Everyone loves company right?But in everyone's situation on here that is not the case,do you ever wish that it was a different situation for you?And if you could go back in time,and change yourself to not be lonely and well liked would you want to?
 
Hmm, that's a loaded question. On one hand, I would like to go back in time and do things that I know I should've done at an earlier age and correct some bad things I did. On the other hand, all the experiences I went through are what made me the man I am today and, despite my many flaws, I am proud of who I am.

Tldr; dunno, maybe 😅
 
I don't like my loneliness I think it's a very bad thing for me and I think the solution back in time would have been to move in a country that better suits my mindset and values ... not to make myself liked by people I don't like
 
I'd do a lot of things differently. I'd choose an occupation that defined myself, I'd have pursued some relationships that I thought at the time I wasn't good enough for and I'd have given a jolly good, consistent, well meaning with unconditional positive regard, commitment to raising up some kids to be responsible, productive and happy adults.
Instead of being a lonely, slightly odd, aging single guy.
 
I would go back in time and spend zero effort on making and keeping friends. I wasted so much time, effort, and money helping others that just ended up ghosting me. I also trusted several to watch my back as I watched theirs. Well, instead of watching my back they shoved knives into it.

I also would not have had any girlfriends or tried to date anybody. I helped raise two kids for several years too. I wasted SOOOOOO much time, effort, and money on all of that. Sure I have the experiences. But, they were totally not worth it. But, try telling that to others who never had those experiences.
 
Of all the crap I lived through, there's only one thing I'd change. And, no, it's not some horrible thing that happened to me or that I perpetrated. I'd keep all that, it makes me who I am, and it forced me to be better. It would being able to go back and not ever meet one particular person. Honestly, if I was stronger emotionally, it wouldn't matter. Alas, I'm not. So, daily anger and hatred I direct at myself.
 
I've made an awful lot of mistakes. There are things I wish I had done differently. I don't regret those things because it helped me learn from my mistakes and became the stupid, emotional, very loyal, sort of believe in values and principals sort of bloke I am today. Making mistake is just part of life.

When it comes to friends like you say, been there done that. Makes me very cautious and keeps me holding back. I am tired of being stabbed.

I have a big bucket full of regrets and wishes I'd done things differently. Rather than chasing some idiotic belief I was "god's servant" I'd get a good career and live a happy life. I threw it all away on the religion my family drilled into my head and it mixed up with my soft and loving nature and led me down some sucky roads. I'd hang out more, make a lot of friends, and not trust a single one of them. lol
