Getting older has a funny way of changing your perspective. The things that seemed important in your 20s often fade into the background, while the opportunities you passed up or habits you ignored suddenly feel much bigger.

When people over 40 on Reddit were asked to share their biggest regrets, the responses were refreshingly honest. Some wish they’d taken better care of their health, others regret staying in bad relationships or not taking more risks, and plenty admitted they spent far too much time worrying about what other people thought.

Some of the answers are difficult to read, but they’re also incredibly relatable. If nothing else, these responses offer a chance to learn from someone else’s experience before making the same mistake yourself.
