When I was in the fifth grade, I wanted bangs so I gave myself a haircut. I ended up chopping too much off so it ended up being this weird bald patch in the center of my scalp. Welp, I didn't want my mom to get pissed so I blamed the whole thing on my little sister, who has cerebral palsy. Everyone believed me, and I still have major regrets about lying :(
Freshman year of high school I met this one girl. Now this was the time where I still hated myself for being gay, so I tried to suppress it and tried to be straight. And so we started out as being good friends. Eventually she asked me out on a date, and me being my trying to be straight self, I accepted. We ended up dating for...about two years...Eventually I just had to come clean. Not just to her, but to myself. It really broke her heart, but eventually she actually forgave me. To this day we're still good friends. I really regret ever doing that, but at least it didn't have more devastating consequences and it actually taught me a valuable lesson. You should love yourself and accept yourself no matter who or what you are.

Man..that sounds like a pretty tough situation. Awesome you're still friends though
I've told some pretty big and hurtful lies in the past, to people that are important to me, no less. I felt really really bad for it for a really long time and tried to punish myself for it, which only made things worse.
I came clean to most of the people I lied to, and thankfully they've all forgiven me. Even the person who I hurt the most. I don't think he really thinks about it all that much anymore.
I'm glad that I'm able to put that behind me and learn from my mistakes. A lot of people don't get that privilege, and I'm thankful to be able to make it up to the people I hurt in full.
The worst thing I ever did is when I was little, I placed a elastic band on my cat's foot, it swelled up. I regret it so much. I never understood why I done that. I felt bad for my cat. 😟
