1. Not getting the help I needed for my anxiety and depression when I was in college, which led to me being forced to withdraw when I was a few credits away from graduating. Essentially, my biggest mistake was giving up on myself. The psychological pain took control of my life and incapacitated me.
   
   I'm now almost thirty, wasted my twenties pursuing a degree I don't actually have, can barely afford to support myself because I'm not qualified to get a real job, and buried under an unimaginable mountain of debt that I will never be able to pay back. I'm not sharing this because I want pity, but because I need to get it out. I rarely share this shame with anyone.
   
   I still have terrible anxiety which has prevented me from nurturing and maintaining friendships. I want the creditors to stop calling me nonstop, but if I they, no one else would call me..
2. My worst mistake... letting myself become a pathological liar.... my biggest success: stopping it in its tracks:)
3. I allowed a person to use me, I gave love without getting anything in return (I was told facts and promises, beautiful words about me, that seem to be too amazing to be true) and was doing that for a year or so. That just kept making me feel more and more hurt, but in the long run I realised that I had to do something. So I decided to respect myself more, to love myself more and to stop screwing myself over for another extra 100 times, like I did before. Everyone deserves to get another shot, sometimes even more than 1 at trying something, forgiving and having hopes but not if it is a riffle with another painful dozens of bullets, they don't.
   Stay strong, people, don't waste your love on people who don't want your love. Look for someone who will be glad with every glance they get, with every word you said, and every thought you made.
   Now that is a feeling worthy of anyones' attention.

5. Fixing mistakes is a lot harder than making them.
6. I honestly don;t know, bc the worst 3-4 years of my life could be my answer, but I learned SO much & got so strong emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. So I feel I would have to think about this one for awhile...
7. I love,love,love this channel.
8. My biggest mistake...my fantasy life.
9. #Love.
10. "my biggest fear is my fear of mistakes"

12. Why do I always cry watching these videos even though it has a positive message o.o
13. my biggest mistake? do "stupid" thing to my lil sist. 
14. is dat guy with the beard a leo di caprio hobo version?
15. my biggest mistake is not making mistakes so i don't face failure and to make everyone around me satisfied 
16. Lack of confidence, not believing that what I'm doing is good enough? Letting the more confident people take your place even though you're better for that position?
    
    Even if you do try hard enough there's not a definite path to achievement, you just have to try your best and hope it turns out the way you planned :P
    
    
17. Everyone should risk more man!!! So what if we fail, we are made from mistakes :D
18. My biggest mistake is probebly not to say what I want to say. I happens not only with strangers or people I work with. But also my family and friends. I think the problem is that I say how things are. And in a pretty bleak and bold fashion. And people dont really like hearing that.
    So...thats that.
19. My biggest mistake is going to school and yet I don't know how to make one dollar by myself
20. The guy in the black jacket moves like matthew mcconaughey lol
