People Share Their Biggest Regrets In Life

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Today we're getting introspective, okay? Did I use that word correctly? Nice. Today's video is going to be people sharing their biggest regrets in life from people who are 111 years old who usually just say like they regret not smoking more cigarettes or something like that. And then people who are like 20 years old who regret, you know, their high school girlfriend or something, I don't know. But today we're gonna be looking through people's regrets and seeing if we can learn a little something about life. Let's go. This is from a 60 year old male. When I was 21, I didn't have the guts to tell my male best friend that I was in love with him. I'm pretty sure he felt the same way, but he died 10 years later, so I'll never know. It's easy to sit here and be like, hey, if you love someone, you should definitely tell them. And I will say that. I think that you should and just kind of deal with the repercussions. If you really feel like compelled to tell someone, I'm in love with you. I don't think that happens too often, you know, after fifth grade. Before that, I was telling fucking pretty much every girl in my class that I love them. But yeah, if you actually feel like compelled to tell someone, you know, I'm in love with you or I love you, I think that you should do it. But I also understand that it's very hard to do that, especially when you're like 21 years old or a little younger or something like that. So don't like, you know, kill yourself over it. Just fucking understand that you were young and you thought you had way more time than you did. I don't even know if I answered that question, I'm gonna be honest. This is from a 32 year old female. I should have gotten more penis before I got married. I love penis there. Should have really gotten more penis. I love my husband and family, but I missed my time to have fun and meet strangers and explore sexual experiences. Should have gotten more penis before you got married. Tal is old as time, you know? I think that a lot of people feel that way, you know, when they get married to like their high school sweetheart or, you know, something like that. I mean, it's easy to look at the other side of the fence and be like, oh, that would have been fun or this, you know, whatever, but at the end of the day, I believe that, you know, when you get married and you have a family and a husband and stuff, like, you wouldn't trade that for the penis, the random penis, that would probably let you down. You know what I mean? And it seems like a lot of fun because you're like, oh, I don't have that, but I think it would be worse to just have a lot of random penis at no husband and no family. But I also don't think that you're crazy for feeling this way. I think that, you know, a lot of people look back in their life being like, I wish I did this. I wish I studied harder. I wish I did this. It just so happens that one of your regrets is that you as you had more COCK in your stuff. So yeah, I mean, don't tell your husband that. (laughs) Don't tell your husband and your kids that you, you know, I wish I got railed a little bit more before I settled down. A 76 year old male, I regret working too much. Plain and simple, it doesn't matter that I was successful and made money because in the end, a lot of it feels like wasted time away from friends, family and new experiences. I could have still found my success without forcing myself to add on all those extra hours of work. Growing up, this was like one of my biggest fears, I think. Actually, I don't think I was afraid. I was just more arrogant about it. I was just like, I'm not gonna fucking be one of those people. And I used to say that all the time. And I think back then, I didn't really mean it as much as I have come to mean it over the years 'cause back then, it just sounded really cool to be like, I'm not gonna be like a slave to a desk. And like, I thought that made me sound cool when I was younger, but I did have that. I really did have this thing in me where I was like, I can't even focus by, I could barely focus in school. And I could get by and I could get good grades and stuff, but even that, the monotony of just like getting up, going here, did I use that word right? Monotony? Monotony? Not monogamy. Monotony. That's what I said. Well, whatever it is. See, this is why you gotta pay attention. Even now, probably the busiest I've ever been in my entire life with the tour and all the videos and this and that. And like, there's some other stuff in the work that I'm not gonna talk about right now, but there's a lot going on. And still, I think that it's a big priority for me that everyone who's working for me and putting in the hours is not putting in too much because I never want what has come to be my company to be the reason why people have regrets in life or they don't spend enough time with their kids or they can't do this and that. I feel like I make an effort to make sure that people can still do those things and we can still get our work done. There's no reason why we need to be here for 10 hours in a day, just doesn't need to happen and it doesn't fucking happen, not even close. I think that everyone should listen to this because as important as it is to make money, it also is important to make sure that you're enjoying your life. And I realize that right now, it's impossible to afford anything. No one can buy a house, no one's getting paid enough. The job market, it's impossible to even fucking find a job that will pay you anything. So that's easier said than done. But when you get to a point in your life where you have some sort of financial stability, I would just try to, in those moments, make sure that you remember like, I need to be enjoying this as well. I think that you have to earn a work-life balance and it takes a while to get to that point. But I don't think that you should ignore that because a lot of people, they get entry-level positions like I'm only making $40,000 right now. I could barely afford to get by and pay my rent and pay for food and stuff like that. And I have a family. But over the years, if you actually get to that point where you can afford a work-life balance and you could go on more vacations or this and that, and maybe you have to take a hit in other places, I think that's worth it. I think that you should enjoy your money, enjoy the fruits of your labor, and make sure you're doing that because if you just, you know, like this, you got a 76-year-old over here being like, "Fuck, and I work too much." You know, there's a lot of people, they make millions of dollars every single year and they're still working 70 hours a week. I don't know why anyone would fucking do that. You know, more vacations, more time with the family, more time with the friends. If you have the luxury of being able to afford a work-life balance, you should be going out of your way for both. You should be going out of your way for your job so that you make sure that you're securing your future, but you should be going out of your way for your life as well and making sure you're making sacrifices from the other end so that you could spend more time with your family and stuff. Okay, I'm done. I'm nine-year-old male, 29-years-old, and he's got some fucking regrets, oh God. When I was 19, my friend's mom asked if I wanted to suck on her giant tots. I'm not trying to be funny, but I wish I said yes just so I could have one of those crazy stories that looked back on. I even told my friend a few years later and he said he wouldn't have cared if I did it. Dude, I mean, unless she's dead, fucking saddle up. You know, what the fuck, what are we waiting on that? Yo, someone's mom asking a 19-year-old to suck on her tits. That's kind of, now we're getting a little wild. I also love the contrast between the last question and this one, it's completely different regrets in life. Someone's like, I wish I didn't work so hard so I could spend more time with my beautiful family. This guy's like, my friend's mom had giant knockers and I wish I milked them. Yeah, I'll be honest with you, at 19, if I had a friend that had a mom that was like really hot and had giant taters and she was asking me to go crazy town. I may have said yes, I don't know. Depending on who it was, not if it was a very close friend, I wouldn't do that 'cause that makes, you know, when I come over to the house and stuff, that makes it weird and I'm not trying to do that. But a fringe friend, a fringe friend? Stets may have gotten sucked. The friend saying he wouldn't have cared is probably the craziest part of this story, okay? If anyone telling me that my mom said that to them is getting beat the fuck up. And I also might throw something at my mom that wouldn't hurt her, but like a pillow, I'm firing a pillow at my mother and being like, you're not leaving your room now. Dude, don't worry, you don't have to regret that, okay? You're only 29, plenty of tits in the world. Some giant, some 80-bitty, and everything in between. It'll be fine. This is from a 50-year-old woman. I regret falling into the material consumerism trap. I wasted so much money, time, and energy on products that I didn't need only because I was convinced I had to have them. Stupid clothes, shoes, cars, TVs, et cetera. I worked so hard to be able to acquire things that I don't even remember now. I wish I had been wiser with my money. I do think a lot of people probably fall for this trap as well. I think it's because people try to, and this is not me being on my high horse 'cause I've definitely done this too, are trying to make yourself feel better by just buying shit. Like, okay, I'll feel better once I can afford this thing and then you can afford it and you get it, and you're like, eventually, you just become desensitized to the things that you have. So unless you put some energy or meaning into the things that you're buying and the reason why you're buying them, then they just eventually become pointless. I do spend money on watches, right? I will say that. That is a bad material thing that I have for me. But all of those things are, there's a moment or something when I buy a watch that I kind of attach it to. So I can never sell those things. I don't feel bad about it because it reminds me of this memory. It's almost like I'm trapping it in time in this purchase. But as far as clothes and shoes and whatever things that are a little more fleeting, if I don't have energy or anything sort of attached to it, then it kind of eventually just kind of goes out the door. And I think that you need to make sure you can afford that. And I don't mean the actual price tag. I just mean that if I'm going to spend $1,000 on something, knowing that it's not attached to anything, then I have to be okay with essentially flushing it down the toilet. Because eventually that's what it's going to feel like. Like you can look back on things that you bought and be like I spent $5,000 on this handbag that I bought. And I don't even use it or I don't even like it or I don't, you know, whatever. But if you bought yourself that handbag [BLANK_AUDIO] You've got a promotion at work or whatever, like it would mean more to you and be like, you know what, I actually don't regret buying this. Like I have some sort of like moment in time or something connected to it. I think people get into that trap because they're just trying to buy their way out of like feeling like shit or like trying to buy validation, which is never going to come. It comes for maybe a week or something. You buy something and you're like, okay, cool. This is nice and shiny now. But eventually people know that you have it and you know that you have it. And now you're kind of like, well I need something else and it needs to be better than the last thing. And that's why it becomes this like vicious circle in this trap because you're always trying to outdo the last thing that you did just to get to this validation which there isn't going to be ever. You have to make material items mean something. They don't mean something when they're sitting on the shelf. You have to make it mean something. Otherwise you're wasting your fucking money. Not wasting it, but eventually it will feel like that, maybe. A 42 year old woman says she regrets getting a tattoo of Ronald Reagan riding a whale with a giant penis on my back. Don't do things just to make your friends laugh for a night. Yeah, I got nothing here. This is a big fat regret. Dumb, dumb is rocks. Okay, this is a bad decision. Ronald Reagan riding a whale with a giant penis. Who laughed at that by the way? I wouldn't even laugh at like, oh I should do that. I'd be like, yeah. But if you got in the tattoo chair, I would then be very fucking concerned. I'd be like, please don't commit to this joke. It's not that good. I don't think that you should. Yeah, I think this goes back to the last one. I was just talking about if you don't want to regret tattoos, try to make them mean something, I guess. But also like whatever, if it's art, it's art. I don't know if Ronald Reagan riding a giant penis whale is like artistic or not, but I think the whale has the giant penis. They had the biggest dicks in the animal kingdom. Do not ask why I know that. Before we move forward this video, we do have some sponsors. The first one being rocket money.

A 30-year-old male says they regret being too cool to pay attention in high school. That was the most popular kid back then. But now I'm the first to admit, I'm a fucking idiot adult and don't know basic stuff. (laughs) Here's the thing, you're only 30 years old. I mean, I think a lot of people look back at high school and they're like, I wish I just fucking paid attention a little more so that I could be smarter or go to a better school or I would have had a better job if I worked a little harder in college or if I did this and spent enough time. Dude, you made your memories and you had a good time in whatever and you're only 30. If you're admitting that you're a fucking idiot and you don't know basic stuff, it's not too late to learn the basic shit. Okay, you can turn the ship around and not have to like do it. I think you're doing yourself a disservice by being like, oh, I blew my shot back in high school. No, you didn't, back then you had nothing. You probably didn't have a fucking job. You didn't have anything you were gonna do with you didn't know what you were gonna do with your life and you were probably dating some girl that you don't even fucking know anymore. So your life has completely changed in a bunch of other ways. It doesn't have to be, now I'm just an idiot. I've already blew my shot, I can't turn it around and now I'm just, that's it. I wish I paid more attention. Start paying attention now. Start learning the basic shit now so that you don't have to write on Reddit that like, ah, I blew it back then. You're only someone who peaks in high school if you quit at trying to peak bars. A 48 year woman says, my husband was diagnosed with stage four calling cancer and died within a year. We were always planning on traveling a lot but kept putting it off for years. He never got to see the Grand Canyon like I always wanted to. It's easy to do this, especially when someone passes away of like, oh, we put off so much stuff or whatever. But again, you gotta give yourself some room because it's hard. You know when lives like they have a year left. You know, and it's easy for these fucking gurus online to be like, you should just be living like you have a year. That's not realistic. No one could sustain an actual life for another however many years living like it's their last year on Earth. So I mean, it's, it is difficult. I think when it comes to traveling, or you know, forget about traveling, but just anything, it's, of course there's always gonna be reasons to put it off. You know what, let's just save a little bit more. We'll do that next year. Let's do this, let's do that. And it's not always about, you know, someone passing away or traveling necessarily. If there are things that you wanna do, that you wanna save up for, save up for them and then do them, you know, the money kind of like, will come and go and sometimes, you know, you spend a little bit more, but depending on how old you are, you can afford to do that. These people are, you know, are 48 years old. They, I'm assuming they have, you know, some money saved up and they, if you're considering traveling, that means that you have some sort of financial plan to save or you have some money saved up, you should, I think that you should do it. It kind of goes back to the other one of saying, you know, I wish I didn't work so much. Like, what is the point of having all this money and working so hard towards a promotion, putting in hours, putting in overtime to what? Not see anything, just to see your house and the same five other places that you go to. Like, if it's, if it's of interest to you, you should go out and see the world, put yourself in uncomfortable situations and like just like learn more about yourself. You'll like change. Other things take precedent, become more important to you. And when you choose something, if you really wanna do it, if your husband really wanted to see the grand canyon, then save up and go see the fucking grand canyon. That's something like, for me, with the first time I went to Europe, I was 30 years old, and I remember the flight from, I went to Mecanos, from France to Mecanos, and I was just looking at the window and I was like, it's crazy, the world opened up for me. And other things became important. I don't say, this is the type of shit that I wanna save. And that's the kind of shit that you remember for the rest of your life. I forget podcasts as soon as we're done recording them. I don't know what the fuck I said. You know, your job day to day, I forget everything. I have no idea. People would describe me as a forgetful person, but there are certain things in your life that, in these big moments where sometimes, maybe you're a little uncomfortable, or you spent a little bit too much money there, but you will remember those things for the rest of your life. And at the end of your life, that's all you'll have, because you're not gonna remember those extra over time hours that you put in, unless there was a reason. You're putting in all this over time, you're putting in all this work, and you got this promotion, so that you can get the nice house, or that so you can go travel, or go see the world, or have these really cool experiences. That's what this whole thing should be for. 36 year old woman says, "I regret being a people pleaser for so many years of my life. I never wanted anyone to dislike me, so I did everything for other people and not myself. Now I try to be more selfish." Yeah, I mean, ideally, you wouldn't do things for other people, but I don't know. I think that's kind of just like innate in a lot of people too, like just wanting to make people happy, and wanting everyone to be happy, even if you're sacrificing your happiness for them, and whatever, just making sure everything kind of goes smoothly. That can be sort of like a vicious circle, of course. But I think this is good. I mean, now that you've realized that, you're only 36 years old, and you're trying to be more selfish, do things for you. This is good. This is what I think most people kind of go through in their life, especially around this age. You're 36 years old. You're more mature now. You're kind of, you have enough money in your career that you can kind of like save a little bit and do the things that you want to do. So you should, and I think it's okay. And I don't know how much these people regret it, or how much they kind of hold this against themselves, but it's fine, dude. When you're fucking in your 20s and shit, you're figuring it out, you're figuring out like who's important in your life, who's gonna be sticking around. But once you kind of get to the point where you're like, all right, I kind of spent too many years giving a shit about what other people said. I should start doing me and start being a little more selfish. And that's not to be confused with being rude about it. It's just making yourself a priority. Take yourself on a nice walk, take yourself on a nice trip, you don't have to walk around like no we're doing the thing I want to do you don't have to be rude about it, but you know, it's good And nine-year-old woman says thinking my parents were perfect for too long I actually listened to them too much growing up here we go when you're younger and you're looking at your parents Your parents are superheroes your parents are all-knowing basically they know everything they have all the rules you have to listen to them They're everything your entire world so if you have a question and they don't know the answer I when you're a kid you don't even know how to fucking comprehend that so they just lie to you and you go, okay, that's it Right eventually when you get a little older you start to realize how close you guys get you know I think at a certain age you start to realize, okay, I have a career. I have a job. Maybe you have a family My parents aren't perfect people and they're not supposed to be perfect people They're obviously not perfect people. They were perfect when you knew nothing when you had no answers When you didn't know how to take care of yourself anybody who would be taking care of you at that point seemed very perfect But I don't think it's fair to view your parents at 23 the same way that you viewed you viewed them at eight because you don't need them the same way and they're trying their best Sort of even adjust every single year of your life You know the way that they treat you at eight is different than the way they treat you at even 11 or 12 and then it's 5 16 and then 18 and then 21 and you want to be at a fucking adult, but then you don't know anything You know like it's it's hard to be a parent and make those adjustments I think the sooner that people realize that their parents are just beacons of advice at a certain age and they're not They're like parents like you were when you were eight years old Your relationship with them changes, but it becomes better because now you guys are like peers You kind of work on things together I still to this day go and visit my mom and we sit down and we chat like we're on sex in the city You know what I mean? We have some fucking coffee. We discuss things that are going on in my life We discuss things that are going on her life and there's that equal respect now Because our relationship has changed. I couldn't do that when I was 16 years old I'm not gonna be like hey mom. I have some advice. She'd be like shut the fuck up You know what I mean? Like what 16 year old is gonna give me advice? I'm a grown woman. I think that when you're a child you should be listening to your parents But there will come an age and I don't know when it is it could be fucking 19 years old It could be 23 or 25, but you will get to the point where you're like I'm starting to disagree with these things And I'm starting to see flaws in my parents and that's fine If you hold them to their perfect all knowing this God-like figure again, then you're going to Not like that. You're gonna just be like ill these people are actually not with a are supposed to be so fuck that They're bad people, but they're not bad people You have to accept the flaws in these people and they're your fucking parents So like they tried their hardest and if they're jaded in some way, let's be honest It's probably your fault a little bit 62-year-old male. I regret cheating on my first wife with her sister Whoa I bet I bet you do my advice is yeah, just don't do that good advice also good advice Doesn't matter if the sister is hotter and more spunky and bad. God. She was spunky and bad this guy does not regret it He's so horny and Yeah, I don't even know what to say. This doesn't sound like a regret This sounds like this guy is like fantasizing right now. He's like, yeah, don't do it But my godhood pits Unbelievable A 25-year-old male says he regrets not wearing a condom. Yep, someone's got kids. Someone has children or long-lasting STD, but yeah, I would I would highly suggest wearing condoms It pays to be a little bit of a hypochondriac when it comes to stuff like that Just you know a 36-year-old woman says she regrets not putting myself out there due to fear of fail You're and thinking people cared about what I was doing way more than they actually did You know, it's funny. It's ironic because I think the only way that that fear because I think that fear is also maybe something that's innate in most people But the only way that you get rid of that is just doing something and putting yourself out there Which is like not the coolest thing to hear. I know and it's easier said than done But once you put yourself out there and it works out for you it becomes so much easier to do that again Because you're like oh, I already have a path and I know kind of like what it takes and how scary it is and whatever But when you do something you put yourself out there and you do it and ends up working out you go wow That wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be and I always compare this thing in my life And this is how I think about it because there's a lot of times in my life that I've had to put myself out there and risk some things And it's terrifying when you have to think about it and just sit there and like really come up with the worst-case scenario I always think about getting a shot when you're younger when you're getting a shot when you're younger You're just screaming at least I was screaming in the doctor's office and it was the most pain I've ever been in my entire life and then you go years without getting a shot and then I think in high school You get one and I remember building it up in my head of being like oh my fucking god I'm so scared and whatever and I'm 17 or 16 years old and then I got the shot and I was like that's not nearly as bad As I thought it was gonna be like it hurt like it's barely hurting, you know, but it's you're younger The last time you thought about this thing it was so scary because you're young and you know You built it up to be this thing so by that time, you know You get through your entire life even though the thing is not actually scary. You've made it scary Especially as your life moves forward you should put yourself out there in any regard You know put yourself in uncomfortable situations because no matter what you're gonna be like oh You know if you have social anxiety being like oh there's gonna be a lot of people there There's gonna be this and that blah blah blah like if you just go and put yourself in an uncomfortable situation Sometimes it doesn't work out and like that's fine, but you need to know I think that people should know put yourself out there You know go traveling and be like it sounds so scary to go to a different country where English is not the first language And you know, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to blah blah blah blah if you build it up enough You're never gonna go but if you do go and then you realize you know what? Actually, everyone here does speak English and I could get by and like everything is written in Spanish and English And you know, it was actually an incredible experience completely goes away now the next time you think about well I want to visit another country It's way easier to go the second time than the first time the only way to get rid of this fear of failure Just just put yourself out there and once you get through that one time Everything's gonna be so much easier. You open up your world. It's gonna be lovely. Okay. All right Well, I think I've rambled long enough I don't know how much of this video is gonna make a whole lot of sense, but thank you guys for sticking with me to the end of this video Hope you have a lovely night. Don't forget to subscribe and we will see you next time
