Let an older man manipulate and impregnate me. I've learned that people are really good at pretending.
Lilliesandlight · 41-45, F
@come2gether of course not. My babies are my heart
come2gether · 41-45, M
@Lilliesandlight I have none, and never will at this point. Enjoy what you have
Primnproper · 56-60, F

Going into credit card debt.
I learned credit card companies are legalized loan sharks and you should only use a credit card in an emergency
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@FreeSpirit1 most definitely!
Plasticbag · 100+, M
Giving in to my weakness of character. Everyone has dark thoughts but if you give in to temptations it’s a slippery slope.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Plasticbag 😂😂 no he will chase me off!
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@Plasticbag

Yes, he is in urgent need of help for the aged,
and is grateful for your charity. 🤭
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@Plasticbag [quote]he knows about my charity work for help the aged[/quote]

Don`t be dragging me into this. 😅
Putting myself last
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Pinkstarburst yes did the same thing over and over till I met my husband and finally put myself first..
So take the leap and put yourself first you deserve it!
@Primnproper Meh. I’m used to it now. Don’t know any other way. It’s just how I’m wired.
Opening my heart to people that don't deserve it. I am beyond cautious now, like tiptoeing
@Primnproper You are so sweet, thank you for being you🤗
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@mindlessdrifter It’s my pleasure…🤗 always here whether you want to laugh, scream or shout!
@Primnproper Great for the heart and soul 😍💖
TexChik · F
Letting PTSD take control after my daddy passed . That was so awful .
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@TexChik so sorry you had that. 🤗
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
Trusting people and believing that maybe this time it'll be better. Never repeating that mistake lol. Too old to be beaten up constantly.

In situations like this. I always put them first and neglect myself to end up all alone to fend for myself over and over again.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Beatbox34 I’m sorry you’ve been used and made to feel that way..
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@Primnproper Thanks for understanding. I just have made peace that I can't fit here or anywhere.

You need not apologize though.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Beatbox34 don’t give up though.. I know it’s hard to believe but not everyone is bad news, it just takes time to find the genuine from the phoneys.
MirandaPanda · 41-45, F
Hanging out with boring men🤢
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@MirandaPanda bonus!!! 👍
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@MirandaPanda what's your definition of boring man?
MirandaPanda · 41-45, F
@iamnikki They just talk about themself.
akindheart · 61-69, F
thinking the best of people and not listening to my intuition.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@akindheart I bet we’ve all tried that and got burnt with that one👍
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Primnproper i hate to harden my heart or be skeptic but i have to.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@akindheart I know many that have.
SageWanderer · 70-79, M
Having low confidence in myself and letting a narcissist take advantage of it.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@SageWanderer yep I’ve had that one many years ago..
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
First marriage
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Patriot96 Ditto..
JustNik · 51-55, F
Spent a large part of my life just existing for everyone else. Besides the obvious, I also learned that when you water your own garden, you not only have more to give, what you give means more. That was kind of delightful.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@JustNik I understand that!
RenFur · 70-79, M
Not taking advantage of the many scoring opportunities that presented themselves to me.
But I surely would've ended up in jail - so, avoiding that was the good part. I guess.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@RenFur you probably made the right move then. 👍
RenFur · 70-79, M
@Primnproper

All in all, yes... you're right.
OldBrit · 61-69, M
Drinking. Eventually - took a huge amount of pain before I learnt one is too many but one hundred not enough.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@OldBrit well I’m glad you were able to find a way through it that gives me hope for others..
OldBrit · 61-69, M
@Primnproper I'm 20 years sober in a couple of weeks.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@OldBrit that is brilliant!🤗
Putting off getting help for things. I still hate to ask.
TheOthetAcc · 36-40, M
@bijouxbroussard That's just how I am
Losing my virginity too early.

Eventually, I learned to keep my 🐱 to myself because the lion's share of jokers I encountered were not worthy.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@DreamyCrush good for you. I was the opposite. lol think I treated it like a vault! 😂
thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M
I stopped taking antidepressants cold turkey when I was 22 and ended up disabled four months later.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@thepreposterouspanda oh no… how are you now?
thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M
@Primnproper still disabled and always will be but definitely doing better than I was when I first got sick. Unfortunately, I have spinal cord damage that I wasn't informed of until last November and it has caused my legs to cramp from my hips to my toes constantly since I got sick.

Just kind of out of steam for dealing with it all at the moment. 😅
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@thepreposterouspanda I know exactly what you mean, my spinal surgery back in 2002 left me with so much nerve damage and parts of me that don’t work as it should and we have no choice but to just plough through it. 🤗
smiler2012 · 56-60
@Primnproper i tooik an engineering apprenticeship when i left school that i knew was not for me and i was right i lasted six weeks. but from then on i decided i would stop biting off more than chew and let that mistake serve as a kick up the arse to myself for the future
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@smiler2012 most definitely..👍
nedkelly · 61-69, M
@smiler2012 I thought being married to Mrs Smiler
smiler2012 · 56-60
@nedkelly 😆very close second ned
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
Should have gotten my PhD.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@samueltyler2 many of us may have regrets..
Women. Nothing personal. 😌
I learned that they are NOT all sugar, spice, and everything nice.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@NoThanksLeon I don’t like to generalise as that does a disservice to the decent men/women out there but I understand your feelings. If that is what you’ve learnt then I find it sad.
@Primnproper [quote]I don’t like to generalise[/quote]
I do, until someone proves me wrong.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@NoThanksLeon that’s your prerogative..
exexec · 61-69, C
Not believing in myself when others did believe in me. I'm not sure I have completely overcome that problem.
MarineBob · 56-60, M
I keep failing to learn
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@MarineBob that must be frustrating.
zonavar68 · 51-55, M
Trusting other people in adult relationships, but I'm equally guilty of taking relationships for granted too, and almost nobody when scoping out people for dating will ever admit that mistakes in life are a two-sided topic.
I moved to this town away from everyone I knew so that my child could finish highschool. She's okay, and I may never get home.
I'd let her out on a street if I had it to do again. She was technically an adult, and obviously evil.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
I always put myself last and it’s not been good for my well being
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@iamonfire696 I try but I tend to still make sure everyone else is before I sit back.. I’ve got better though.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Primnproper I am glad you have got better.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
LilPrincess · 41-45, F
I make so many...I trust to easily sometimes, I put the entire world first and myself last.

So far I haven't learned anything😔
Thodsis · 51-55, M
Too much booze is a big mistake.

The lesson learned is to not drink too much booze.

Other drugs are available. :)
Lilymoon · F
Getting married so young and not going to College
Houdini · 56-60, M
