Im still thinking wether i chose what i really wanted to be, i love programming, but i want to socialise with people as much as possible, yet the path i chose is not really social. I love the programmers i know, they are such great people and probably the people which u could have fun while just speaking. When i speak and when i finish my speach i feel a little bit warmer, better inside, as if a little flame of spirit got inspired and made me feel its touch. But with programming its different, i feel happy when i finish my program and that i can help other people by creating these kind of things.

There's so many things I regret in my life I wouldn't even know where to begin in listing them all. I'm currently trying to put it all behind me though and further my education by going to college.

Not really regret, but I might be better off doing other things.

Of course there are things in life I regret and things I'm not proud of, but thats what's shaping us. The school I went to for 5 years haven't been the right choice for me and I could say it was wasted time, but it wasn't....I learned from it and now I know better ;)
And for you, don't let others tell you what they think is right for you, choose what you really think you want :)

If you want to both program and have a chance to be social, try working at a startup. If you're good at talking you could be helpful at trying to get investments, showing your products at conventions, that kind of stuff.

Another option is to lecture about programming. When you get enough experience in a subject giving lectures can actually get you more money than programming.

The only thing I regret is investing into the wrong people emotionally.
I had two best friends for 17 years.
The first one I lost two years ago, because someone with a vagina told him that she didn't like him spending time with me.
So being the great man he is, he pretended to be busy and lied to my face, so that's what I get for 15 years of support.

The second one was after my girl, constantly lied and had empty promises. He only called/wrote something when he needed something.

I fucked up a relationship with a girl once, haunts me to this very day. She was deadly in love with me and I was too scared, so I made a mistake and chose to lie to her about meeting each other. Bad choice. I am but moments away to visit her and just apologize and leave her forever as she has a child now and future husband.

Summarizing all this it made me who I am. A professional. Yes during my last years of university I got to hear how great of a team partner or professional I am. People love to be around me for projects, group works and tasks. Or in sports as team captain and member. Everyone has fun and loves my competence and so all.
One day I remember how my colleagues who hang out with each other and know each other for 4 years now wanted to buy me a gift for birthday, because someone apparently told them.
I got a book about technology and a birthday card with the wrong age on it.
I was saddened by that, but hid my emotions.

So yeah summa summarum, make intelligent investments in every area of life.
