30 Regretful Decisions Shared By The Bored Panda Community

lemme try to help. if you need to do something, start it now so you wont have to later. dont overwork yourself, you can take 5-10 minute breaks if youve done a good amount of work. if you want, get a lil candy to reward yourself :)

here's another tip: if you have one large task, break it into smaller tasks. that way it's easier to ignore

i love procrastinating! It’s so fun! Especially the part where you don’t to work!

PROCRASTINATE NOW

I have a book on procrastination but I haven't read it yet, maybe later.

Understandable. Looking for a job is one of the suckiest activities a person can engage in.

The only thing worse than having a job is looking for one.

Looking for a job while you have a job is the best time to look. Far less stress. Been laid off before. 2 days before Christmas too. Not fun times to look for work.

And suddenly, one day, I woke up and my fear and hurt from staying were greater than that of staying, thus I quit, joined a great team I had had my eyes on for a while, and feeling much better

Same. Once l finally left (after 7yrs) and the other time l got laid off (after 13 yrs). It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I have a good job and l met my husband here.

"go back in time and hugged them"*, sorry for the typos

Yes I love my relatives but they live in India and I live in the uk

Not just hugging them, but to spend some quality time with them. I am so glad that I decided to take the time to spend quality time with my grandparents. My parents always said that they won't be here forever ( at the time when I was young, you feel like they will) and you should spend as much time with them as possible. I did hear them but didn't take it to heart until I was a bit older. So I spent as much time with them as I could and I'm so glad that I did. This past Sep, my last grand parent past away ( mind you, this grandparent was my favorite grandparent btw) and I wish I even spent more time with all of them even more than I did.

Seems like more of a big mistake than a small one. As is tradition.

This hits me in heart

Try searching up some refusal skills. They help quite a lot. If you don't want to search 'em up, here are the refusal skills. 1. Say "No" in a strong voice but calmly 2. Just leave the situation 3. Suggest another idea 4. Try changing the subject

"No" is a complete sentence.

Ugh I'm guilty of this one...especially with my mother...I can't seem to say no to her even when I'd rather eat glass then do what she's asking me to do...you see, I'm an only child and really she has only me...I'm so not an extrovert and she's a big one...I absolutely do not want to walk around an extremely crowded shopping mall but I end up doing it anyway because she wants to go but not by herself or with my stepdad (he gets annoyed with her when they shop because she's so slow has to look at everything according to him) :/

I have the same problem. I end up doing things I don’t wanna do or wearing things I don’t wanna wear Bc in trying to keep everyone happy so I don’t say no.

same right now I am supposed to be in school

I disliked school from the 5th grade onward. I had teachers who had pets, and as far as the rest of us, she was basically happy if we were just quiet. BUT, I wish now that I had worked anyhow.

At first I read that as “alcohol” & was super confused.

‘I could uh been somebody.’ I was bright, but socially awkward. Scared. Did very poorly in school.

Same here. I did ok, but could have worked a lot harder.

Me too... sigh...

Happens to us all!! We're all just trying our best. Don't be so hard on yourself!!

My sister got diagnosed as an adult with adhd. She struggled with anxiety and over eating for decades and adhd meds have helped with both.

I don't see the problem here food is yummers but a good tip to lose weight is to climb a mountain in order to get food, that way u procrastinate and get so anxious that u lose weight and also realise this was all a dream and I didn't get enough sleep last night

I used to di this, all of the time, I was wearing a 3xL. I couldn't stay away from McDonald's, or Wendy's, and I would run to Dairy Delight for milkshakes, on a whim. Junk food, all of the time... Then one day, at the doctor's office, he exclaimed; you're glucose level is high, you have to start taking diabetes med, Metformin. I did, and decided the weight has got to go! I was weighing in at 220. I stopped all the trips to fast food, and ended constant milkshakes. I picked up this little trick ( believe it or not from Dr. Oz!), Pick a day, and use it as your Faturday! You go all week without eating your favorite fattening food, and on this day you eat a little of a few of them. I also started reading up on how unhealthy the things I was eating are, and what they did to my heart. I went down to 167, no longer take metformin. I'm 57, and I only take 3 meds a day: for arthritis, heart burn, and to sleep. I can hardly eat sugary foods now either... It wasn't easy, but it can be done.

Join the club girl.

I hear ya. I believe most people are good and honest. But some how, I find the ones who just take advantage of my charitable disposition.

This!

Been there done that, got the tee-shirt and lost $40,000 because "she loved me" I'm just stupid stupid stupid.

Im sorry for your experience, but I'm really glad that someone out there can understand me. I'm going through a lot right now and nobody understands me. It's hard, really had. And ther is nobody, literally nobody I can talk to. It's feels like I'm drowning

Be there too. Married a Chinese woman, had a child with her and after she got her Green Card she ran off to be with a younger man, with more money and no kids. But that's ok. I kept our daughter and am raising her by myself. Best thing to happen to me is her. Anyway stay strong it gets better.

As a child of two people that no longer want to be married to each other I strongly advise you to just end it. Pulling through it might help in some cases but in most cases it just harms everybody that is somehow involved in this relationship. You deserve happiness so don't torture yourself!

Try doing that 3 times. Now I'm 65, alone, thrice-divorced... damned poor judgement.

This is hard, but life is short and it seems like you know the right steps to make yourself happy!

Bwahahahahaha😂😂😂

Awww my son. To become one with the fart you must learn the ways of Mexican Food and Taco Bell. Go in peace my child.
