Mistakes sometimes do not go unnoticed. Some of them lead to quite tangible consequences now, while others we regret in old age. Psychologists will tell you about seven mistakes that often make themselves felt years later.
Salvation of hopeless and pointless relationships
So many people are trying to save a relationship with a toxic partner. Women try to correct tyrants, men - frivolous ladies. Psychologists note that if you have a problem that cannot be solved, then you should not waste time on it, because you will not be able to change a person, influence him.
Try to let go of those who have already left and those who hurt you. Sadness and sadness are normal, but these feelings should not ruin your life. Move on, because there are so many interesting people around.
Work in a hated place
If you don't like working where you do now, then it's time to leave. Many old people say that they are very sorry for the wasted time and nerves. Of course, sometimes it's hard to leave a place that feeds and feeds you and your family, but years later you may regret not starting something else.
The same applies to those situations when a person works too much, spending a huge amount of time at the workplace instead of being around more often with loved ones, significant other, children and friends.
Life by someone else's rules
If your parents, for example, want you to become a financial analyst, you don't have to go in that direction. You need to live your life, not do what others ask you to do.
Your friends all got married or got married and had kids and then they tell you that you should follow the same path. Don't do it if you don't want to. This does not mean that you should always go against the advice of loved ones. Sometimes it is more important to analyze your steps and actions, acting according to your conscience and according to your expectations.
No risks
No one says that you need to get into a car and drive 200 kilometers per hour in the oncoming lane. It is about something more important and less obvious. For example, about trying a relationship with a person you like, but does not fit in some parameters.
Sometimes you have to take a risk by approaching a beautiful woman to get to know her. Is it possible to take a risk, betting at least once on red in the casino, going on a trip without money by hitchhiking. In old age, you can regret that you did not do anything bright and memorable.
Lack of concern for one's health
This is a very big mistake that anyone who underestimates the importance of paying attention to the state of the body and soul regrets. When we are 20 years old, we are so cheerful that we think that all our bad habits will not affect our health in the future, but it is not so.
It is not for nothing that they say that health should be protected from youth. If you don't do this, all the "sores" will come out already at the age of 30-35. Remember that your resources are not infinite. Proper nutrition and physical activity are the two main pillars of a pleasant old age.
Reluctance and refusal to learn new things
This is an imperceptible mistake that not everyone realizes. In fact, studying is very important. It is not about entering a university at the age of 40, but, let's say, about learning to speak a foreign language.
New skills open new doors for us. Yes, sometimes it is difficult to force yourself to do something other than work and rest, but this is a very important element of happiness.
Reluctance to listen to elders
It turns out that the elders teach us not because they want to seem smarter or because they want to get you with their speeches and conclusions, annoying stories. In fact, they do it just to help. They share experiences that will help you overcome difficulties.
For example, your grandfather or father tells you that you need to be able to stand up for yourself. Someone bypasses this advice, and then in arguments or meetings with aggressive people cannot protect themselves and their beloved. Moms say that you should date nice and smart guys, not bullies. They know that if you live with an addicted or aggressive man, you can fall into a trap and regret it.
Psychologists advise to pay more attention to the advice of loved ones and not to forget that it is important to make only balanced decisions in life, so as not to regret it later.
