My biggest regret in life is giving in to my autism despite knowing better. They say you should have no regrets in life but obviously people do. What is yours?
 
Perhaps my biggest regret is I have been too ignorant in some phases in my earlier life, doing my own thing instead of realizing what kind of opportunities I had
I fixed this by putting more thought into why I am doing things, and what purpose or goal I am seeking in doing things
Although, I can excuse these regrets by me being young and talking about shit like school
Of course, in hindsight, I can point out the many many opportunities I failed to identify and exploit
My solution for now is to deliberately thing about "what do I want to achieve here, what is my goal, what kind of opportunities are there"

Are you trying to make people TMI on purpose?

I can't make anyone do anything they aren't predisposed to doing already, and one can discuss the subject without revealing identifying information. Don't post if you can't control yourself without revealing personal information.

Sounds like you had a case of TMI on KF once before tbh.
 
I didn’t do things because I thought I might fail and I couldn’t fail. This led to me not taking chances at opportunities that would in hindsight have changed my life, and which I probably wouldn’t have failed at at all.
I am trying to teach my children that it’s better to try and fail than not try, and i am still trying to ‘get’ the lesson truly, rather than just parroting it

To build on that I find certain irl interactions elicit anxiety that make me disengage or obfuscate what I really want to say which can lead to misunderstanding, and failure as well. The anxiety can become overwhelming and while I do regret not dealing with it I'm just not ready right now. My life is pretty stable though and I want to keep it that way, and I'll have plenty of time to work on it later.
