Not investing in my 20s, not buying a house as soon as I could.

No one on here saying voting for a certain someone last week. good. All sane posters on this thread.

So many.

Going to the undergrad I did. An SLAC. I ended up with few marketable skills, some debt, and the alumni network of a tiny school with few sports and little to no school spirit is never going to compare to the totally free state school I could have attended.

Also, marrying my ex.

Unbelievably evil and wicked.

Not starting serious therapy in my 20's.

I'd love to know what my life could have been if I'd sorted out some of my crap 30 years earlier. I might have made really different decisions about things I now regret.

I don’t regret having kids but could have waited longer to have them so I could travel more and enjoy the independence that comes without childcare.

Having kids.

I stayed away from an elderly relative. It was post vaccines and I was traveling in the summer but she was fragile and it was her request.
She died that fall and I never saw her again. Just to give you the flip side.

I visit with my elderly relatives outside and a good eight feet away and I test before I go over.

Having kids. Perhaps I'd feel differently if I didn't end up with twins with significant special needs, but there's no way to know what you'll have. There really needs to be a way to screen for ASD during pregnancy.

worrying too much about what others think.

Same. I wish I knew it was ok to just be. No need to “see and be seen” because it is meaningless and wasted time.

Also, drinking too much.

In a scary, stressful situation you reached out to someone you thought would be helpful. You deserve to find peace.
