My Greatest RegretsWhen I was still quite young, I was offered the chance to spend several weeks in the South of France. My Uncle was going to drive me down in his vintage MG sports car. There would be sun, sand and, crucially, French girls.
I was too scared of the French girls to go.
What do you regret not doing?

something I should regret but don't.My then-best friend was getting married, and sent out invitiations, but for some reason didn't send me one. It wasn't because he didn't want me to come, or even because he forgot about me as such - we hung out pretty regularly.
On the phone a bit before the wedding I mentioned this to him, and he said "oh, sorry man...just turn up anyway". This made me absolutely furious, and so I didn't go. I told him I was sick I think.
Anyway a while later I mentioned how he never sent me an invitation and he said "is that why you didn't come, ha ha", laughing at the absurdity of the thought of me being that petty and thin-skinned.
I *should* feel shame and regret, but in fact I still feel a gut-churning anger at not getting an invitation.
