Do you ever regret certain decisions that you make? If yes, then how do you deal with them?

Question

I regret the simplest decision of texting or calling someone....or saying something silly

if No then what is your outlook on decisions and life? How do you cope?

Answer 1

If you regret things constantly you are just denying your true sense of character! You sound like a person who makes an effort and it never matters if you say something silly, everyone does it and you probably made someone smile! Think of the positive knock on effect of your actions if your actions at the time didnt make you feel good!

a wise man who invented the telphone said:

When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.

Regret is looking back! So look forward to looking ahead!! Otherwise you'll regret regretting so much!x

Answer 2

I'm a great believer in having no regrets but when we feel we made the wrong decision then learn from those "regrets." We all choose the path we have chosen to take for a reason...just enjoy the journey and learn from everything you do

Answer 3

Theres just no point regretting things cos all it does it cause headache and stress. Every decision you make no matter how wrong you think it to be will eventually lead you to where you are supposed to be in life no matter how s**t the ride turns out to be at times so just go with the flow...........there are worse things that could happen that a few dumb decisions!

Answer 4

Choices are made to make decisions,
when a decision was made,
it was suppose to be the best decision at that time
considering the available factors.

Definitely... NO REGRETS, you can never change the past.
But surely, you have total control of the present.

Answer 5

yes i regret certain things in my life and some times wished i could turn the clock back in time and put right, the wrongs ive done, but even though i d a rough year last year, i went through hell and back i came through the other side and just coped with it, you have to iin the long run as no other person will do it for you

Answer 6

Try this! Think before taking any action. For the bigger decision, think twice. When things have gone wrong, always remind yourself that it was the best choice at the moment, given that you have limited of the resources (money, connection, whatsoever). It was the best you can do at the time. No regret! No remorse!

Answer 7

Yes, I regret things, though I wouldn't exactly deem it healthy.
The simplest way to look at it is by telling yourself it has already happened and you can't turn back time.
Of course, there's always damage control, I suppose.
In any case, I'm sure someone else will come up with something helpful. Good luck!

Answer 8

quite simple, tell yourself it was the right decision at the time, it was how you felt so don't beat yourself up, if we all had the power of hindsight we would never make mistakes an were is the joy in being right all the time, we all learn from our mistakes, just try to brush it aside an get on with life, if you have hurt someones feelings then say sorry, if you have hurt yourself say sorry an let it go xx

Answer 9

Yes of course I have an array of minor regrets at the daily things I do. I just accept there is nothing I can do to change them, if you make a mistake learn from it don't stress.

Answer 10

yes. going into a pre-marital relationship that ended in disaster. the birth of an 8 year old daughter whom i love so much but cant have living with me. that relationship and the decision to have a child then still remains a great source of regret.
