I'll put my hand up and say that I will wish I worked harder. My job is simple and i work remote. If I was willing to work harder, I could either move up in the company or move to a competitor. That would get me more money. More money would help me to pay rent on a nicer place to live. And then with the new nice place, I could get the rest of my head in order. So I will absolutely go to my doom wishing I worked harder, put in more hours, and showed a high degree of dedication.

If it's from MSU, it can safely be ignored.

Source: I went there. Gained nothing but a piece of paper. Lost time, money, and effort.

Thank you for this research. It always helps to keep up-to-date and make sure people are aware that projects they might put sensitive info into are abandoned.

They said it had a massive storage capacity, and it was going to be expanded, and kept somewhere safe. What's the difference if it feels real?

Man, I wish. There's a lot of money in that field.

Lost touch with most of my friends during the lockdowns, no romantic connections pending, and home sucks. Work is my escape.

I'm one of the rare people who'll say that I wish I spent more time at work.

I've run into similar issues because frankly, the lockdowns of 2020-2023 also shut down my socialization almost completely. I don't share verbally, but only in pseudonymous settings like social media. In real life, I'm either task-focused (up until last month I was going to board games once a week - I've since shut down), taciturn and focused inward, or drunk. I don't share inner thoughts or opinions. I don't care much about what others around me say. The biggest problem for me of sober socializing is mostly that I don't have anyone I'd particularly like to be with, when I'm sober.

Now that I'm in that spiral, I don't see a way back.
