Although I'm not proud of everything I've done, I know that certain things that happened were necessary. So, no, I don't regret anything I've done, because this is how we learn. I do, however, regret not doing things in certain situations, but, then again there are lessons in that too.
So, I'd have to say I regret what I haven't done. If only I knew then what I know now....things would have been different. But that's the lesson, right?

For things I haven't done. Regrets may come after you have committed a mistake but u have to think that it is already done and there.The most important thing is what you should be doing about it and doing it. With the many things to wish for and to have to do, sometimes we just end it all in plans, thinking and not doing it, then always asking in the end what would you have made to make more from it. Mistakes come often but we dont have to pay it for the rest of our lives. From those mistakes, we create a far better world for us to step into. So that when you have something in mind, go for it. (U just have to weigh the pros and cons)

Mostly for things Ive done, because I still have time to do the things I havent done. But I try to learn from my mistakes and not regret anything. Regret serves no real purpose. I try and live in the moment and experience each moment as it comes.

I mostly regret for the things I haven't done
because the things I have done are given my 100 % so they are perfectly done and I have nothing to regret or excuse about
But
I want to try for the things I haven't done.

Very few things at this point. For things that I have done in the past, I've tried to make amends and I've let them go. And for things I haven't done, I'm still alive, so I have hope.

No contest, I regret the things that I didn't do far more than that which I did. I have found that it is far easier on the mind to know that you failed while trying than it is to fail to try. That having been said I am not referring to robbing a bank, or failing to do so, or anything of that nature. I mean the things that are available to you when younger, and single, that are no longer an option when older and married.

Things i haven't done because the things i have done to this point have made me the person i am today. and I'm OK with who i am now. i just hope I'll be OK with how my life turns as a result of not doing or trying something.

I try not to regret things that I have done, and instead try to learn from them. I do, however, deeply regret things I have not done when I had the opportunity, such as pursue a great love or move abroad.

There a lot of things I've done that I regret, but I think I'm unhappier about what I have not done.

It is best to live in the present moment, now, which is the only moment that really exists at this time and the only moment in which you can actually decide to do anything. Living in the present moment, I have no regrets of any kind, but I can decide to do things differently (in this moment) than I have in the past, without living in the past.
