Wish I never met this person!

Have you had this feeling like, if you could only turn back time, you're going to delete this person in your past so that today or in the future, that person won't ruin your life? Sometimes I do think of it, but I'm reminding myself that there are reasons why we things are happening. I do believe that there is not such thing as accident in life. It is plan. And so, though feeling this way, I'm still looking for something good. One of my mottos in life is "See good in everything" and that is what I'm doing to this person. Have you met somebody whom you feel the same way like I do? That sometimes you wish that you never them? Ofcourse, we should be careful of what we wish for, cuz we just might get it. I should be thankful instead. Right?

Absolutely. But I try to keep in mind that we meet every single person for a reason - to teach us something about themselves or even something about ourselves. If we meet an enemy or someone who has put us through a lot, I feel like it serves just as great of a purpose as if we meet a great friend. I try to see the best in people too but it seems like it doesn't always happen - that there are just, plain, "bad apples" out there. I try not to regret anything and to be thankful for every kind of experience I have in life.... It all makes us grow and learn.

Yes at first I wished it but then I realized that everything happens for a reason, and there are so many things i can learn from what happened in my life and from the person. I think I cannot just blame the person when my life is broken down, it takes two to tango perhaps it happened because I let or gave chance to the person to ruin my life, the best way to fix what has happened is to learn and to take a lesson from it. Dont forget the sun will shine brightly again even after a heavy storm, so if I found trouble today or has my life broken down I do believe everything is going to be okay later. I used to cursing my exboyfriend, how I wished never met him, how I hated him for the waste of time, but then as the time passed by I could let go and im thankful for ever had the chance to know him. He was not that bad, he was just insecure with the relationship. it doesnt mean Im still in love with him or expect him to come back, I dont think I can be with him anymore but I think I have a better understanding about other people and about relationship.

Not that rude. I don't curse or hate this person. I actually like him. But, there's a feeling that we shouldn't be together. Though we like each other. So sometimes, I'm thinking like, i hope i didn't meet this person so that i no longer think of our situation or whatsoever. There's no gap between us, thats why I feel so annoyed that I used to think about this .

yeah, there are of course some points in our lives that we do not want to be part, but they had happened. we could only wish so. now that they happen and part of our lives, what we need is acceptance and realization from those events. some people made our lives difficult. they also provided relevant lessons for us to grow and mature as a person.

For how many years, been trying to program my mind with that thought. So funny, cuz the feeling is this, "wish I never met this person.. " but, I like this person being around . . Confusing isnt it?

There is this one girl in my life who I just wish that I had never had to meet. She ruined a lot of my friendships with her horrible and selfish ways, and it has tested my strength to the core. However, I no longer speak to her, as I realised just in time that unless I cut all ties with her now, there was no way that I was ever going to be able to live my life in the way that I was wanting to because she was in control of me. I should be the one who is in control of my own life, and this is the way that it is going to be from now on.

Is that your ex girl friend? In my part , he is not my boy friend. We're just friends and if we're together I feel like I'm at my worst. I like his company so much. And i learn a lot from him too. But its not enough reason for us to be together. Thats what i feel.

hi zaga, not really, if in your life you have let a person enter your circle and since then found out that person is not the person you thought they were, or if its a person who doesn't enhance your life in a positive way, by all means you should delete that person from your mindand life... we can not please everyone and everyone can not please us... Just remember you should choose your friends wisely.... Just be thankful that you can make a choice in your life that would make a difference to you,,, DELETE THEM!!!!!! enjoy you weekend......

Hope that is easy as how i read your reaponse. To admit, though I want to delete that person in my life, my action is so contradictory. What do you think should I do? To eliminate or atleast limit our time together.

I know exactly how you feel. In my entire life I can only count three people whom I absolutely wish I had never met, and even going through and thinking about what meeting them did for me, who I know now because of them or whatever, I realize that my life would be much better, right now. Maybe. I mean we don't know that for sure BUT I feel in my heart of hearts that I having not met those three people at the times and places I did, or at all, I would be in a completely different place in my life, without some very painful scars that are both physical and metal. For everything in my being, I do wish that the wish of not knowing them would come true. Rereading that, I sound really selfish, but it's a really long, complicated painful story and I truly believe that if me and those three had not met up, A LOT of other people would be without scars and would be happy too.

Sounds selfish yes. But I know theres a reason why you said that. There are things in our past that we want to delete even people. Iwe always have "if only" reasons and thinking. Thats normal, but I pray that someday you will cope up too and forget those three people whom you want to remove in your life. Forget the hatred and the feeling you had towards them. I may not be like you. I'm a bit coward in some aspect cuz I'm always thinking that I can do something to change the situation though still staying with those people whom I sometimes wish not to meet.

There are actually only three people that I've ever met in my life that I wish had never been a part of my life. The first person is a girl that I thought was a friend of mine and she ended up stealing money and a debit card from my family. The second person is one of my exes and he threatened my life and just made me scared to ever reveal my real self to a person again. The last person is the most recent and he was a friend of my husband's that ended up stealing from us and also taking our van and we had to get the police involved to get it back.

There is a person that came to mind while reading this. She is a mean person who only gets close to people to get what she wants. Then she does not talk to them again until she needs something from you. She is about to be gone from my life completely because I do not need a person like that around me. I only need positive people in my life, no negative energy for me. I have tried over and over to see if there was something positive in her but I have come up empty handed every time. I have come to the conclusion she is not worth my time. I think when there is someone that only hurts us in our life we need to be strong enough to delete them from our life. That could be the reason they came into our life, to see how strong we really are... Just my thoughts...

Well yes, I've met someone before who I wish I never should have known that person. What I did is just avoid that person. I avoided him and try to make new friends. In your case, I feel like you are talking about your husband or your boyfriend, either way try to think first what is wrong. Is it really him or is just you. What did that person do to make you hate him that much. If he is to blame then try to talk to him and see if he can change.

I too believe that everything happens for a reason but also that all that happens to us shapes us as individuals. This is the same for all the people we meet. I have come across a few people whether at school or in the workplace, or even out socially who I look back and wish I had never met for various reasons but the truth of the matter is without those encounters I wouldn't be who I am today or even in the place in life that I am today. These people, however negatively I believe they impacted on me, have shaped the person I have become and more subtley, have probably effected the decisions I have made consequently. We can't really hope to erase anyone or anything in our lives because it is all part of our progression as people.

Having a little regret is always present and in my case, i too have regretted meeting one of my friend, who introduced me to online gaming. This later led to me getting addicted and from a top student when i was young, my results dropped all the way to become the bottom few. However i never thought of deleting that person because i believe that all things are fated anyway and even if i didn't meet him, i may still follow another route which is even worse than what i am experiencing now. At least, right now i am quite satisfied with my life and i found my interest in computering.

Yes, I do met a person that I wished I never had. This person really brings me to much burden in my work today. If I never met this one, I will not be too much stressed in my work. There has been a lot of pressure on me now. My boss is regularly calling me about the status of the payment of the things purchased in our company. Although, he was already paid amlost 80% of the total amount, still I really need to settle this as soon as possible. You are right, everything happening to us has a reason. Just keep on looking on the bright side. I guess that this will have a good lesson in my life. Good day!

I think we all met someone like this, and wish only if. But I think everything happens for a reason. There was a reason you met them, and they were a part of your life. Sometimes its frustrating, and upsetting but we have to push through.
