Changes you would make to your past.

Was just pondering while outside having a smoke, if you could revert time somehow, what changes would you make in your life.

I forsee numerous replies of "Nothing at all", frankly I consider that a lie, there is always something...

Me, the big two would be, never begin smoking, and not get sucked into gaming.
 
I am very happy with where I am now, so it would depend if changing something in the past had an affect on the present.

If not - I'd go back and do a few things, of which I wouldn't post the main ones here
If so - nothing :)
 
Wish I'd been more confident with the ladies when I was between 15 and 20 years of age.

How much I missed out on .. with my incredibly daft lack of daring to even talk to the creatures ... :/


(Also - would have stopped my dad smoking whatever it took, before he croaked it :/ )
 
:D

Depends on how happy/content you are with your life now. Because what has happened in your life previously will have made you the person you are now. To regret the past means you regret the present.

That being said I wish I had kept better care of my teeth :D
 
I'd like to say made more of an effort at school and college and possibly gone to Uni. But if I was to change that I wouldn't be the person I am today. I wouldn't of done or seen any of what I have.

I wouldn't change a thing.
 
Too many things to list I suspect. Probably shouldn't have gone to uni either of 2 times and should have just looked for better work while I at least had some work. Going back further, it was a shame my first job interview was for a company I really wanted to work for and because it was my first interview I missed out, so I guess I wish I had taken more interview practise somehow.

But yes, unlike many posts, I DEFINITELY would have changed things, lots of things.
 
Quite a few years after school I met this girl who was in my maths class at school. She was pretty then but as a woman she was a Grade A. Anyway she gave all the signs but alas I wasn't that confident around women during that time.

I'd rewind time and lay waste to her lady garden.
 
I wish I knew what I wanted to do when I was in free education with a good few years to work on it. Knowing what I now know then I would go back and focus on school a lot more and pick something specific to work towards.
 
Just one. I would have stayed at my 'proper old skool ;)' middle school and passed my 12 Plus, rather than being all adventurous and changing schools in my final year, when my family moved.

The school I ended up at was a right on wishy-washy place and I failed my 12 plus (just). My education never went anywhere after that. I had the choice, and made the wrong one.

Of course, there are many, many other things in life after that which I'd like to change. Yet, going back and changing that first thing would have set me on a different course, and to be honest, it would have been a damn sight more interesting than the one I ended up on... :(

Right, I need to find a thread to troll. :D
 
Mainly a couple of nights out over the years where I had gotten a touch to intoxicated (I know, unthinkable!) and as a direct result missed out on some potentially stellar intimate encounters...

The night I brought three fresher ladies who kept saying they were "well up for it" back and then watched them leave as I proceeded to vomit copious amounts of booze sticks in the mind like a splinter...
 
Probably avoid all the fights I had where I hurt people badly during school. I convince myself I was just sticking up for myself, but really I was just angry all the time.

Another would be to have stayed friends with the friends I had during college etc, we're not too close now.
