How many times do you take high-risk situations each day?

I for one take at least a couple every day, sitting right next to people I know are quite bad and do the wrong things and whatnot.

But, how about times when you involved yourselves in high-risk situations, actually got into one, and lost it all in the end. I mean, you absolute lose everything.

It hasn't happened to me personally, but my uncle did. He drove his motorcycle down this street, crashed, and got seriously injured because he didn't take that many precautions, such as wearing a helmet....though that can be explained away, if you know how gridlock is on the streets of Manila. :P

Or if you didn't lose it all, you at lost something valuable, how about that? ;)
 
I try to the best of my ability to NOT take risks. I can see myself gambling for fun, and losing all of my money, but...putting my life on the line? I do everything to avoid it. I try to pursuade my boyfriend to be more precaucious. For instance, when he drives at 120 on the freeway, I practically shove my feet through the floorboards in anxiety. I don't like having my own life on the line, no sir.
 
Well, of course losing material things are much easier to do than risking your life or something. :P
We all try of course, but some situations just happen to be unavoidable, such as riding in a car or any other vehicle. It's high risk most of the time if you don't follow the rules or something. 120 on a car?!, on the freeway? in LA? Is that even possible? :P

Yes, we do step over the line sometimes, but I don't know, it seems more dangerous than it first appears. It could develop a habit in us and it'll get worse when that starts to kick in.
 
Risking YOUR life is one thing. Risking the life of other people is another thing. Rhea's boyfriend is clearly a moron. Warbourne is clearly just adventurous. Class, please note the difference in your worksheets. There will be a quiz.
 
Taking risks is what makes life so interesting. If you didn't, your life would become predictable and boring. You'd never get anywhere or truly be happy.

I'm struggling to think of when I last took a huge risk at all, never mind taking one and losing out. Of course, I take small risks each day, just like everybody else. Even when I got together with my girlfriend, I didn't go all out to get her, because we were both interested and it sort of just happened.
 
*shrugs* Not really…

 Funny that you mention motorcycles though. Everyone with the exception of my brother who’s owns a motorcycle has been in a serious accident on them. Lol… I know I mentioned something about something about this in another one of your other threads.

Anyway, I guess the biggest risk I’ve taken would be on a very rare occasion, driving a motorcycle, especially without a helmet. Careless and dumb? Yes, but I would never go into heavy traffic or a highway on one. So I actually consider it a low risk more than anything.
 
I guess I've taken many risks in life...I've regretted most of them, as I've almost lost everything. I won't go into details though.

Then there's the time back when I was working at Meijer...I was almost hurt or possibly killed because I did something stupid. I jumped right in front of this huge guy trying to get away by stealing 500 dollars worth of cigarettes.

I suppose you could say my body took over my mind. I didn't know what the hell I was doing. =/ Then when he was a few feet from me and advancing towards me, (hands in pocket), that's when I snapped out of it and backed away slowly. Fortunately, there was a cop at our store at the time. That was so scary.

They caught him at the front of the store and had to taze him three times...since he wouldn't go down the first two taze due to being on crack. >.<

3rd shift is too dangerous for me. But I'm actually planning on going back again (if I don't find another job by the next month) to Meijer and working 3rd shift...just not as a cashier anymore. xD Grocery or GM would do.

So am I taking a risk again? I suppose you could say that.
 
Marbie I think everyone who knows you would agree that regardless of what you regret in your life, because you're such an upstanding and decent person, only good things will come your way. Regardless of what mistakes you've made or what fate has thrown at you, and not matter how disappointing those setbacks may seem, you will always be a source of happiness for others. And because of that, you should reflect some of that positiveness you give to others onto yourself... so that you feel just as happy as you make others feel. :)
 
Well, a lot of my love life revolves around this girl I used to like. Her and my sister were always at each other's throats due to one's nosiness, and one's disability to stfu. There were constant bitching matches held, which I am not going to mention. It feels like I really messed up, but I was glad to have her off my chest.... So here comes my glorious story.

I used to look at her from across the cafeteria all the time for about two weeks. I finally mustered up the testicles to go over and talk to her one day and ask her out. She told me a few days later liek, RITE B4 the date, that she wanted to know me better before she went out with me alone....

A couple days later, she was dating a guy she had never even met before. She went out with him until Christmas Eve. She broke up with him and we talked for a while... She was totally crying and using me as an emotional airbag. She had mentioned he slapped her for some reason. :monster:

She probably deserved it, knowing how she is. :dry:

After that, I decided it would be fun to play truent for 2 months. I come back to school and hear that she's gone out with like, four guys since Christmas. So we hooked up again and started hanging out. After this time, I started hanging out with her in public locations other than McDonald's an' shite places like that. So speeding up a couple weeks of nothing....

I finally ask her out again. She says yes. I was expecting to pick her up, but at the last minute, she says she's having someone else bring her to the movies. Her cousin brought her along with two other guys. We walked around the mall for about an hour and ditched one of the dudes. Then we went to see the movie, after many complications we went to go see it. While we were in the movie, she acted very snuggly with the other guy. It pissed me off to no end. I just got up randomly during the movie in a rage and left.

I hadn't talked to her for three whole weeks and started playing truent again.

(I consider this to be my risk)

After that time period was up, I thought about how I felt and why I was so pissed for a good three days. Me and her talked(Mostly me.) I told her about how I felt for her and why I was angry. She brushed it off like it was nothing.

So I just split. My moral fiber was no longer intact. I went pyscho on my wall with my boots and bow and arrow set. Later after that, I had heard that my mother and sister were in a car crash. I was on the edge of sanity, ready to throw everything into the wind and do something crazy.

Ever since, I've not been interested in looking for a girlfriend. So I lost my interest in finding a girlfriend, a valuable friend, my IRL social life, and any ambition I ever had to do anything.
 
I don't think I ever have taken a huge risk... I've always had a safety net there in case something went wrong, and nothing has. The one case I can think of would be meeting my online ex. My parents came with me, so they were my safety net. As I expected, he was who he said. :lol:
 
I actually don't take many risks anymore. I'm at a point in my life where I really need to plan really carefully or I can lose everything. The risks that I have took have all payed up so far, but you can only be lucky for so long.

There was a chance that I could risk everything, but I'd have to quit my job and join this one online business where I could be making $3000-$5000 a month for the first year there, but if it failed I wouldn't be able to afford my house, go to school, I'd pretty much be homeless and uneducated with nothing to show. If I was doing a little better I probably would have risked it,but I'm barely getting by as it is and I can't afford to risk anything at this point
