What are regrets but decisions we made in the past?
To regret something is to live in the past, to live in the past means that you're letting yourself die every time you do so. If you regret something, you are merely saying that you have been unable to cope with your decision. So why not change? Everyday is a new day and a new start.
I regret nothing. My decisions are mine and mine alone, what I decide to do is knowingly something that will live with me and influence my future. I started playing competitively at the age of 12, knowing full-well that my life would never be like another persons. And who is to say what 'normal' is? If you show me what a 'normal' person is supposed to be/look like, I will give you all the money I have. I am who I am, I live for myself and do what makes me happy everyday.
I regret nothing.
I regret spending 4 years in a relationship with a guy who would only let me watch him play video games, never let me play. I now look at my 2000 hours of TF2 with pride :)

also, socially stunting myself by being a complete shut-in all through middle school and high school, to the point that even today i don't know how to make friends or ask people if they want to hang out. it really sucks knowing that you're normal except for one fucking thing, and the only thing that's holding you back is yourself, but you don't know how to change because you never learned how to be normal.

i guess i sort of regret ever playing this game. if i didn't, i might actually study, might maybe like do something with my life instead of video games. instead, here i am at 2:30 am, with an essay to write and 4 finals to study for, in this fort of escapism where i pretend there are no things to harass me from my future, my mind whispering sweet nothings to me, telling me that "YOUR GPA DOESN'T MATTER! YOUR GPA DOESN'T MATTER!" yet conflicting messages to me from all sides ultimately leave myself conflicted of what to do with myself and it's heartbreaking, knowing that i'll never excel at anything simply because i don't have the drive to and no matter how much i play i'll still always be shit at this game
my biggest regret is writing this, i had a really bad game night sorry team
-Octane-This game is probably the worst thing to happen to me in the whole of my life. The fact that every day I play it, just to see snails pace results, make me feel like shit and also makes me want to continue playing. As I'm reading in this thread, a good number of people haven't done well in school, probably and most likely directly correlating to tf2. Throughout my whole freshman year, I had
A GPA of 2.1 average. Skipped all my homework and everything else for this.
Not trying to sound like a fucking nerd but, if you enjoy this game too much, it will consume the shit out of you. This probably happens with all popular games, but tf2 seems to have the most effect on me personally. Honestly, seeing what this game's effect on me is, it's really insane to keep playing.
On the one hand, your GPA doesn't really matter as long as you meet the required minimums for graduating/getting into the programs of your choice. When you're looking for work with a Bachelor's degree your employers don't care about your grades. That said, deciding to get good (or bad) grades can limit future choices that you don't even know are available to you at the time you make said decisions; like deciding to play TF2 for another few hours each night, because you're already getting A's and B's, and that's enough to get that college/internship/something-or-other, right? But if you ever want to go to grad school or get good at something that isn't clicking on people or get that sweet, sweet scholarship money you'd better start prioritizing your schoolwork.
The way I see it is, if you're going to spend time playing TF2 you might as well go full b4nny and try the shit out of it, otherwise you aren't even getting a sense of achievement out of all the time you're wasting. Trust me, there are other ways to have fun that won't leave you with a hole in your resume and 15 pounds overweight and getting dumped by your girlfriend. Maybe some people can play this game and be consistently mediocre and still have "fun" but I don't think that's the majority, most people I talk to link in-game success with their level of enjoyment. And limiting your tf2 playtime will still distract you from other IRL priorities like grades, having friends, practicing your art or sports or whatever, and you still will be mediocre in game.
Anyways best of luck in the future, I hope things work out :)

My only problem with socialising is "when is it out of bound"? When does it become unappropriate? I met this girl recently and I want to make a move and take the lead, but I don't want to come out as invading either.
Not sticking with hockey, lacrosse and working out, now I'm 80 pounds overweight and love 2 sports that I have no way of playing.
Coming back to TF2 and encountering the same problems that made me quit, yet still staying (this has happened like 3 times so far)
Ever meeting the girl who has made the last 6 months of my life hell
Not telling said girl to fuck off even though I've had a million chances
Being too nice to people IRL and getting taken advantage of, which now I am a huge asshole just so people won't ask me for shit and its lost me almost every one of my friends.

i have the same problem to an extent, i know how to conduct myself in conversations but when it comes to initiating i just can't. i can hold a conversation for hours if someone grabs my attention and initiates it, but other than that i don't really talk a whole ton :/
Exactly what saber said. Hang in there bud, I haven't exactly gotten over it so I can't tell you words of encouragement but you have to believe that you can.
Adding to that: taking on the big responsibility of a scholarship abroad when I wasn't ready for it. And then wasting that big opportunity playing videogames and turning a 6 digit scholarship into 6 digit college debt (and still no degree).
It feels really shitty that when I saw the other thread about your proudest moments...I could think of ZERO things to post.
video games
procrastination habits
being a total recluse for a long time and then immediately falling back into it after graduating
that weird edgy phase in 7th and 8th grade when i listened to atreyu and avenged sevenfold ew wtf
wish i had never met a lot of people

pie_heroI regret ever having the thought of suicide life is way to beautiful to waste it. Especially because you only have one life #yohol, not to mention the fact that no matter how insignificant you think you are your death will affect someone.
while they don't admit it to me, pretty much all of the (3 or 4) people i know in real life would actually benefit from my death. i regret my life not because it's shitty but because it's pointless
actually, can you regret your genetics? if so i want to change my answer
TF2 wise, i regret not trying to make friends with anyone when i was into the game. having a community of sorts would have made it much more enjoyable.

Doesn't sound like you have anything to regret. There's a very, very large difference in things you accept as decisions and things you regret.
It's good to see most of this community only has regrets they know how to rectify.
Not continuing with boy scouts because I preferred to play video games for the 2 hours it took out of my week
Not being effective at planing my time.
It's fucked up my relationship with my dad and it's fucked up my grades harder than I thought anything ever could.
I can honestly say I am glad that I made some of the mistakes/stupid decisions I did.
It was only learning from the really dumb stuff I did (failing university twice, dropping real life friends for a girl I met on the internet, working a minimum wage job because I wanted to feel worthless), I wouldn't have sorted myself out and gotten to be where I am now (which is much nicer)
I hope you all can learn from these regrets, and turn them into something you build your character up on.
becoming 40+ pounds underweight and acting like i didnt have a problem for 2 years. still have bad eating habits and fucked up my stomach too. trying to figure out how to eat better and exercise but eating more than a bird-size meal makes me feel sick
wow this is all too depressing.
Also No regret YOLO
A year ago after just after Christmas I wish I would have broke up with my girlfriend... We haven't had a good relationship ever since. For what ever fucked up reason we are still together and June 21 will be our two years... Honestly wish I would have broken up with her then... Broke my heart once and I know sometime again history will repeat itself if it hasn't already happen behind my back.
There are a few things that I really regret in life. Right now, I regret letting myself get so fat, but I'm finally starting to do something about it so I guess that's a start (lost almost 30 pounds now!).
Most of my regrets in life have turned into strengths for me.

holy shit
to a degree I regret ever installing steam. I have no idea what I might have achieved with those ~1500 hours (across several games), and I feel they could have been spent more productively.
already been said in this thread, but w/e
Back in high-school I was suppose to wrestle a mentally challenged kid and I was suppose to lose to make him feel better(wouldn't go against my official record)
But my coach never told me and I thought the special kid was fucking with me :c. And well I made him cry and I looked like a complete ass.
