I Rarely Feel Regret, But I Now Am
And to make things worse, it’s for such a shallow reason. Last year, I answered back to a teacher, and was placed on probation because of it. So what? I didn’t feel any remorse. Not one bit.
But today, I feel regret for something I shouldn’t even feel it for. I feel regret for not talking to a person I may never ever see again and that this day was my one and only chance. I don’t know why I’m feeling so remorseful out of the entire situation especially since I don’t even know the guy.
It may sound confusing to you, but if you hear the back story of it, I’ll most probably end up sounding even stupider than I already am.
I hate adolescence.

Hahah, I know how you feel about not being able to talk to someone, and it may have been your last time of seeing them ever. That happened to me before… Most of the other times, I KNOW that I’d “regret” NOT talking to them rather than if I did talk to them, so I end up getting the courage to talk to them in the end. I don’t regret things, just… Disappointed? But things happen for a reason…

Aw, I understand what you’re saying. I am sorry that you are feeling this way. It’s definitely not a good feeling. I know that much. :\

Not sure if this is the same, but I remember having that same feeling when I was in high school. It was a boy that I knew I should have said what I was thinking/feeling that one day, that one moment I had alone with him. But I didn’t. I always regretted it afterwards, and it was an awful feeling. Adolescence does suck, and sometimes it doesn’t even get better with age. :/

@Lucy: I’m in almost the same scenario. I’m still hating it.

I seem to feel that way a lot, actually. Probably because I’m almost incessantly holding myself back. I’m such a freakin’ coward sometimes!
