Do you have any regrets?

[PreciousDove]

I do a lot of thinking these days. As I run into situations that I don't know what to do about at that moment I seem to reflect
that some of these someone in my family was trying to tell me and I didn't listen.
Now these are one of my biggest regrets that I should have listened more to my parents or one of my siblings and didn't.

Are there any regrets you have from your past or present?

 

[deaver]

there aint enough time to tell of all my regrets

 

[hollydolly]

Everybody has regrets..I'm sure! can;t do anything about them.. can't go back and redo things

 

[Pinky]

Yep, but then, who doesn't?
Gotta just "keep on, keeping on!"

 

[fuzzybuddy]

What could have been is always a lot better than what was. Do I wish I did things differently? Yes. Do I think it matters in the long run? No.

 

[RadishRose]

More than I can count and they take turns haunting me at least once a day.

 

[Tish]

I am sure we all have regrets, my approach is to forgive myself and remember the lesson.

 

[NorthernLight]

Sometimes there's a lesson. But for the big regrets I don't think there is.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I could use a couple of do-overs.

I feel this so much.

Just about every night at 2 a.m., my mind runs a movie reminding me about things that I should or shouldn't have done.

I wish I could change the channel but the knob is broken.

Yeah, I would like a mulligan for every hole in my life.

 

[squatting dog]

Only 2 major regrets, and maybe a bunch of little ones. One was not seeing or hearing my daughters cry for help. The other I'm not ready to share.

 

[Kika]

Many. I try to get past them, but they won't let me go.

I understand.

Of course, biggest ones are for things I didn't, but could have done.

Don't think about them much, and not bothered at all. I did my best, or what I thought was at the time, what else is there?

With emails that I regret sending (maybe have typos, etc), I will mull about, and a short while later, will send another email to rectify the first one. That has minimized my email regrets!

With other regrets. If it came from a moment of anger, I usually asked for forgiveness or tried to resolve the issue quickly. It has worked for me. And maybe there was an important lesson for me to learn in the process.

I feel it's important to move on, or we get stuck in the past, and that's already finished. That is why I try and resolve anything that I might feel regret for (as soon as possible). If not, it usually takes 2-3 weeks to get over it, and then its history or pops up in my dreams.

If we get stuck in the past, we aren't living this moment.

Like the old saying back in the 70s, Keep on Trucking. I’ve had several and have put them all behind me. I’ve replaced them with love and caring.

Shoot, I've got a matched set of luggage filled with 'em.
Got off the plane
Never picked 'em up

They may still be on the carrousel

Somebody prolly stole 'em
Poor bastard

 

[Liberty]

Honestly don't know if I would have done many things differently. So grateful that in the perceived "big things" zip regrets...its the batch of little issues that might confound me...lol.

I believe you can do something about them.. Learn from it then and then don't do it again. Be willing to talk about
it with some people that may be younger than you, so they won't make that same regret.

 

[senior chef]

Yes, many regrets. I wish that I could go back and apologize. The regrets haunt me.

 

[katlupe]

I have a ton of them. Can't do anything about them now. So look forward not backward.

 

[chic]

Just a few but they were BIGGIES. When I make a mistake, I really make a mistake. But there is nothing to be gained from regret. It prevents us from moving forward and learning from our mistakes. We can always do better next time. Right? This is how I try to live and help others to live also.

 

[dobielvr]

Yes.
Too late now...
