe me as being "nice".

4) I wish I've taken up martial arts training much earlier

Possible outcome: I would've learned how to fight by now. Real regret here.



Those said, all the first three wishes I described (that never happened) changed me a lot. I learned to be that "nice" person, but is strong and will stand up for myself. People who try to take advantage of me because I look like a nice person will be pleasantly surprised......

Random thoughts:
The bitter side of me now rejects the notion of romantic love. My bitter side says "f**k love, it's a bunch of lies and deceit"

I also feel like reading about the Skaven also changed my personality. Those who've read Children of the Horned Rat may know what I mean.

Final thought? I am who I am, and I play the hands that is dealt to me. I never regret discarding any cards.

Hm... Linnal just reminded me of something...

I get told I'm the "nice guy" a lot... and, to a large extent, I think that comes from the fact that I've been picked on so much for a lot of my life, both in school and by certain family members... dealing with all the crap I've dealt with (nevermind losing my grandmother, and multiple pets, by age 8...) has given me a rather... over-large sense of empathy and sympathy...

On the flipside of this, I tend to forego my own problems and ignore bugger going on in my life if I have a friend in need... so... yeah. I've learned to be suspicious enough to avoid being taken advantage of, and I'm rather paranoid about giving out my trust (again - "crap I've dealt with" pretty much covers it...), but my own want to help others can sometimes cloud my view of what I should be focusing on... and it tends to not work out horribly well.
And that's where internalising everything and being an introvert becomes a pain in the ass. :P

Rawrrrr! (Monster)
In my friendship group I'm pretty much seen as the shoulder everyone cries on, cos sometimes I'm too damn nice for my own good. Because of this the only shoulders I have to cry on live too far away... I don't regret it, If I hadn't done it my best friend probably would have killed herself by now. I'm just kind of resentful because now she always needs me to be there for her and she doesn't do the same in return. She's developed a kinda me me me complex...

Meh *thinks happy thoughts*

Peace

I also met a really nice looking paving slab offcut when I was there. There was a mutual interest in each other as it let me rest my head on her during the night. Then I was a bit of a twat and left before it woke up in the morning. Ha ha, take that you slab!

... Wow... why do I have the odd feeling that like, half the people posting in this thread would end up INFPs if they took a Myer-Briggs Personality test? :P (myself included - I know from many, many testings over the years that I'm an INFP...)
(INFP=Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving. M-B test rates in;
Introverted/Extroverted
Sensing/iNtuitive
Feeling/Thinking
Perceiving/Judging)

Grim, I think I took that and was analytical ... some group that was 1 or 2% of the population.

Try that... there's a lot of other tests on the site, but that's the first one I grabbed... (if anyone who's female clicks the link; find your way back to the main site; a lot of the results are different depending on gender.)
