Not me, i was a broke high school student
You miss every shot you don't take.
Arm yourself today! 2A is for everyone.
The other day I saw some dude throw his cigarette on the ground before getting on line in front me to get carded to enter a bar. For a long moment I considered picking it up and going "hey, you dropped this" and handing it back to him.
But I didn't, because there's no way that ends happily.
But man, fuck people who litter.
Gently place it in his back pocket.
Can confirm that this is not true at allllllllll
Meh. Do I regret some of my inactions? Hell, I do. Do I regret some of my awful moves/decisions 400% more? I fucking do. The amount of cringeworthy brain cramps I get for just thinking of them for a split second make me wish they were just another one of my regretful inactions, instead.
I once heard cringing at your past self is a sign of personal growth!
Thanks, I must be a titan then.
one must imagine Sisyphus happy
Maybe the first time for a particular instance. The 100th time it's just depression with visuals.
It’s only depression if it comes from the depression region in France. Otherwise is just sparkling self loathing
Which is true.
Unless you are cringing at yourself from yesterday. Then you might still be cringe at present.
Fuck that, I look forward to the inaction. I only do shit to facilitate not doing shit later!
This guy shits
But not till later
My greatest regrets are all actions that ended up hurting someone. Even the inactions I regret most are related to not preventing pain which I had the power to do something about.
I think this post is talking about a different kind of regret or comes from someone with very different life experience than me.
Yeah same, the things that haunt me are the things that hurt other people. That's not to say fomo isn't real, but it isn't what keeps me up at night.
Selection bias. You don't spend any time thinking about the occasions when inaction was the right choice, because they seem unremarkable from everyday events.
Not the claim though. It's about the inactions you do notice and supposedly will regret the most, compared to actions you regret taking.
I don't really agree with the post, but your comment has nothing to do with the statement…
Oh, I disagree.
You regret the inactions that you think about, because you think about them, specifically as instances where you failed to act and that led to unfortunate consequences.
Disregarding the good outcomes of inaction is very relevant, because when you are mired in that regret it is the inaction that you are thinking of as being the failure, rather than the circumstances surrounding that situation. This leads you to the mistaken conclusion that inaction itself is the problem.
As it's been said, "It is possible to commit no mistakes, and still lose. That is not a weakness, that is life."
Like 30+ years of not thinking about it for a moment, and now suddenly you've got Satan by Orbital stuck in my head.
I should really do something about that... later tho...
Reminds me of that woman in Germany who jumped into the polar bear enclosure at the Berlin zoo to swim with the bears.
Gonna guess that didn't go well for her?
Eh, depends.
Doing nothing feels good now tho
kind of bullshit for children?
As someone who is only alive today because of all the suicide attempts I didn't make, respectfully shove this up your ass.
keep your head up, i agree with you :)
As lord Buddha once said:
nah you gave bad advice and when called out on it, you go "nuh uh actually this is a shitpost community and i can post bad advice whenever i want to"
