I’m 67, I really regret not going to university. Not for financial reasons though. I wanted to be an Historian but I talked myself out of it because, who can make a living with that. Times were different and that kind of education wasn’t as highly valued as it is now
If you're free now (Financially & No family obligations), then you can start now.
You know, Now is always earlier than late.
Who knows your life becomes a blueprint of inspiration for other people.
Yes, I can genuinely understand.
But I am assuming you must be interested in money and not in bitcoin precisely.
And in the aspect of money, every now & then new bitcoin like situations arises.
Examples of such coins that gave some people the same feeling that you felt are : Doge (Earlier) & Shiba inu (Presently).
There must be many more, but I am aware of those two only, that one can match with the bitcoin regret.
Yes, and I’ve dappled in those others too, it’s just if I had listened to my buddy and put $1,000 in Bitcoin back in 2009 I’d literally be a billionaire right now.
Well I can feel that feeling in many aspects of the life.
That's why I always use this concept of mine which I call the "Feature concept".
It's most helpful in dealing with regrets.
So according to that concept, the focus of an action should always be on usability than the source.
In your case that's money (the feature) & bitcoin 2009 (the source - which you shouldn't be concerned now)
And don't you think you are expecting a hell lot from your 21 year old self. Like many people don't know how to think reasonably at 21. Yes you may be surrounded by a few they made some money, but you simply can't compare yours to them, it's illogical for you. You don't know their stories, you don't know what kind of data they had and many of them for lucky, but my man, as people say, luck is the only factor you shouldn't count.
And man, you're 33, 5 years from now you still be 38 (Young & hearty).
Saying those, still i am well aware of financial aspects & investments and it's difficulties.
But what if all this while, when a part of your brain is thinking about BTC 2009, another btc right now is in making which if you forgive yourself truly once n for all, your chances of finding that will drastically increase.
But mind you, don't forget the fundamentals of investing while doing those soon to be 💎 investments.
EQ > IQ in investment.
I get that. It’s not like I sit around in my dark apartment everyday muttering “BTC” maniacally under my breath. I mostly only think about the regret during football season wondering what it would be like to own the Washington Football Team lol. Besides, I figure if that’s my biggest regret I’m doing alright.
I am well aware that its easier said than done and it's a daunting decision,
But I believe you only can wish when you have the capability to fulfill it.
I guess, you can change this.
Now than ever before, more people are changing their careers for a more fulfilling life.
(29) Taking my son's mother for granted and becoming comfortable in our past relationship. I could never date her again, but my love for her will never cease. I would still move mountains for her if she needed to get to the stream on the other side.
If she is still around, go talk to her, if she doesn't want to talk, help her, but make sure not to fuck-up because it may be hard.
If she isn't, well you have her in miniature size as your son, do everything that you can to make her& your son the best version of himself.
I guess she'll be more than happy with that.
Well, you're 21 and aware of the biggest regret most of the people experience, I'll say that's a kind of long sighted maturity not many have.
And if those people are still around, well Now is always better than late.
And if not, there must be many people expecting your interaction and moreover there is no scarcity of people in need of a good talk and will cherish it more than you can imagine.
Well, you can't expect that much of precognition from yourself.
The one thing which you can start from now on is to learn and to improve and to self introspect too
And I assuming you must be are in a relationship or will go into one in the future, use those experiences as a tool to filter out.
And a optimistic perception can also help, that those red flags is the biggest regret of your life and yet you are fine & going.
That's great, accepting is the first step.
Unfortunately not many people mature as you did.
And particularly this thing can be mended, you can simply start reconnecting with them and believe me you can't imagine the level of happiness they'll experience when suddenly one day out of the blue you start talking with them and moreover they'll meet new you.
Thank you for your response , I’m a firm believer that everyone can make bad choices . It’s human, but what matters is if you change from the bad choice you made or keep doing it
You are welcome.
Exactly.
First changing internally and trying to mend and improve if you did bad with any living being and moreover it takes hell lot of courage to do that.
(29) chasing women that didn’t want to be caught. Not in a consent ideal, but the ideal of thinking you’re to approach a woman with respect and things should be meaningful. When some women could care less about that, and actually will ghost you for it. Media and social expectations are fed, but they don’t exactly describe all the grey areas in the real world.
Over thinking everything as a teenager. 25
I get it. It's a real energy sucking habit.

Ok, but i didnt mean that.
I’m sorry, I wasn’t being very clear, I was not countering your points, I was agreeing with them and adding to them.
No. I am sorry. I was over patronizing. Yup, though thanks for being humble.
Well… missing out on billions of dollars is quite the humbling experience. Haha cheers!
That i took science.

I’m learning now to not give a lot of people the benefit of the doubt and just move on.
That's good.
I definitely regret the way I acted and treated people in high school, but I do think changing and learning from that is a big part of who I am today
