If you could go back in time...

[golden_buns]

would there be anything you'd like to change in your life?

[angelwiththesword]

i like my life the way it is.

[golden_buns]

I think I'd change everything I did during the past 2 years

[BeTheReds]

I'd go back in time and gamble on sports!

[Elizabeth A.]

If I could go back in time I'd go back to the Roaring Twenties and be a flapper!


But that's not what you meant, was it? In which case I wouldn't change anything.

[golden_buns]

So none of you have any regrets?

[TyroneK(prettypretty)]

I'd change the past couple of years too.

And tell my old self not to spend so much time online.

[ChinaLama]

i always think i would change this or that if i did it again, but...most likely, i wouldn't. :(

Oh, I've had regrets. Plenty of them. But they've helped me become who I am, so I wouldn't go back and change them even if I could.

But what if you don't like the person you've become?

[Xishi]

Undo them..? No...
Do them again...? Cow No...

Hell yeah I'd go back to my 5-year-old self and teach myself how to be more.....i don't know the right word, likable, socialble? Well, whatever. I have plenty of regrets, quite frankly, I'd love to change them.

[thaite]

I'm with BeTheReds.

If you know you are not the person you want to be, hasn't your past experience taught you that? If you mean change an experience in the past that will accellerate shaping yourself into what you want to be, how would you know how that event would really affect you? Every event is shaped by the previous, and the chain reaction an experience creates is uncertain. What is certain is who you are now, and anyone can change from then on.

[purezero]

Hmm... two things. 1) I can't really say. 2) Telling my ex-friend the truth earlier on and not led him on.

[mr. x]

id tell myself to excersise more and eat less, and tell my parents to buy ebay stock (i actaully did kinda)

[AltimaGTR]

I'd go back in time and tell my old self to study more... but I think my old self would ignore me :cry:

[tvbdude]

fight back at all those racists classmates that be harassing me. slapping the back of my head, putting gum in my hair, etc

[purezero]

Oh, I thought of something else just now. I'd goto my Junior Prom. :cry:

[SunWuKong]

i'd go back to that club i went to a few weeks ago and take that girl home and bang her!

[Napoleon Chynamite]

I'd go back to right before I had the best meal of my life, and then after I was done, I'd go back to that same place in time again and again (provided that I would be hungry once again too after going back each time).

[Adaon]

lotta regrets that changed who I am.....so if I did that I'd change who I am now......so I'm not sure.....if I knew the whole outcome, maybe I would....but in the meantime.....no thanks

a corollary to this would be to go back right before u have the best sex of your life. and keep doin it and doin it and doin it and ...

[Fireblade]

i would study more, and be a better student in general. and maybe recognize that i had waaaaay more chances to get with chicks, then i once previously thought.

Yeah ditto

[Azn Retribution]

Id like to be 14 but know everything I know now... yes.

[kayla]

Start high school over so i can
run for class president
do more community service work
not take physics
take the initiative to ask this guy out. he always "gave me the chance" to talk to him or approach him but never intigated any of the conversations. and i had too much pride to ask him out. but i think i somewhat regret.

study more
Be nicer to my mom cuz I was, or maybe still am, such a bitch to my mom sometimes.
Better skin care and better diet.

I regret the last two the most. This is an evil thread. EVIL!

you've un-masked me :HH:

[Saiko]

Regrets are silly. I have none. Everything that happened to me, no matter how shitastic they were, shaped me.

[Iconoclastic]

I would go back to the point in time before Saiko said shitastic and use it so I can say I was the first one to use it here.

If you went back in time to change something, would your future self know to go back in time to change that thing?

Anyway, I'm really looking at this as:

1) you did something with consequences you do not like
2) you know that doing that thing is a Bad Thing
3) if you undo that something, you no longer know that is a Bad Thing and may do it in the future

Isn't it better to know earlier?

[mr. x]

id tell myself not to those bacon/cheese fries for lunch

[teaz0r]

i'd buy that prada coat when it was still on sale.
