What stupid thing did you do that makes you cringe when you think about it?

#1

I didn't get mental health meds when I should've. I knew I was depressed, but I thought, "I can tough this out." Take it from me: don't tough it out. Get the meds. Get the therapy. It works. And you deserve it.

When I was a child I was bullied pretty often. Some of the worst offenders were the kids that lived in my neighborhood, who I had to see every day at the bus stop. No one ever did anything. No one cared.

Until I pulled a knife on them.

THEN people suddenly cared. They expelled me from school. I didn't hurt them, I never wanted to. I just wanted to scare them into leaving me alone.

They didn't. There were no consequences for them. They were lauded for being brave.

I stopped at a bank to make a deposit. When I got back to my car I couldn't start it, nor could I get the key out of the ignition. I called AAA, and while waiting I pondered what I would do without a car. The mechanic showed up - and it turned out the problem was just that my car was still in gear. I said "OK, hand me my Stupid button." I give the mechanic credit - he was not snarky or condescending. Also, I was charged nothing. So, LFMF.

*cough* One of them.... Used an angle grinder without PPE because it was only a small job. Luckily I didn't lose my finger but it was very close. Great scar though ;)

Went to college. I hate that field, I hate that job, I hated my classes. I should have just gone to trade school from the get go. At least I still have my student loans, now and forever.

I hope you truly don't feel this way. You never know who is out there waiting for you. Or who needs you in their life. Not everyone feels special but everyone is exactly special in every way because they are unique and that is just truly effing amazing when you truly think about it!

Opened our own business. It failed miserably and almost 9 years down the line, we still have financial issues because of it. Luckily we never left our day jobs

This is the stupidest thing I've ever said, but also the thing I am most proud of. My alcoholic ex-husband once came home, raging at the world, after an afternoon drinking. He hit me across the face because he thought I had "a man in the freezer for later." Without thinking, I replied, "Well, at least he would be stiff!" The reply got me a couple of broken bones, but I will never forget the look on his face. (We separated shortly afterwards.)

I suppose it means the stupidest thing you have done until now. That doesn't mean you cannot do "better" another time
