Younger people still have their whole life ahead of them. It's hard to regret something you didn't do when you are only 20. I mean... life just has started for you.
People who didn't go to school regret not going. People who went to school regret not trying harder. People who tried hard regret not enjoying their time. There's always positives and negatives to our choices, best to focus on the positive rather than regret the negative.
Really well said, since some felt no regrets. I can’t relate but every time I do have a “regret” I see it now as more of learning opportunity. After all life is full of regrets and learned lessons that benefit all.
@@isiahmccosh8540 I really don't understand people that say they have no regrets. That means you always treated people fairly and basically lived the life of a saint.
@@danieldavis3035They don’t say they haven’t made mistakes, but that there’s nothing they would change. A regret isn’t simply a mistake, it’s a choice you made in your past that you would change. As that one guy said in the video, he’s made a lot of mistakes, but that got him to where he is now, so he wouldn’t change a thing. Obviously. anyone saying they haven’t made mistakes are being ridiculous, but regrets aren’t necessary for every mistake
I feel like based on this one + the “hardest thing you’ve ever done” video where she says “forgive my father”......I feel like there’s some dark history of abuse there:(
Notice how 99% of the adult's regrets start with 'not'. You don't regret what you did, you regret what you didn't do. Take a chance in life and do what you're scared to do!
I'm 22 and my one regret is waiting. Waiting for a "perfect time" before I do something, anything. Waiting for an opportunity to come by. Waiting for other people to catch up to me. Waiting for a perfect moment to say what I need to say. And many many more. So I guess, if there's any take away it's to just stop waiting. Because yeah good things come to those who wait but remember that greater things come to those who make it happen.
@@tekgewet you're still so young, at 15 I did some things, but after that I kinda wasted my time and had some problems and fell into deeper depression than what I was experiencing. But now I'm trying to recover and trying to do good things again.
The biggest regret i have is ever since my dog passed away in 2017, i did not give a final goodbye hug because i had severe OCD at the time. And knowing about the fact that i didn't give a final goodbye hug to my dog that i've really loved, makes me hate the fact that i'm alive. It brings tears to my eyes that i didn't give the last goodbye hug to my dog. I'm a 15yr old boy, and i still cry every time i think about the day my dog died, and that i didn't give a final goodbye hug
@@WillyShanker I know the hug was important to you, but would your dog want you to feel this regret? Can you concentrate on how lucky you are to have had this dog you loved so much? If you loved your dog and treated him or her well, please try to think about that . It is not easy to lose someone you love. Sorry for your pain.
I really resonate with the 31 year old. I'm 19 now, my biggest regret was watching peers around me get made fun of, excluded, alienated, etc in middle/high school and not doing anything about it. It wasn't my fault that they were bullied but I feel that to an extent I'm also responsible for seeing and allowing it to happen. It breaks my heart thinking about how it may have affected these kids having to come to a place 5 days a week for 7 hours where they don't even feel like they belong. Stand up for people, you never know how much it can mean to someone for even just one person to show that they care.
@@joseluispcr yeah it’s clearly yours. A pushover that never stood up for himself. If you weren’t filled with so much anger and hatred then it wouldn’t have been so hard for you to stand up, you wouldn’t have been bullied in the first place
i'm 17 and my biggest regret was bullying kids. Back then i was 12 and i didn't know just how much pain i caused to people. left me with a guilt for few years until i finally got the courage to forgive myself and say sorry to these people.
The one where the guy regrets "not giving more ice cream to his dad" 3:22, is probably the saddest one. Sometimes small things can really leave huge impacts.
@@alessandrodigiraffe2355 honestly I don’t believe you are correct. If you had a parent die you would know it’s those little things that you could have done better haunt you, especially if you’re a parent your self you realize how much your parents love you and how much they sacrificed.
@@Rayanamazzal It's not about working hard, he regrets taking everything too seriously. In other words, for example being way too anxious about other people's thoughts about him, not accepting mistakes etc.
Laura Juric girl get out more. My best friend is 21 and she finished her degree in finance and economics with honors in 2.5 yrs instead of 4. She always says she wishes she slowed down and took time to enjoy life as a student (and study abroad). She's currently struggling to figure out what her next step in life is but she's finally taking time to relax and be a alittle irresponsible before joining adulthood. Find a good balance😀
***** That's exactly what I'm going through right now. Just trying to MAKE time for other things. This semester I only studied and studied. I have perfect grades but it doesn't satisfy me. It feels as if by constantly spending time with books, I kind of lose myself as a person and become this machine. All these hobbies and conversations that make you who you are, when you don't have it anymore, are you still YOU? Thanks for answering by the way.
i turned 22 yesterday. Still have not got much thing to regret, but as I saw this video, I realize that I HAVE to try more things. Before my fear turns into regret
It actually made me laugh. I thought... this is what you regret?? On the surface, it sounds narcissistic, but I get how we form distorted views of ourselves, and think we're awful, when in reality, nobody is either thinking about you at all, or has a positive view of you... but we walk around thinking we're hideous.
Understand how 'not doing something' is the BIGGEST reason here. Trust me, failure will not hurt as much as regret will. Like come on, life is an adventure, so live it like one!
I’m 21. I try not to live with regrets, I believe everything happens for a reason and whatever happens in our lives shapes us into the people we are at present. That being said I do regret not living in the moment at times in my life. Too much time overthinking, being distracted, etc. Learning to put the phone down will really help with that
To be 21 and see this is amazing. I am in my mid 40s, and my mom is in her early 70's She told me she had so many regrets, and she would have married a different person or had done different things career wise. Then asked me if I would do things differently. I told her NOPE...because everything I have done lead me to the life I have. I have a wonderful son, and believe it or not career and relationship decisions had an impact on me meeting my ex who I have my son with. I followed up with also, "Mom, if you married a different man, you would have had me and my brothers"
It’s interesting how none of these regrets really included money - which is what a lot of us are chasing nowadays. None of them said “I regret not making enough money...”. Sending love to everyone.
I’m 50. My two main regrets when I was younger are that I regret people pleasing and also allowing people to define who I thought I was. Live your life. There are 8 billion people on the planet and if you met every single one, all of them would have a different opinion of you and none would be correct.
i’m 24 and unfortunately i’m still like this. i always tell myself to stop being too nice to people but eventually i’ll be nice to the point they take advantage of me. i don’t know to change to be more firm & confident but i really hope i’ll get there one day.
I regret not dating when I was younger. I then learnt the hard way what people can be about, narcissism, gas lighting , abuse, I just didn’t have the tools to identify red flags nor did I have a point of reference…. It took me years to grow my emotional intelligence cause I also always avoided people and drama and also I learnt to trust myself more. Now I’m with the man not of my dreams cause he’s way better than what my mind could concoct.
I just wanted to tell y'all anxiety its not your fault. I get you, but its not something you have control about. You're not alone and I hope with time hopefully you can achieve everything you want in life. I believe in you okay?
When you're acting/ being inauthentic people can see through it. So technically you were still a child in people's eyes. You can fake words and actions but you can't fake energy.
I’m 18 and my three biggest regrets probably are: 1) Not being more social and active in high school. 2) Quitting sports 3) Not asking out the girl I liked before she moved away.
You still have a chance to move things around. Make use of your college days and talk to as many people as possible. Try to be less picky and less judgmental. I wish I had. I am 28 years old and I have just started feeling the weight of it all. All the things that I should have done and it doesn't feel pleasant. So please seize the day and life your life to the fullest.
id say 28 is still young imo. atleast you've better experience of what you want to do. im 25 and have been in therapy for just an year now and getting better finally. i still consider myself as a 23yo bec i lost 2 years due to covid all the things i wanted to do. id say man please just take action. im closer to your age then OP so thats why seeing you do better and seize the opportunities now too. ask that woman out, play that instrument and start that hobby. hope we can stay in touch@@fromamoroccanperspective3318
It gets darker and darker...youth really is a time full of innocence while the older you get the more tainted you become with reality. Best to find the balance between the two.
We are spirits in a material world sang Sting! Don't Stand so close to me. Jesus said, "Father forgive them the don't know what they are doing!" The Father was in Christ reconciling the world back to Himself. So we know by grace through faith our wealth is not in our 'selfies' But in The Holy Spirit's leading as the only foundation has been established Jesus Christ God the Son shared our sadness. But overcame death and that worse fate-His Word is never out of date. Whereas Satan- Lucifer the Angel of light,the father lies, hypnotise despise twist people's thinking. So we meditate (chihuahua) on The Sacred Word The Holy Bible So then personal revival every morning on awaking God is Love. Even if you are breaking in body mind spirit His grace is plenty. Elementary! Great Riches At Christ's Expense!
My father passed away when I was 16. To this day I can't remember telling him how much I loved him. My only regret is not telling him every day. That was 46 years ago.
My father passed when i was nine. I regret not asking him about his life for myself and also so i could tell my kids stories he told me. But then again i was only nine. I cant even call him "dad" not only because it is somewhat childish but because it remindes me of him. I function better when i dont think about it. Im 18 now
My Mother died when I was 4. I can't remember her telling me she loved me or if I ever told her. I'm sure she loved me of course and I do remember some small moments and I can remember being able to remember a few more but our time together was so short. I certainly wish I could have known her as an adult and of course I wish she'd been with me my whole life but I don't think that counts as a regret. I couldn't have changed what happened so I can't regret it. 🤷♀️
I do however regret not telling my father how much his actions hurt me and impacted my life, before he died. It may have helped me, it may not have but it's frustrating none the less to know I'll never be able to scream at him and some how make him understand.😕
It seems no matter what you do you would regret something. Whatever choice you happen to make, you’ll miss out on the other. So you might as well focus your energy on what you’re grateful for rather than regrets. ❤
finally someone who understands. my biggest regret is having had too many regrets in life. with that said the present moment is the one and only reality there will ever be so why dont enjoy it without regretting so much
There will always be things you don’t do. So you regret not doing them. You have to realize that the present is extremely complicated, and stop putting too much responsibility on yourself.
I’m about to turn 29 in a few days. My biggest regret is not standing up for myself more. There were times I should have pushed back against people’s abuse and there were times I should’ve just walked away with my dignity.
There is a little kid i know that alwase sais to there mom "you ruind my life!" when she does something he doesnt like, and he went to my house to be babysat by my older sisters, and i was having a fun time with him, so when it was time to leave he said "you ruind my best life!"
@@starlegends3092 Ahaha, that's too cute! It's fascinating how every moment is so big for a child: something small they don't like can seem so big to them that it "ruins their life" lol.
I am 18 years old and I regret two things: 1-not having lived my adolescence in the best way and not having made friends because of my social anxiety 2-not having taken advantage of all the free time I had as a child and adolescent to learn and do new things
True. This video is super important for younger audiences to learn what previous generations have regretted so hopefully they can learn and don’t make the same mistakes.
@@agstardust9944 I think he means that people should’ve said they had no regrets, because to regret something also means to wish that every other event after your regretted decision would change too, making you another person and not making you “who they were meant to be”.
Did anyone else feel that man's pain as he regretted not giving his father more ice cream before he passed? As a doctor, please, give your dying loved ones all the ice cream they want. Breakfast, lunch, snack, dessert.
Was going to say something about it cause it resonated deeply with me as well. Something about regretting such a simple gesture has something very human about it. Reminds me of how fragile all life is.
That one almost made me cry. My mom is temporarily in a skilled nursing rehab center right now. She’s 82. I won’t let them put her on dietary restrictions because, well, she’s 82. I think she should get to enjoy to the fullest what life she has left.
If you feel you're about to die,might as well eat what you love or like so you can die smiling knowing the last thing you did or eat mada you happy before passing away
We need to appreciate the elderly more and listen to them and thier experiences, they went through bad experiences so we don’t have to. Spend more time with your elders before it’s too late, they’re precious
22: "not taking a chances" 26: "i wish i knew what i really wanted to do earlier" 27: "not getting into computer science at an earlier age" 55: "not listening to my self at times in life when i should have"
My Biggest Regrets: Not studying harder when I was younger Not being confident in myself Not appreciating my parents more and being more respectful and kind Not choosing a major in science in university Not asking girls out that I was interested in Not standing up for people who were being bullied or treated poorly Saying mean things, treating people poorly Not spending my time wisely, learning and developing new skills Not seeing my grandmother one last time before she passed away
+shinyam75 I wholeheartedly agree on the first one and last two regrets you listed. I'm also working on being kinder to my parents and people in general.
I am 28. And I mostly regret not being able to do my studies seriously 5 years ago for nursing.I feel like I let my self down and my mom down. She's getting older, and she will soon retire this year or next year. And things are going to change so much that I need to grow up not live the life I used to. Currently now, I am doing my studies for it so I'm hoping that I can make this 2024 different for myself and my mom. I really am scared for the future but im willing to not take things for granted this time around. Prayers that I can do this...i really need it.
Same. I am 22 now and I want to be more social after the outbreak. I may be a bit late, but still.... I regret not getting a partime job as a teenager, and instead getting my first job at 21 (if you don't count internships etc..)
I don't know how old you are and maybe that doesn't apply to everyone. But don't try to force yourself to be more social and to do things too hard. Maybe try to talk to some people in your environment and try to become friends with some. You might have friends and just not go to "fun things". So maybe you want to go with your friends to wherever they are going next time. Not always just try out. Maybe there are fun places you want to be (I don't know, maybe amusement parks, etc, whatever works for you) and you can ask your friends if you want to go together? If you say it's too hard, maybe you should consider professional help. It's not a shame to get help and it can change your whole life
You shouldn't regret something you can't control, especially when you feel what your doing is the best for you in the moment. And now you know that you may have missed opportunities so you will seek more, better, opportunities.
@@mitchell123456789011 this !! I felt so sad for a long time because I felt like I missed so many fun opportunities when I was studying abroad. However, now I realise I did what I could at the time whilst coping with really bad mental health. There is still the chance to have fun and meet new friends and people
It becomes a pool of regrets when the time slips away, and on looking back we realise that we were able to and we should have studied more efficiently and effectively..........
I don't regret all the fun I spent with friends and watching anime, series, movies when I was younger and fun felt so good. Now fun doesn't feel the same, fun is not fun anymore.
I’m in college now, and didn’t realize how much these years can still be so important in even forty or fifty years. Really felt like a punch in the gut to not take things for granted, especially youth and opportunity and family.
Really, really enjoy your youth, trust me, I regret i didn’t do so much stuff because of fear, thinking about others, or self doubt, at the end of the day that fear or embarrassing moment won’t matter in 5 years. I regret taking high school and college too seriously. Go out with friends, get in relationships, travel no matter if is a local place, get as much positive new experiences as you can, and love your family
I was considering a drastic career change in my late 30s and a friend told me that in the end, you only regret the things you didn't try. I quit my job that week and love my new career.
Melissa McNair in another video he says that the hardest things he went through in his life was his second divorce, which makes his answer in this video even more interesting. I wonder what happened during this marriage.............
"I regret not...." Almost everyone regrets things they haven't done not the things they did..so think about what you really want to do and in 40 years will you regret not doing it?
i guess u are not old enough to realize this but when u are living in the moment, you tend to lose sight on the most important things in life. which is why most of their regrets is not doing something because during that time they are having other problems. by the time they look back then they see the big picture. nobody is that awake to realize the priority in life.
I really hope you’re joking, it’s what they regret- not you. I regret many things that i haven’t done, i’ve missed opportunity’s and missed the chance to say goodbye to my loved ones. some people regret not doing their dream job, gotta think.
I really want age 74 to tell me what he knows now... I'm 18 years old and I would really appreciate and listen. You may not be able to tell it to your young self but maybe you can find a young persosn who is really willing to listen, like me!
Literally love talking to older people in like there 70s + there normal so very nice and there normal always willing to talk to a younger person, they make amazing friends too.
Well, many people regret not having done something. When you are older you understand things better, maybe something like. Yeah I would have been more social because it really isnt bad and i should have looked over my fears.
Listen to your parents when they say try your best in school. I'm not old but I'm old enough to look back and regret that. I wish I could have gone to college and enjoy living in a dorm and go to a university.
Grace Platt That was the saddest one, because I could see myself crying over something just like that as a little kid, and its always to stupid infantile stuff that gets me the worst. 😭
I'm 27 and I regret not having more empathy for strangers. I used to be a lot kinder when I was younger, and fixing that is going to be a lifelong process.
It's the opposite for me, I regret never giving a chance to anyone that has had feelings for me and having spent a lot of years waiting to feel something I don't know if I'm capable of feeling. It gets really lonely sometimes :(
I'm 42, and the one about not knowing how wonderful I was when I was younger really hit me. I think if I regret anything, it's spending so much time worrying about what other people think of me.
i'm 39 i still worry,and that's probably part of being a highly sensitive person. it does get a little better with age but not where i hoped it would be. I'm a young soul in an aging body and sometimes that's really hard to acknowledge
I didnt go through life like this. I didnt really care what people thought of me. I actually cared more of what I thought of myself. I Was my own biggest critic. Elwin, if you dont mind me asking. What are some examples of things you worried about what others thought of you?
@@Mercenary-1914personally. I don’t like being looked at or noticed. I avoid presentations, avoid crowded areas, avoid letting my presence be know, all that stuff. I understand no one truly cares about me, but I can’t help it.

Now man I have a question, why are you so loose and carefree to others opinions ?
I am 27 and I regret letting things go/giving things up too easily such as relationships and goals. I didn’t realize how easy it was to convince myself that it's not meant to be or I gave enough try and then let go of it. Now that I look back, I didn’t try hard enough.
Trust me. You still got alot of years ahead. I'm over 40, and i feel the same way. Had i done more when i was 27, etc. At least you are able to be aware of it now.
@@Logicalsane i have to say your health is the most important/priority thing. As long as your health is in good shape. It gives You'll always have energy and opportunity to enjoy life, whether you're 30, 40, or 50. So start at 30 with good eating habits.. you'll thank yourself when you are 40+.
I noticed that too when I first saw it. But it's also a bit sad because you can tell by her voice she has a lot of shame and apprehension. Very soothing nonetheless.
Noticed how most of them starts with “not doing...”. This just shows that you’ll regret not doing something than doing and failing it. Just go for it, whatever it is. Do it!!
Thanks to reading your comment three month ago, i finally picked myself up and decided to take drugs. I regret when I'm not high, but I'm riding the wave baby 🌊🌊🌊 Jk just saying some things don't deserve doing.
As a 20 year old, I have a vicious cycle, in which I constantly regret not doing certain things earlier even though I'm aware that my life is barely starting and I still have a lot of time to do plenty of things. I just have this belief that there's a stage in life for everything, and I feel frightened that, just as now there are things I want to do, but should've started doing when I was younger, I may not do things that I'm the right age to do, and will later be regretting it.
“Not getting sober sooner.” ........ I’m 21, was a pothead since 15, I finally kicked that habit, thank God I’m not alcohol or any other drug dependent. I love sober me. I don’t want to have any regrets when I’m older.
I am 20 and I have two regrets in life: 1. Not building a more connective relationship with my families. 2. Not giving better attention to my studies and being lost what to do later in life; career related. (I yearn to change things. And maybe a decade later I hope to come back and rewatch this video and this comment of mine)
When your young you dont think school is important, but when your older you wish you cared more. Im 13 and I realized how important random knowledge is
I am 27, my relationship with my family started being worked on age 23, and has only fully formed in the last year. It can take time. You'll get there 💛
I don't think it was a joke. I think that his father was in the hospital, and was dying. He asked for ice cream, so he gave it to him. He wanted more, but the son thought it was a bad idea because it was not good for him, or he didn't want to go the store again. His father than passed away.
That's a pretty random assumption. I'm almost positive it was a joke. In the other video, when they asked his goal in life, he answered; "world domination".
I actually did it and got rejected but knowing I dont have to waste time on them anymore is so relieving that I am more content and happy than before 6/10 would recommend it
"Being afraid of so many things" That's literally me. I'm scared of lot of things I imagined in my head that probably will never happen to anyone in real life.
Not sure if this is a fact, but it helps me, and I'm VERY paranoid: 80% of the things you fear will never happen. Meanwhile the 20% is "almost happens", "I was able to prevent it", or in the end it happenned but not as worse as you thought (and usually helps you)
My only regret is always trying to make my parents proud even tho it makes me not fulfilled with life. I feel like I want their approval but I also want to be free without disappointing them.
Been there done that. Its funny but when you live for yourself you ultimately make your parents happy. It will not happen instantly. It will take years sometimes but it you follow your dreams you will become happy and they will be happy seeing you happy.
I'm 16 now & i regret 4 things in life 1) opportunities I've missed because of my shyness 2) not giving better importance to my studies & always thinking about future 3) not making enough friends to talk with 4) not confessing my love to the girl i used to love the most, she's dead now
oh man 16 is still so young! you have 5 years until you're my age- you'd be surprised how much you can do before you're 21. I had no friends when I was 16 but have made great ones in college. Go after the things that you want! You'll be in great shape when your'e 21, life hasn't even started for me yet.
@@SpongeMixify i am 16 too but I wish I could make more friends in school and i regret i didn't have fun in school this is my last year and only 2-3 months are left of my school life.
Make that move today!!!!!! No more excuses stop letting fear, stagnancy & complacency hold you back. Declare your love, make that apology, take those dance classes, start that new job, move to where your heart desires, spend time w your loved ones, believe in magic, do it allllllll. 🤍
I'm 20. Biggest regret is letting my social life die after highschool. Theres just so many new pressures to deal with in adulthood that it became so easy to let old friendships die off.
I’m 17, and I feel like I’m gonna have so many regrets in my life. There’s things I would love to pursue and people I’d love to go on adventures with, but I don’t know how to push myself because I’m too anxious about everything.
Try to see it like a challenge you have to win and the prize is your happiness. Also try yoga/sport, meditation, therapy. Do not take psychopharmaceuticals.
It is tough, but here is the thing... You can be anxious and still do those things. It's not about whether there is anxiety or not, it's about what you decide to do regardless of it.
At 30 - growing up with the tendency to not ask questions or ask for help, out of fear of looking stupid or bothering people. The amount I don't know what I don't know because of this feels immense.
I highly relate to you even if l'm still young seems like this (Asking for help or doubt) won't fade away with time but yes if you don't ask the answer will always be a big 'NO'
I'm barely past my mid 20s and I know life doesn't end after 75, I remember thinking mid 20s to 30 was OOOOLD and then I got to this age and I'm still feeling like I've got my life ahead of me and anyone younger is REALLY young and got a lot of their lives ahead of them, so I'm willing tp bet when I get to 40 50 60 70 80 I'm still going to keep feeling like I have my life ahead of me it's so weird, I was/I'm trying to rush things so I don't get old before doing them but then I turn a new age and my dreams and achievements aren't less valid.
i am 17 almost 18 now, and the regret that haunts me the most is not spending my last 5 years intensively cultivating my passions: music and art. i have always been aware of my potential, but i struggle to live up to it because of distractions and poor time management. so, i regret not investing in myself at an early age, thus becoming really technically good at my crafts. but lately i'm starting to think that there's a reason behind this: true awareness in our interests and possibilities come naturally at the right time in our lives (and cannot be forced), perhaps i just needed to gain mindfulness, experience and a hit of regret in order to get things going. especially for emotionally-based disciplines, which i'm interested in. and by the way, i'm still very young and i know can go far, if i set my mind to it.
Hey, I just wanted to comment because what you said is incredibly relatable to me. I’m 19 now in my first quarter of university. I used to be very regretful of the years I spent playing Minecraft instead of writing or practicing violin. We only get a few shots at being the best we can ever be and now is the time to do it. I know there are 8 year olds better at violin then me and I could have written multiple books at this point, but there’s still so much time - if we start now.
18 yo here, I feel almost the same, I can't help but feel like I just started my journey, anyways as the other guy said, we are young and we are just entering our prime so let's go.

It seems that younger people regret things they've done and older people regret things they haven't done.
Younger people still have their whole life ahead of them. It's hard to regret something you didn't do when you are only 20. I mean... life just has started for you.

People who didn't go to school regret not going. People who went to school regret not trying harder. People who tried hard regret not enjoying their time. There's always positives and negatives to our choices, best to focus on the positive rather than regret the negative.
Really well said, since some felt no regrets. I can’t relate but every time I do have a “regret” I see it now as more of learning opportunity. After all life is full of regrets and learned lessons that benefit all.
@@isiahmccosh8540 I really don't understand people that say they have no regrets. That means you always treated people fairly and basically lived the life of a saint.
For sure! 🙂
@@danieldavis3035They don’t say they haven’t made mistakes, but that there’s nothing they would change. A regret isn’t simply a mistake, it’s a choice you made in your past that you would change. As that one guy said in the video, he’s made a lot of mistakes, but that got him to where he is now, so he wouldn’t change a thing. Obviously. anyone saying they haven’t made mistakes are being ridiculous, but regrets aren’t necessary for every mistake

I'm 22 and my one regret is waiting. Waiting for a "perfect time" before I do something, anything. Waiting for an opportunity to come by. Waiting for other people to catch up to me. Waiting for a perfect moment to say what I need to say. And many many more. So I guess, if there's any take away it's to just stop waiting. Because yeah good things come to those who wait but remember that greater things come to those who make it happen.
Same man, same. I'm still like this lol.

The biggest regret i have is ever since my dog passed away in 2017, i did not give a final goodbye hug because i had severe OCD at the time. And knowing about the fact that i didn't give a final goodbye hug to my dog that i've really loved, makes me hate the fact that i'm alive. It brings tears to my eyes that i didn't give the last goodbye hug to my dog. I'm a 15yr old boy, and i still cry every time i think about the day my dog died, and that i didn't give a final goodbye hug
@@WillyShanker I know the hug was important to you, but would your dog want you to feel this regret? Can you concentrate on how lucky you are to have had this dog you loved so much? If you loved your dog and treated him or her well, please try to think about that . It is not easy to lose someone you love. Sorry for your pain.
thats because the chance and magnitude of a regret increases more as you age
I really resonate with the 31 year old. I'm 19 now, my biggest regret was watching peers around me get made fun of, excluded, alienated, etc in middle/high school and not doing anything about it. It wasn't my fault that they were bullied but I feel that to an extent I'm also responsible for seeing and allowing it to happen. It breaks my heart thinking about how it may have affected these kids having to come to a place 5 days a week for 7 hours where they don't even feel like they belong. Stand up for people, you never know how much it can mean to someone for even just one person to show that they care.
As a person that was bulied a lot let me say: is not your fault
@@joseluispcr yeah it’s clearly yours. A pushover that never stood up for himself. If you weren’t filled with so much anger and hatred then it wouldn’t have been so hard for you to stand up, you wouldn’t have been bullied in the first place

To be 21 and see this is amazing. I am in my mid 40s, and my mom is in her early 70's She told me she had so many regrets, and she would have married a different person or had done different things career wise. Then asked me if I would do things differently. I told her NOPE...because everything I have done lead me to the life I have. I have a wonderful son, and believe it or not career and relationship decisions had an impact on me meeting my ex who I have my son with. I followed up with also, "Mom, if you married a different man, you would have had me and my brothers"
5-15 - childish things
16-35 - career related regrets

Same for me, my grandfather passed away last year and i had so much things to tell him, if only i could talk to him one last time...
My father passed when i was nine. I regret not asking him about his life for myself and also so i could tell my kids stories he told me. But then again i was only nine. I cant even call him "dad" not only because it is somewhat childish but because it remindes me of him. I function better when i dont think about it. Im 18 now

My Mother died when I was 4. I can't remember her telling me she loved me or if I ever told her. I'm sure she loved me of course and I do remember some small moments and I can remember being able to remember a few more but our time together was so short. I certainly wish I could have known her as an adult and of course I wish she'd been with me my whole life but I don't think that counts as a regret. I couldn't have changed what happened so I can't regret it. 🤷♀️
I do however regret not telling my father how much his actions hurt me and impacted my life, before he died. It may have helped me, it may not have but it's frustrating none the less to know I'll never be able to scream at him and some how make him understand.😕

I don't know how old you are and maybe that doesn't apply to everyone.
But don't try to force yourself to be more social and to do things too hard.
Maybe try to talk to some people in your environment and try to become friends with some. You might have friends and just not go to "fun things". So maybe you want to go with your friends to wherever they are going next time. Not always just try out. Maybe there are fun places you want to be (I don't know, maybe amusement parks, etc, whatever works for you) and you can ask your friends if you want to go together?
If you say it's too hard, maybe you should consider professional help. It's not a shame to get help and it can change your whole life

You have time still to shape who you are. Cherish it. Don't give up on yourself ever.
@@MrX-nc8cm How to get in relationships tho?
@@pedroroque829 its called socializing
@@MrX-nc8cm Thanks btw. I'm 17 and I would live a fking life
I was considering a drastic career change in my late 30s and a friend told me that in the end, you only regret the things you didn't try. I quit my job that week and love my new career.
Biggest regret, broke an amazing girl’s heart
Ouch
Oof
My biggest regret is going with someone who broke my heart
i think i feel the same

51: my second marriage -- that's low key savage tho
i think its more sad than savage.
Melissa McNair in another video he says that the hardest things he went through in his life was his second divorce, which makes his answer in this video even more interesting. I wonder what happened during this marriage.............
maybe its about how it ended
How is that savage?
in the hardest thing video he said his second divorce was the hardest thing...something tells me it's still pretty fresh for him
It says quite a lot that almost everyone one of them started with "not..."
We're more likely to regret inaction.
Deep!
Right!
Life's all about taking risks. That's what makes it beautiful.
This video is a massive wake up call for me about doing what what’s expected of me and making sure I don’t regret not chasing my dreams.
"I regret not...." Almost everyone regrets things they haven't done not the things they did..so think about what you really want to do and in 40 years will you regret not doing it?
Why Asma most true
i guess u are not old enough to realize this but when u are living in the moment, you tend to lose sight on the most important things in life. which is why most of their regrets is not doing something because during that time they are having other problems. by the time they look back then they see the big picture. nobody is that awake to realize the priority in life.
If we do those thing we will regret doing them 'cos we basic
It happens for a reason
I really hope you’re joking, it’s what they regret- not you. I regret many things that i haven’t done, i’ve missed opportunity’s and missed the chance to say goodbye to my loved ones. some people regret not doing their dream job, gotta think.
I really want age 74 to tell me what he knows now... I'm 18 years old and I would really appreciate and listen. You may not be able to tell it to your young self but maybe you can find a young persosn who is really willing to listen, like me!
Literally love talking to older people in like there 70s + there normal so very nice and there normal always willing to talk to a younger person, they make amazing friends too.
read more books especially autobiographies
Same. I'm 15 and I love having deep conversations with older people who reflect on their lives.
Well, many people regret not having done something. When you are older you understand things better, maybe something like. Yeah I would have been more social because it really isnt bad and i should have looked over my fears.
Listen to your parents when they say try your best in school. I'm not old but I'm old enough to look back and regret that. I wish I could have gone to college and enjoy living in a dorm and go to a university.
'Not giving my father more ice cream before he died' UR CRYING, NOT ME
What if he killed him by ice cream 🤔
Grace Platt That was the saddest one, because I could see myself crying over something just like that as a little kid, and its always to stupid infantile stuff that gets me the worst. 😭
Why is that sad
@@reemaalmu9172 you monster its depressing

I'm 27 and I regret not having more empathy for strangers. I used to be a lot kinder when I was younger, and fixing that is going to be a lifelong process.
this makes me sad and makes me think about how fast life is
And I am watching it at 3 am
GREAT.
@@voiceofneha7196 same
Yeah this life is too short to regret and be sad actually ❤
I regret how I dated every person that told me they had feelings for me ignoring the fact that I didn’t even like them back.
It's the opposite for me, I regret never giving a chance to anyone that has had feelings for me and having spent a lot of years waiting to feel something I don't know if I'm capable of feeling. It gets really lonely sometimes :(
Relatable
Ugh...it feels horrible to be single! All your friends get boyfriends! And they hang out with them and then your all alone. I wish i had a boyfriend
Relatable
Hey hey hey, lower your voice please.
I'm 42, and the one about not knowing how wonderful I was when I was younger really hit me. I think if I regret anything, it's spending so much time worrying about what other people think of me.
i'm 39 i still worry,and that's probably part of being a highly sensitive person. it does get a little better with age but not where i hoped it would be. I'm a young soul in an aging body and sometimes that's really hard to acknowledge
Same..
@@jimskeuh i feel you man...
I didnt go through life like this. I didnt really care what people thought of me. I actually cared more of what I thought of myself. I Was my own biggest critic. Elwin, if you dont mind me asking. What are some examples of things you worried about what others thought of you?
@@Mercenary-1914personally. I don’t like being looked at or noticed. I avoid presentations, avoid crowded areas, avoid letting my presence be know, all that stuff. I understand no one truly cares about me, but I can’t help it. I’m sure I’ll regret not enjoying my time more, but it’s difficult to, I’ve shoved myself in this box early on and didn’t pull myself out to enjoy the life that would soon flourish as life would continue. Now man I have a question, why are you so loose and carefree to others opinions ?
I am 27 and I regret letting things go/giving things up too easily such as relationships and goals. I didn’t realize how easy it was to convince myself that it's not meant to be or I gave enough try and then let go of it.
Now that I look back, I didn’t try hard enough.
Trust me. You still got alot of years ahead. I'm over 40, and i feel the same way. Had i done more when i was 27, etc. At least you are able to be aware of it now.

Noticed how most of them starts with “not doing...”. This just shows that you’ll regret not doing something than doing and failing it. Just go for it, whatever it is. Do it!!
Yeah!! That's true dear. Trying and failing is better than not trying at all. Been positive and lucrative is the best mentality ever.
Easy to say 🙂
Thanks to reading your comment three month ago, i finally picked myself up and decided to take drugs. I regret when I'm not high, but I'm riding the wave baby 🌊🌊🌊
Jk just saying some things don't deserve doing.
I honestly needed this motivation thank you 🙏🏼
As a 20 year old, I have a vicious cycle, in which I constantly regret not doing certain things earlier even though I'm aware that my life is barely starting and I still have a lot of time to do plenty of things. I just have this belief that there's a stage in life for everything, and I feel frightened that, just as now there are things I want to do, but should've started doing when I was younger, I may not do things that I'm the right age to do, and will later be regretting it.
same me
“Not getting sober sooner.” ........ I’m 21, was a pothead since 15, I finally kicked that habit, thank God I’m not alcohol or any other drug dependent. I love sober me. I don’t want to have any regrets when I’m older.
Thank you very much ❤️, Hero

That’s wonderful! Congratulations! Sobriety is a gift.💖
I am 20 and I have two regrets in life:
1. Not building a more connective relationship with my families.
2. Not giving better attention to my studies and being lost what to do later in life; career related.
(I yearn to change things. And maybe a decade later I hope to come back and rewatch this video and this comment of mine)
Hoping to see you with your update a few years later, trust the process, the day will come
When your young you dont think school is important, but when your older you wish you cared more.
Im 13 and I realized how important random knowledge is
Ya I think you still have chance to change things. All the best!
I am 27, my relationship with my family started being worked on age 23, and has only fully formed in the last year. It can take time. You'll get there 💛
The second thing it's not your fault , because school should have taught you that
I was chill all the time but the one with "not giving my dad more ice-cream before he died" broke my heart and i started crying 😢
(54, 3:21)
it was a joke though...
I don't think it was a joke. I think that his father was in the hospital, and was dying. He asked for ice cream, so he gave it to him. He wanted more, but the son thought it was a bad idea because it was not good for him, or he didn't want to go the store again. His father than passed away.
That's a pretty random assumption. I'm almost positive it was a joke.
In the other video, when they asked his goal in life, he answered; "world domination".
No, it's not. There is no man on Earth who would joke about his father's death.
+shinyam75 You'd be surprised..
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how elegant and youthful the seniors in this video are?!
Yeah you are right !
To future self: Ask your crush out soon, they may have also liked you all those years
did you do it?
(back me up guys let them push a little themselves)
You can also do it...or atleast go tell them about it...if it's impossible for you guys to be together now
I actually did it and got rejected but knowing I dont have to waste time on them anymore is so relieving that I am more content and happy than before
6/10 would recommend it
What if it’s my teacher
Kinda got a crush on this girl I think shes got a harder crush for me I’m just hoping thats true.
"Being afraid of so many things"
That's literally me. I'm scared of lot of things I imagined in my head that probably will never happen to anyone in real life.
same
Not sure if this is a fact, but it helps me, and I'm VERY paranoid:
80% of the things you fear will never happen. Meanwhile the 20% is "almost happens", "I was able to prevent it", or in the end it happenned but not as worse as you thought (and usually helps you)
Same
Well just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
Ive learned most risks have been worth it for me, if I listened to my gut
My only regret is always trying to make my parents proud even tho it makes me not fulfilled with life. I feel like I want their approval but I also want to be free without disappointing them.
How ur thoughts match mine 🤭
Same here
Live for yourself, they have their own lives.
Learning to be self-reliant and than I can be free.
Been there done that. Its funny but when you live for yourself you ultimately make your parents happy. It will not happen instantly. It will take years sometimes but it you follow your dreams you will become happy and they will be happy seeing you happy.
“I wish I knew when I was younger how wonderful I was” this. This hit deep and I’m just 17 years old
I'm 16 now & i regret 4 things in life
1) opportunities I've missed because of my shyness
2) not giving better importance to my studies & always thinking about future
3) not making enough friends to talk with
4) not confessing my love to the girl i used to love the most, she's dead now
@@Finnfreya1 yes but IF she isn't aware of the suitability of those decisions she is willing to take, she will waste those 7 decades.
You still have chance to make your life so great!! Keep going!
oh man 16 is still so young! you have 5 years until you're my age- you'd be surprised how much you can do before you're 21. I had no friends when I was 16 but have made great ones in college. Go after the things that you want! You'll be in great shape when your'e 21, life hasn't even started for me yet.
Man, 16 is so young. Just make sure to keep a good growth mindset and make good use of your early 20s. Im 19, for context

I'm 20. Biggest regret is letting my social life die after highschool. Theres just so many new pressures to deal with in adulthood that it became so easy to let old friendships die off.
"Having not appreciated that I was young when I was younger." Makes me think, as a 20yo.
So true, what one thing would you do if you were 20 again?
but how do you appreciate being young?
That’s a wonderful perspective 🌱🙏🏻
I’m 17, and I feel like I’m gonna have so many regrets in my life. There’s things I would love to pursue and people I’d love to go on adventures with, but I don’t know how to push myself because I’m too anxious about everything.
Think wisely bruh...I wish I all the best 👍
Try to see it like a challenge you have to win and the prize is your happiness. Also try yoga/sport, meditation, therapy. Do not take psychopharmaceuticals.
It is tough, but here is the thing... You can be anxious and still do those things. It's not about whether there is anxiety or not, it's about what you decide to do regardless of it.

Lmao same. Too focused in 1 thing then forgot everything else. It's my biggest regret after graduating highschool
Yope me too but the thing is i'm still doing it. It's hopefully gonna change soon cuz I'm starting at a new school soon just need to get THE ONE !
I didn’t take it seriously enough. Luckily i turned that into a military career 😂 Sometimes it’s for the best.
Can you help me out please. What do you mean when you say you took yourself too seriously?
At 30 - growing up with the tendency to not ask questions or ask for help, out of fear of looking stupid or bothering people. The amount I don't know what I don't know because of this feels immense.
I highly relate to you even if l'm still young seems like this (Asking for help or doubt) won't fade away with time but yes if you don't ask the answer will always be a big 'NO'
"that I didnt get sober sooner"
i died. that was so sad.

" being afraid of so many things When I was younger" I felt that. I don't want to regret that when I get older.

Cool video. I wish that they had continued with adults over 75 years old. Life goals don't have to end when we are 75.
I'm barely past my mid 20s and I know life doesn't end after 75, I remember thinking mid 20s to 30 was OOOOLD and then I got to this age and I'm still feeling like I've got my life ahead of me and anyone younger is REALLY young and got a lot of their lives ahead of them, so I'm willing tp bet when I get to 40 50 60 70 80 I'm still going to keep feeling like I have my life ahead of me it's so weird, I was/I'm trying to rush things so I don't get old before doing them but then I turn a new age and my dreams and achievements aren't less valid.
Most of them regret 2 things:
- Not loving others enough
- Not loving themselves enough.

I don't love myself because a devil controls me and I cannot set me free
@@robertoh3633?
Not loving.
i am 17 almost 18 now, and the regret that haunts me the most is not spending my last 5 years intensively cultivating my passions: music and art.
i have always been aware of my potential, but i struggle to live up to it because of distractions and poor time management.
so, i regret not investing in myself at an early age, thus becoming really technically good at my crafts.
but lately i'm starting to think that there's a reason behind this: true awareness in our interests and possibilities come naturally at the right time in our lives (and cannot be forced), perhaps i just needed to gain mindfulness, experience and a hit of regret in order to get things going. especially for emotionally-based disciplines, which i'm interested in.
and by the way, i'm still very young and i know can go far, if i set my mind to it.
Hey, I just wanted to comment because what you said is incredibly relatable to me. I’m 19 now in my first quarter of university. I used to be very regretful of the years I spent playing Minecraft instead of writing or practicing violin. We only get a few shots at being the best we can ever be and now is the time to do it. I know there are 8 year olds better at violin then me and I could have written multiple books at this point, but there’s still so much time - if we start now.
I believe in u
You’re still young. You can still make up for lost time.
18 yo here, I feel almost the same, I can't help but feel like I just started my journey, anyways as the other guy said, we are young and we are just entering our prime so let's go.
I relate to your feeling. I am
dealing with the same situation.
