    Not fighting harder to buy a house when it was cheap. My SO hated the idea soo much. Now still living in same place I cant do jack to. And 10 years we won’t have a home thanks to my grandma’s stupidity and pride.

    Sometimes I wonder if i chose the wrong person. I love my SO but our life goals are as different as can be. Took 15 years to convince to my side.

        I have taken long breaks in my education (a pretty good one) due to being lazy depressed (being depressed but not sad per se, having executive dysfunction).

        My friends have moved on from college and I am stuck. It always feels that my problems were not as important or as big to waste years of my life.

        I have accepted the fact that it is my life and it is not a race but sometimes I do feel that it would have been much simpler and better if I had just completed my education while being miserable because I was miserable anyways.

        I am kind of rambling because I don’t think such a deep and vast topic can be explained in a comment.

    Not living up to my own potential. I’ve led a pretty uneventful life with few, if any, accolades. I know that I actually have the capacity to be excellent in certain regards, but I can’t seem to force myself to actually put in the work. Doesn’t help that I’ve been called lazy my entire life. Some therapists seem to think a “fear of success” is part of the pathology but I don’t agree. I’ve been extremely intimate with failure my entire life, success is like the one thing I’ve never had and am craving daily.

    Trusting that my guidance counselors would do their job. Not switching high schools because they didn’t look very different.

    My school refused to let me in more difficult classes I thought I needed for college even though I requested them, was recommended them by my grade school and even tested into them. I only found out recently that I test advance proficient, but they lied to me about when I was a student.

    All because when I was in kindergarten, someone decided I had a reading disability.
