Stress eating, “eating my feelings”. Wish I could address my stress and anxiety better, and stop normalizing food as stress reduction.

Going to a huge 4-year uni instead of a CC. Costs were nuts and the teaching was impersonal

Not speaking my real feeling because it can sound harsh. It always ended up with me being hurt cause I’m too sensitive. Boy, how great my life would be if I can speak it up.

When I bought my home, I put my husband on the deed even though the mortgage was in my name and my parents had given me the downpayment. He tried to get half when we divorced, but I reminded him that I paid off his student loans with my inheritance and he shut right up. I miss that house.

Not caring about high school, I had no GPA in 11th grade. Still doing well in life but if I would have applied even anything back then who knows.

Started "dating" too soon. It set the unstable pace for the rest of my emotional life. And led to worse decisions.

Looked for happiness and left a high paying job to do things I wanted to do like travel, write and what not. Now I am in a role that is not just annoyingly demanding but comparatively low paying.

50 years ago, I could have bought cakes of Red Seal pu’er tea in Hong Kong for about two bucks a cake. They had piles of them. Now one is worth about $300,000.

Using the key once on my math homework. Now every time I can't complete it easily I get frustrated, remember how easy copying the key is, and copy it. I can not stop it's insane

Staying with my family. My parents divorced and I stayed with mum, she overworked herself to the point where she had to retire early due to mental breakdown. Now she has crappy pension and (in her opinion) has to take care of Granny that can no longer walk. Since I started working along with attending Uni, I became far more straightforward and clearly say that I don't agree with that. She is exhausted and all she does is complain to me in the evening about everything at granny's. I love my family, they gave me and my brother what they could with the little we always had, but it's a while that I started to notice just how toxic this family actually is. Every little thing will either be ignored or start a both sided yelling fit, there is no room for healthy discussions, every time I wanted to raise a valid argument over something, it's ignored or I'm point blank told that someone like me (a stupid student that can't hold a job, I work with people, not really possible nowadays) should just shut up and leave if I don't like something and in the next breath they start to discuss when will we do the transfer of ownership of Granny's apartment (another issue altogether). I just can't, I'm exhausted, every little thing that happens at our place becomes my fault although I warned them it could happen. I just wish everything will be open again so I can at the very least escape to my job...

I said my opinion on a character's sexuality in an anime because I think he's Bisexual (not proven and I even say that but it is a huge theory) and I started an entire war on a YouTube video with one comment that said "There is no way this character is straight"
