Those in their 20s can learn a lot from those in their 40s… especially when it comes to regrets. Redditor u/Iamdefinitelynotadog was curious about this and asked fellow Redditors who are 40+ “What do you regret not doing when you were younger?” Twenty-somethings, you may want to take note and not have the same regrets!
- "I should've been single longer. It would've been nice to live life on my own terms for a while."
- "Therapy. I waited until my late 30s to finally heal some deep childhood wounds, and I realized I could’ve avoided a lot of hardships had I gotten help sooner."
- "Spending time getting over exes/staying in stupid relationships. In retrospect, there are so many people to meet. Spending time unhappy or feeling sad over breakups is such a waste of time that you don’t get back."
- "Not traveling more when you're younger. Discovering other cultures, making new friends, and gaining fresh insights can all be accomplished through traveling."
- "Not making more friends or staying in touch with old friends. It gets so much harder as you get older."
- "I regret worrying so much about how my body looked."
- "Not expressing how I felt openly. Let people make their own decisions with their own knowledge rather than being so afraid of losing them that you try to manage the situation (and make it worse)."
- "Not wearing sunscreen on a daily basis."
