Question

I think it a needed emotion...it shows remorde....
why do other people pretend they have no regrets

Answer 1

Regret:
1.To feel sorry, disappointed, or distressed about.
2. To remember with a feeling of loss or sorrow; mourn.
To feel regret:
1. A sense of loss and longing for someone or something gone.
2. A feeling of disappointment or distress about something that one wishes could be different.
Remorse:
Moral anguish arising from repentance for past misdeeds; bitter regret.

There seems to be a slight difference. Both indicate sorrow, yet remorse indicates repentence which means you might not repeat the act.

Answer 2

There is a big difference between regrets and mistakes. I feel remorse to some dumb mistakes that I have made in the past, but I do not look at it as a regret.

I personally do not have any regrets because if I could take it back then I wouldnt be here where I am today. No drugs, no debt, no failures. Why have regrets over little things in life and be sad about things you just cant avoid.

Unlike some people who take remorse over their regrets end up seeing the glass half emplty for the rest of their lives. They have no self confidence and expect people to feel bad for them for the rest of their lives.

Answer 3

People's biggest regret is not accepting regret. They pretend that they have no regrets because they think that if they regret the people ignore them.

Answer 4

Moral anguish arising from repentance for past misdeeds; bitter regret. See synonyms at penitence.
Obsolete. Compassion.
Remorse is an emotional expression of personal regret -- that is, the emotion felt by the injurer after he or she has injured. Remorse is closely allied to guilt. Ex. The boy felt much remorse after hitting the old lady. The idea of remorse is used in restorative justice.

One incapable of feeling remorse is often labelled a sociopath or psychopath - formerly a DSM III condition. Some researchers have lately suggested that this lack is more characteristic of the INTJ personality, a highly rational temperament that relies very little on emotion, but the scientific worth and psychological accuracy of the Myers-Briggs Indication Test have been strongly questioned. In general, a person needs to be unable to feel fear, as well as remorse in order to develop psychopathic traits.

"Buyer's remorse" is the concept of regretting a purchase after the fact of buying it.

Regretting one's earlier action or failure to act may be because of remorse or to various other consequences, including being punished for it.

Acceptance, in spirituality, mindfulness, and human psychology, usually refers to the experience of a situation without an intention to change that situation. Acceptance does not require that change is possible or even conceivable, nor does it require that the situation be desired or approved by those accepting it. Indeed, acceptance is often suggested when a situation is both disliked and unchangeable, or when change may be possible only at great cost or risk. Acceptance may imply only a lack of outward, behavioral attempts at possible change, but the word is also used more specifically for a felt or hypothesized cognitive or emotional state. Thus someone may decide to take no action against a situation and yet be said to have not accepted it.

Acceptance is contrasted with resistance, but that term has strong political and psychoanalytic connotations not applicable in many contexts. Acceptance is sometimes used with notions of willingness: "Even if an unchosen, undesired, inescapable situation befalls me, I can still willingly choose to accept it."

By groups and by individuals, acceptance can be of various events and conditions in the world; individuals may also accept elements of their own thoughts, feelings, and personal histories. For example, psychotherapeutic treatment of a person with depression or anxiety could involve fostering acceptance either for whatever personal circumstances may give rise to those feelings or for the feelings themselves. (Psychotherapy could also involve lessening an individual's acceptance of various situations.)

Notions of acceptance are prominent in many faiths and meditation practices. For example, Buddhism's first noble truth, "Life is suffering", invites people to accept that suffering is a natural part of life.

Minority groups in society often describe their goal as "acceptance", wherein the majority will not challenge the minority's full participation in society. A majority may be said (at best) to "tolerate" minorities when it confines their participation to certain aspects of society
