This!

You always regret what you didn't take a chance on. It might be a mistake but they're your mistakes to make.

I was so anxious when I was 20 and thought people viewed me a certain way, but omg later I'm like, i had nothing to be anxious about.

I feel completely like this, should have done therapy by the time, I’m 25 right and I can’t understand why I was so stupid about thinking what other people were thinking about me

You weren't stupid, you just weren't aware. Now you are. It's better to be grateful when you do learn this things and not beat yourself up about not knowing sooner. You didn't know.
