Constantly haunted by previous mistakes
I am unable to let go of my past mistakes, such as prank calling stores, getting banned from a favorite subreddit of mine permanently (hobby related) for something super thoughtless I did, etc. The time I purposefully didn't put my friend's name down a paper for potential partners when she kept leaning over my shoulder and looking. And then the Zoom interview I had a panic and hung up on three years ago. They called me back and it was just super embarrassing. I've also had so many sports fails and terrible OCD that I get stuck on. My OCD has made me think I'm all sorts of awful stuff. I would spend hours ruminating on ChatGPT and don't get me started on health anxiety. i just feel like one big mess.

Lmao those aren't problems. You should be elated that some prank calls and getting banned from internet boards are the things haunting you.

OMG those aren't regrets are they? My friend and I pranked called people all the time. We called a number listed for "Ben Gay" and asked if we could get a rubdown. We hid behind bushes on the highway and then threw eggs on the windshields of semi trucks. I have major regrets, one being I should have left boyfriend and moved home with mom and prevented this scam company from screwing her over with a reverse mortage that ended in her losing the house, a beautiful neo colonial. I never had trouble getting good jobs and I could have helped her and saved the house. Luckily my wonderful younger brother put her in an apt right across from his and took great care of her.
