The human mind is a strange thing, especially when it comes to our desires. They can arise completely spontaneously, occupying all our time - and then, when we finally achieve what we wanted, it suddenly turns out that the main joy was not so much from possession, but actually from the desire to possess.

So it turns out that over the years of our life, we ​​have collected a whole lot of various things that once seemed absolutely necessary, and now we don’t even have a clue what to do with them. It's really like a suitcase without a handle - so hard to carry, such a shame to throw away. Yes, these are mind games, there's no denying it.

There is a popular thread on Reddit where people talk about different things they once thought they wanted, but really regretted afterwards. More than 12.7K upvotes and almost 8.4K comments suggest this topic is very close to people.

Bored Panda has compiled a curated list with the most popular and really ingenious things from this discussion. We strongly suppose you'll be interested in reading and watching - and, perhaps, will also have something to share.

30 Things That People Thought They Wanted So Much, Yet Regretted After Finally Getting, As Shared In This Online Group A backyard pool.

I always wanted one until I had one.
It was a huge pain in the a**. Had to buy chemicals, had to test the water, had to clean it, found dead snakes in the skimmer baskets, had to get the pump replaced, etc.

I agree with what several commenters have said. If you can afford to have someone do the work for you then it's something really nice to have. If you can afford the mortgage on the house with the pool but still mow your own lawn, clean your own house, etc. The pool is likely to be more trouble than it's worth.

As a child I couldn't wait to grow up. As a working adult, I couldn't wait to retire and I'm finding it isn't what I had hoped. It is easy to focus on the what you will gain in the next phase of your life, but you don't realize what you will lose. Just enjoy the good things in each day.

Anyone in the US that reads this. Very few professions care about what school you went to. Or even physical locations. The few I can think of are doctors, hyper specific job that are also based at MIT, ect. For everything else. Get your generals done through a community college. History and math 101 are the same there as they are at Harvard only way cheaper. Do as much online as possible. And if you are still in highschool. See what programs/classes your school offers that will count as college credits. If you stack your classes right you could walk out of HS with an associates degree. Also also, once you start the Bachelor's degree things at least get funner. They are classes you care about. Because they are in the field you are interested in.

30 Things That People Thought They Wanted So Much, Yet Regretted After Finally Getting, As Shared In This Online Group A business. Supposedly my dream job….but I haaaate it.

Yes, I own a bakery that I’ve run for 13 years. It’s successful, always paid its bills….but it’s definitely zapped the joy out of a hobby. Anyone that has worked with the public knows it’s taxing. I’ve lost the creative aspect and just feel like a slave to it honestly. Bakery hours can be rough, so maybe it’s the lack of sleep catching up to me, lol. I just know that I was already feeling burned out, but now with the insane increase to costs of supplies - and the unpredictability of finding certain things altogether, I’ve decided this will be my last year in business.

This is sad. I wonder if finding a different way to structure the business would be better. Such as making products upon order. So you have a menu of a few products that can be made with a more limited ingredients list and get customers to place a order for that product to be made and ready for pick up. That way ready-made products aren't going to waste. I always wonder how much of the products I see in bakeries get sold.

I can't understand this attitude. I, unfortunately was forced into disability myself. My culinary career was my entire life. I would get up in the morning, dress and head off to work. I would spent the entire day, often until late at night there, go home, shower, go to bed and wake the next morning to gladly start it all over again. This was my way of life and I adored it. My health improved a bit, so I began volunteering in one of the local kitchens cooking for the homeless. Last summer alone I put in over 100 hours for them and others and was happy as a clam again. Things have taken a bit of a downturn again, but I still look for ways to help.

30 Things That People Thought They Wanted So Much, Yet Regretted After Finally Getting, As Shared In This Online Group A friend-with-benefits. I thought it would be fun and effortless but definitely not. He told me sweet things in the beginning saying he could see it being more, I fell for it quickly like an amateur


Then we had sex. Afterwards he’s playing hot and cold and my feelings are on a roller coaster of “what is happening??” Says he just wants to be strictly fwb and not pursue anything more but is still interested in me. *Then* he says he’s not interested in being friends anymore either. Maybe I was too clingy after the initial sweet words, maybe he wasn’t ever truly interested in anything but a one night thing but either way my head was spinning. I have never doubted myself more. I just wish he would have been more decisive on what he wanted.


Wonderful guy, wish nothing but the best for him but whew, hell of a week. No more fwb for me lmaoo.

I've had two friendships that included benefits. They were both great. But it is a decision that must be agreed to by both people. And it must be totally understood that the relationship will not grow to anything more than a friendship. Don't participate if your friend is someone with whom you think you might fall in love. And don't become jealous if your friend has sex with another. The key is to remember that you're friends, nothing more. Friendships are often longer lasting and more important than "romantic" relationships. Keep that in mind if you think you may want to have a friend with benefits. Because if it doesn't work, you may lose a valuable partnership that you'll regret for years.

I had several fwb and the first rhing I've said is "not interested in a deeper relationship in any shape or form, tou are not my consolation prize until 'the one' appears." So far is been good, treat people with respect and don't lie for sex. Don't make promises you would not fulfill.

I've had several "casual relationships" over the years. I wished them well when they found "the love of their life" and held their broken heart when it wasn't. When I found my "one love" that was it, I was done, as was he. They had all helped make me into the person that he fell in love with.

This doesn't sound like fwb. This sounds like she wanted something more and he didn't. Fwb could be awesome as long as no romantic feelings are involved (it usually end up being messy). I had one awesome fwb once, had great sex as we could talk about what we genuinely liked with no feelings in the way. Just don't expect all that extra romantic "fluff". That is for partners.

I came very close to having one of these with a guy in my 20's. He was one of my best friends.. I was very platonically in love with him but I chickened out the last minute because I knew things would never be the same with us. He ended up meeting a girl who was extremely jealous of our close friendship and he was forbidden from hanging out with me anymore. That hurt me enough..I can't imagine how much worse it would"ve felt if had slept with him.

I had a FWB for a couple of years but it was sort of like this incident. While I was separated, I met my FWB and fell in love with him, too. He was ALWAYS upfront about his feelings for me (he cared deeply but was not in love) but let me know it was because his wife had cheated on him while he was in Afghanistan. He turned out to be the love of my life and leaving him was unimaginably painful, but we agreed to move on. I still think of him and hope he's ok. He has pretty bad PTSD. He moved to FL. I still love him and always will.

You can be friends with & sexually attracted to someone without wanting to date them. As long as both people are on the same page this can be a great thing. Not everyone wants to be celibate between relationships. Some people are ok with one night stands but some people aren't comfortable with that. "Friends with benefits" is great for people who aren't comfortable hooking up with strangers.

I've had FWB situations that lasted for years and were fine because neither one of us did that c**p. There wasn't the sweet, romantic talk, we someone's would go out to dinner or see a movie, but it was as friends. There was no expectation that it would turn into more. Unfortunately, men seem to think they HAVE to say the romantic stuff and lead women on in order to get sex, when in reality, a lot of women would be fine with FWB so long as they don't do all of that!

FwB is a kind of relationship- you can't deny that. And in each relationship you have to communicate your needs clearly Had some guys just wanted occassionaly pure sex dates- more the benefits than the Friends and some that wanted more the friends than the benefits-just didn't worked out. But I really found a few guys and girls too that got in a deeply connected friendship and benefits worked out fantastic too One of them got married now with a good friend of mine and I just love it to watch them grow and glow together

He's not a wonderful guy. He's a jerk that fed you a line, used you until he got bored, then left. There are some people who can do FWB but not many. In the true sense of the phrase, it's agreed on & understood by both parties that neither of us want more than a friendship but we are sexually attracted to one another & enjoy a romp together now & then. Nothing more.

30 Things That People Thought They Wanted So Much, Yet Regretted After Finally Getting, As Shared In This Online Group To live near family, instead of moving somewhere better. We haven't had two nice days in a row since October here. It is always raining, snowing, cold enough to kill you, incredibly windy, or just unpleasant out because of the resulting days before it. (Upstate NY near the Canada border.) Everywhere has issues, but damn, I just want to be outside in 70 degrees without taking a vacation.

I still have mine! I only ever had one disk that played 2 episodes of spongebob, but I watched those two episodes like 10 times a day as a child. I randomly find it sometimes and it surprisingly still works great
