We all have done mistakes, and some of them make us feel inmediately regretful after doing one of them, and what hurts more, is that we could have done something that would have done the good opposite, and make us want something to be capable of undoing it and make everything fine again instantly.
They can be from real life, or videogames.
If any of us have one of these painful moments, please feel free to share them here!

Refusing Conrad the goddamn gun. I should've known handing a firearm to a distraught man who just held a kid at gunpoint with one the day before was the correct option. Silly me!
Heh, but I was talking about the regrets that really hurt
Being born a human. Why couldn't I have been a pig? Or a ferret? Anything that doesn't have a brain like this one.
Probably every single time I interact with people.
I feel you.

This is too true for me.
The conversation turns out great until I walk away. Then... "OMG?? Why did I say that? I really hope they didn't think much of it..."
One of my classmates used to be bullied a few years ago when she just came to out school. I've never taken part in bullying, just supported some of the jokes. The main bullies were our boys, notorious tricksters, whom were considered "cool". I was a shy goody two shoes so I really wanted to be like them. I though they were really funny.
A week before the incident, these boys added some unknown guy in our class group chat. He started trolling this girl in a pretty harsh way but everyone just laughed at this.
So one day I just took her phone when she was away and used her account to write "i suck /guy's name/ dick" in the group chat. When she saw this, she started crying. I immediately regretted what I did - it was awful. You know, that sting of shame... I realized that I'd just humiliated her in front of everyone. When she cried, no one laughed at all.
I apologized to her the next day and she seemed to forgive me. After that, I always acted nice to her and we became something like friends. I guess it's water under the bridge but this memory still hurts. I betrayed myself and did something terrible just to be "cool" - it taught me an important lesson. Never in my life I'll do such thing again.
Also after that incident, the bullying stopped. I guess I stepped over the line that had to be stepped over in order to end it all. I never though I'd be that person, because I'd never been a bully... but I was chosen for this sacrifice by fate. Yikes. Don't repeat my mistakes and be smart, kiddos.
Yeah, whatever you do, DO NOT type in porn on your friend’s school account, chances are they’ll accidentally hit enter and will spend the entire week trying to kill you. True story. Some details slightly exaggerated.
Buying A New Frontier
How about making a new frontier jokes after nearly 2 years of their origination?
Being socially active with almost everyone... Call me edgy or something, but with the shit you have to deal with people who make you feel pathetic when you even remember you’ve used to do so much for them I sometimes have nothing but envy the people who have struggles with social awkwardness, in that way they rarely interact with anybody and talk less and be somehow unknown for most of the people around you. Still better than living in the bullshit known as “friendship”.
that was a depressing read ???
im friendly with lots of ppl too but never rly had any problems with it besides maybe being too busy when someone asks to hangout.
Yeah I’m too sometimes.. but when it gets to the point of doing a great favor for someone, that took me days to do for him and then shits on me later you just give up people
that doesnt sound like a friend tho, just someone using you.
I guess it’s too late to find out now
Probably being a bit too honest. I can pin down any single life changing regret, but there's a bunch of little ones that would have gone a lot better if I'd lied a bit more.
More immediately, not thinking of making an ANF joke until I saw it. That was good lol.
I like to think our mistakes define us, that our weaknesses shape our paths just as much as our strengths. If you possessed the foresight to circumvent every failure you could possibly make, then that wouldn't be you. That would be a reality bender who can defy inexperience and character shortcomings with the power of hindsight from another timeline in the future. We're not superhumans; missteps are just part of the journey.
I'm a flawed spirit and I've made many mistakes that I wish I could take back, but I believe we're all here for a reason and sometimes the pain we cause others and ourselves is essential to shaping their paths in the way they were meant to be.
